This sounds pretty typical to me.

They like each others looks, and start talking a bit. She realizes just how many red flags anon is raising, and starts to backpedal.

Fuck women impossible to understand amirite.

Edit: nothing is black and white, especially when it come to people. I was just pointing out one of the likely scenario that hadn't been pointed out when I posted.

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 32 points 2 weeks ago

Thats not a problem with "liking someone back." I think the post would have read along the lines of " i hate when someone isn't who they seem to be" in your scenario.

[-] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Perhaps, that's a good point. It is a green text though, and my bet is that the pic is unrelated.

[-] sheepishly@fedia.io 9 points 2 weeks ago

It literally says "pic related" in the greentext itself what more do you want

I don't really think it's that simple.

I think it's about that weird thing people (not women) do that makes them attracted to strangers but not friends. I find it mentioned everywhere, both online and offline.

I think that's what anon is experiencing too.

I really don't understand why people just lose all attraction as soon as mysteriousness is no longer a factor. And I've seen it happen with my own damn eyes, to me AND others.

I don't get it.

It's as if as soon as I become readily available to anyone, I suddenly become much more worthless and disposable too... Suddenly every other aspect of theif life takes priority and I'm number last. I guess because other things are only available conditionally whereas I'm pretty much always available? Idk.

Also if I'm not interested in someone, that someone always wants to interact. It's as if life constantly works to spite me.

Edit: I'm so glad I didn't get downvoted to oblivion...I feel so validated. Thanks y'all...

Getting to know people better can change your feelings about them... sometimes it makes them more attractive and sometimes less. I don't know if anyone has found me less attractive after getting to know me but I've certainly had that happen with girls I've been attracted to.

If it's a common experience for you it's probably worth exploring whether or not it's a you problem, and if so if it's something you can and should correct. There's no shortage of crappy, shallow people so maybe not but being introspective and honest with yourself is always good for you.

I usually need to get to know someone before they are attractive. I describe it as me being greedy, i want the full package not just one that looks nice.

[-] Banana@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think that's greedy, I think that's pretty normal.

I need to see how a person interacts in conversation to be attracted to them, as i am far more attracted to mannerisms and values than looks. A cute face is great, I couldn't care much about body as long as a person is relatively healthy (this is a very broad range for me).

[-] ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Strange that someone down-voted you for this.

[-] 87Six@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

I had to live 1/3rd of the time for 2 years with someone to realize I liked them myself, so yea, same

[-] 87Six@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

worth exploring whether or not it’s a you problem

idk, I am pretty weird, and not in a good "quirky" way...

[-] Apytele@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

Nah I was raised female and legit had friends like this some women (as with men) just never grow up. On a very tangentially related note I've been reflecting recently on the very primal attractiveness of a man who is visibly strong and horny enough to fuck me up but who is also visibly restraining themselves. The testosterone + self control combo is just an immediate vagina geyser.

[-] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

There's all kinds of people out there, that's for sure. Some women (and men) do like the bulky, rough on the edges but overall caring type, but some don't appreciate that virility and attention from a partner and prefer a more candid approach, others are almost self-destructive and inevitably go for guys that I wouldn't give the time of day, to each their own.

My point is mostly that there're a lot of reasons people don't click, there's nothing wrong with that.

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

How can you tell he's horny? Is he rocking a hard on all day?

Edit: I'm cluing in this attractiveness was during sex and not just general attractiveness

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, the whole situation is too vague to read for certain, even if it really happened.

I do find it more likely that this was a "Never meet your crushes" than an "OMG wtf would they like me" just out of the blue.

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Why should i never meet my crushes? Should i just chase people i feel neutral about instead? A good crush inspires me to be romantic, carefully plan dates, and even take better care of myself, which is a nice cycle cause some of those things boost my confidence anyway even if the crush doesn't feel the same way.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's not literal, it's a play on never meet your heroes. The core concept is that you project the best of your internal morals and values onto them, and then when you meet them, you find out they're not as nice, loving, caring, or compassionate as you expected.

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I guess thats where i got lost. I usually need to get to know someone a bit for a crush to develop.

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.
