#first messages

"Hey female.”????????????????????????? 

I get that making the first move is hard (I do it myself from time to time), but really? 

hey (also see: hi, hello, whats up, etc. with basically no follow up): I can literally think of nothing to say and I did not read your profile.

hru: I’m too damn lazy to even spell things out and I’m hoping that just by sending this out you’ll start a conversation with me.

Your eyes are just so stunning (also see: ur eyes r so pretty, your eyes are so beautiful, basically anything with ‘eyes’ in it): Generic compliment to get you to talk to me and I did not read your profile. You could have every picture from the neck down but I would still say this because I’m hoping that by saying this you’ll talk to me. All I saw were pictures and said let’s see if they’ll let me smash them.

Your smile is stunning (also see: your smile looks so sexy, ur smile is so sweet, ur smile looks nice, etc.): Generic compliment to get you to talk to me and I did not read your profile. You’re probably not even smiling in any of them but I figured you’d take the compliment anyway and talk to me. All I say that you were vaguely what I’m willing to fuck and messaged.

Long ass scripted message( can be anything from their’ about what I’m looking for, who they are, or what they ‘felt’ when they came across your profile for the first time): I’m playing a numbers game and see any response as a positive thing. I did not read your profile. I will refuse to acknowledge that this is a mass sent message to everyone online.

Long ass scripted message about finding love (also see: ‘the one’, I’m recently divorced/widowed, parent of 1+): Scammer.

kisses (also see: kissy face, xxxxxx, etc.) : I have no idea how to talk to people like people instead of things that I can fuck. I’m also probably using a translator because I refuse to ignore profiles that don’t speak my language.  

Stickers (also see: kissy stickers, bear stickers, emoji stickers): I am immature and probably using a translator. I know that if I talk like a normal adult you’ll blow me off or I’ll piss you off so I stick with stickers to keep the “conversation” going for 2 or more messages. I did not read your profile but I hope the stickers are good enough for you to talk to me.

Emojis (not to be confused with stickers): I am a literal child who can’t bother or won’t even try to spell anything out (also could be any combination of drunk/high) and think its a great idea to send out emojis instead of a well thought out sentence that shows that I read your profile and have similar interests. 

Negging (ex: I bet you can’t name x, you look good but..., you aren’t mature enough for me, etc.): I know that I don’t meet anything you want but I think I can change the odds by using reverse physiology. I skimmed your profile and got mad when it excluded me. 

Begging (also see: self loathing, whining in your inbox, pity parties, etc.): I saw that I’m excluded from your profile and hoped my ‘poor pitiful me’ act would get me a pity date. 

Bargaining (also see: I’ll leave you alone if you do one date with me, I can help you if you date me, I’ll leave you alone if you agree to call me): I read your profile but think that I can negotiate my way past your boundaries. I think everything is like a movie and if I try hard enough you’ll have to date me because I’m so ‘earnest’ about wanting a chance with you.

Gross messages about fetishes, sexually charged or fantasies: I am in a relationship currently and am a gross person. I come online looking to cheat and will literally ask anyone in hopes that someone will take me up on the offer.

Gibberish: They are drunk/high and are probably doing it for the ‘lols’ rather than bring serious. They read nothing and will (hopefully) regret it later.

Offering cash for sex: I have no idea what sex workers are and will harass anyone online that looks like they could be just so I can smash. I will claim that its a power thing but really I’m that pathetic and have nothing better to do.

Sending unsolicited pics: I have lost all sense of common decency and am only interested in getting a reaction at this point to prove I’m not the only real person online. I’ll take anything as a positive at this point and don’t give a fuck if you like it.

Derogatory messages (also see: death threats, slurs, rape threats): I read your profile but instead of backing off and finding someone else I want to show you how much you pissed me off by excluding me. I’ll follow you from every site that I can to scream at you until you block me and make multiple accounts. I have no life and think in time I’ll wear you down so you’ll date me.
