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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don't know if this helps, but I didn't meet my wife until I was in my forties. You have time.
But I'm guessing she wasn't your first relationship?
Correct, but the other ones sucked
If ur 30+ you can have romantic moments with women, which is nice.
Don't limit the guy. He can have romantic moments with men, too.
Sometimes I have romantic moments all on my own.
Regardless of gender, your 30s is a perfect time to date cute single people who just finished their first divorce.
Lol relatable haha
Time to buy a rope
its never too late to start being lovely
At 30+ my romantic relationships are far more personal and romantic then any relationship I had in my 20's...
Well you had relationships in your 20s though?
30 is too old to date a girl, yes. Not too old to date a woman though.
Yup, my brother married a wonderful woman when he was in his late 30s. They've been married >5 years and they still seem happy.
I've known people who found love much later as well. It's never too late OP.
Nothing triggers my depression more than seeing happy couples
Everyone complaining about the gross vibes of the post, which like yeah, true. But also even within the framing of the post itself it's just bad. The second and third lines are basically "realise X". The third line adds nothing of value to the original OP's intent.
What gross vibes?
Don't lump the guy in with incels. He's not blaming other people for his problems, or complaining. He's just lamenting. I don't see anything in his post that's gross. Leave a lonely dude alone. God forbid he let himself feel sad for 5 seconds.
It's a bitter pill to swallow, but the truth is that some people just aren't meant to be loved. I think accepting that is, for some people, a bit part of growing up and becoming a more mature person. You gotta stop being envious of others who possess something you never will and just kinda...get on with your life. Find a cause you care about. Put your energy elsewhere. Maybe stop watching romcom anime.
That's pretty much where I'm at. I'm 38 and supremely pathetic in the eyes of society. I've just accepted that I'm entirely undesirable and live how I want to, or at least live in the way I'm allowed to. In a way I've turned into my parents where I find myself saying "life isn't a fairy tale" to people kinda often lol there is no "someone for everyone."
Love is for other people.
Homeownership is for other people.
Career enjoyment is for other people.
Retirement is for other people.
It is what it is.
