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.

Why is hiking a bad first date? Its free and walking side by side makes it easier to talk casually + it makes you appear like someone who actually leaves the house.

Not sure if this was above posters point, but this was pointed out to me once...

As a guy who typically dates girls, you're asking a woman to go out in the woods alone with you to a place that likely has no cell service and no way to contact anyone and is typically for the most part completely isolated from civilization.

Maybe not for a brand new Tinder date but a hike with someone you've known otherwise for a while sounds fine. A hike doesn't have to be way out in the sticks either where you need to rub sticks to light a fire. Plus I think it makes for a great filter, if she is willing to be alone with you like that, chances are she's into you as more than just friends.

I agree, theres plenty of nice nature paths sandwiched between suburban sprawl, and they most certainly get cell service.

I think we need a new word for online dating versus dating folks you meet in your community. Maybe edating or something. I'd personally argue online dating is inherently dangerous for at least one party, regardless of circumstance, so whether its a hike in the woods or meeting at a coffee shop makes no difference.

Online dating is equivalent to blind dating essentially.

A walk in the park is a lot better, yeah.

The whole purpose of ~~buying the boat~~ going on a hike in the first place was to get the ladies nice and ~~tipsy top side~~ alone, so we can take them to a nice comfortable place ~~below deck~~, and you know, they can't refuse...because of the implication.

Are these women in danger?
