Yes, this is a rant...
Some of ya'll need to do better with messaging people. Introduce yourself properly, however you would like to be addressed. Ask about the other person, their day, make them feel comfortable to continue talking to you. Some of you guys message like a predator looking for their next prey. In my profile, I never ever said I was interested in that predator/prey dynamic. "Wanna chat", "what u doing up", "do you have Telegram or [insert messaging app here], as a very first sentence is not attractive nor is it a conversation starter. Look up how to have a conversation on Youtube, look at your local library for books on icebreakers and how to continue conversations. If you have social anxiety like me, go to counseling/therapy or again if you can't, look up the numerous resources on the internet and your library, or Amazon. C'mon it's 2024, there's no excuse for being ignorant or coming across like an ogre. Learn to speak properly for Christ's sake. Please. Thank you.
