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 think the phrasing is the problem. This comes off as overly negative. If you say something more along the lines of "I am not yet ready to have kids, so I'd rather not be with someone who has them. I like women who are in good shape, and I am looking for a long term relationship." You come off as way less of an incel.

It is not an unknown that a lot of men have no interest in a single mother or raising someone else’s child. Saying that’s at incel level is a silly over exaggeration.
