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.

I'm wondering what the hell he did at the gym to piss everyone off?

I assumed he just meant women in general.

And that's the thing: If you only go to the gym to pick up women because your horrible personality won't cut it, you'll go home disappointed.

That's a pattern I generally see with these self-loathing greentexts: The posters have "ambitions" (read: feel entitled to success, money, and/or women) but don't want to put in consistent effort or figure out why things are going wrong for them. Instead they project all the blame onto the rest of the world and spiral into depression.

When they do decide to put in the effort you usually get something along these lines:

> be me
> ugly and everyone hates me
> go to the gym to get a bod I can pick up females with bc they're all shallow
> actually get into working out
> become friends with the gym bros
> now I feel great, have a sixpack and real friends
> itsthateasy.tif
