This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Wtf is a Gonial Angle or a Canthal tilt?

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 81 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Gonial angle is this:

Canthal tilt is that:

As I was googling I've seen articles mentioning some angles statistically more attractive than others, that's predictable, but then incels take it as another reason why they are genetically predisposed to stay virgins and have no power to change that.

The ifunny watermark really tips this over the edge, comedically.

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It could only be beaten by a SomethingAwful watermark (do they have one?) on a picture of non-attractive angles.

Ah, am woman, can confirm I only date mane with a Gonial Angle over 140 degrees, or under 30

how do you bring out the protractor on dates?

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 month ago

Oh, us females inherently judge the angle flawlessly on first sight.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

Under 30 degrees? So, like pugs and French bulldogs?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've no doubt that at least half the articles about those phrases will lead you down a path of right wing fuckbaggery.

Closer to 99%. This is modern phrenology for incels.

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Wouldn't say the studies themselves are only worthy for that, but yeah, there's no way a common person would apply them the other way.

[–] gigachad@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago

As a gigachad I can confirm.

Some people take pleasure in being pitied and victimised.

I'm going to guess at "Incel excuses for not getting laid."

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Anything but the harsh reality that they could get laid if they behaved better and presented themselves better

Yup, the bar is sadly that low sometimes.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Talking with some female friends the bar for men is so incredibly low. Trim your hair, bathe regularly, brush your teeth and be non-creepy and you're already in the top 50% or so

Oh, and wear clean clothes. That raises the bar a smidge.

You need to touch less grass and spend more time online.

Depends on whether you want to a cool kid.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Things people think about when they haven't learned to manage obsessive rumination in their own minds and live every day with a kind of stress or misery that few people who are even slightly healthier can even comprehend.

Who the fuck cares honestly other than shut in weirdo's
