Wife's friends always requested that she bring me along even though none of the other husbands/partners were coming. When she'd ask why they would just tell her "he's fun". I assume, "without being a tiresome asshole" was the unmentioned part.

Fake: Anon has friends

Gay: Anon is presumably built like a twink

[-] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Or has egg vibes, and has been preemptively adopted by her soon-to-be girl gang.

Basically, someone who hasn't quite realized they're not entirely cis yet. "I thought everyone had dreams of being a boy/girl." "I don't get all that upset when I'm mistaken for a guy/girl on the phone." "I don't really feel comfortable hanging out with other guys/girls. It feels boring."

Stuff like that. Other trans people can (usually) spot an egg a mile away. But like everything else in queerness, it's never cut-and-dry, black-and-white, easily defined. They could always just be comfortable enough in their birth-assigned gender to not give a shit, and that's valid.

It's considered rude to assign this trait to someone you know personally, and the topic is only broached if the person in question chooses to be vulnerable and ask you specific questions about gender. Otherwise, they are (as always) your friend first, and treating them with care and respect always comes first.

The typical protocol when one of your friends says or does something a little 'eggy' is to quietly notice it, treat it neutrally and passively, and not say anything for or against it. Let them figure things out on their own. If they are trans, they know they can ask you things. If they aren't, then they're just happy and comfortable being themself around you. In either case, it's not a bad thing.

Someone who hasn't realized they're trans yet

Well when humans go through a trying time they turn into an egg.

Is sperm gender also a term that's used? Or only egg?

[-] wholookshere@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 hours ago

No.

Its a trans femme meme of "when am egg cracks a chick emrges".

Or so the legends I saw.

[-] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 hours ago

I have no idea

[-] Stolas@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

I joined a book club on discord, and ended up playing games and watching stuff as well. I am the only guy that shows up to most of it.

But this has also always been how it is. I sat with the girls during lunch years ago when I was in grade school. Most of my mothers family was women, so when I got dragged off to spend time with them for the weekend it was just like that. Joined a frat in college, but ended up spending more time with the sorority girls.

It just be like that.

You must love the tea

[-] myyass@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

I had a scenario like this when I was couch surfing while going to college. So there I am in a attic room surrounded by 5? girls and I thought to myself wtf am I doing here. I just came here to do my laundry, my friends girlfriend said it was okay and I could take showers there as well. In hindsight, I realized I'm an idiot. She showed me her room as well. I totally missed the subtle messages; she was very intelligent, she explained her school project about the function of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). But hey I was a brain dead skateboarder then lol

I don't understand I'm a braindead biker

[-] myyass@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I had turned into a biker at one point. It was about an eight mile ride to get this shot. Probably one of my favorite, and probably because riding all the way up there.

[-] Ricaz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 23 hours ago

Idk, sounds to me like they feel comfortable around you.

I have a few close female friends, one I even usually share a bed with on trips. I asked her why it's like this once and it boiled down to "you don't expect anything from me".

I do have a partner and usually hang out mostly with women, so maybe I'm just not attractive, who knows

[-] myyass@lemmy.world 9 points 23 hours ago

I mean looking back, I don't disagree. One of the girls would help me with random stuff. Another always wanted to take photos together and put them online, I said no thank you to that. I think that people have different interpretations of attraction. In a way I found being taught about ATP very attractive but I wasn't going to interject myself between her and my friend. So you probably have an attractiveness beyond a physical appearance.

[-] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 hours ago

You are a good dude. If you were fine with being an interloper you would have probably picked up on the vibe.

I don’t know if you’re the idiot you think you are. You didn’t do anything, which rationalised the trust and why they let you in that circle in the first place. That’s a pretty decent level of trust very few men get to.

Sounds like Anon doesn't appreciate the fact that he's part of an inclusive friend group.

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

"inclusivity" is like the antithesis of 4chan

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

When I was in middle school we had a pull-up test in gym. First all the boys did theirs, then they had to leave and the girls did theirs. Nobody minded me staying because I couldn't do one just like most of the girls.

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.
