30 is the narrative online where you're pretty much 100 years old. They're convinced once you hit 30 you might as well be her grandpa. The manosphere propaganda feeds off ageism insecurity.

It's the cultural narrative of where adulthood begins these days.

Childhood has been extended through your 20s.

it used to be 18 in the 1950s.

Current cultural narrative
Baby: 0–6
Kid: 7–29
Adult: 30–39
Old: 40–49
Ancient decrepit mummified creature: 50–120

There's a small window between 30 and 40 that is considered ideal. Everything else suffers from some kind of ageism

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.
