Read on Twitter
No creeps have come on to me on Twitter DM in years, but men on Instagram are OUT OF CONTROL. Wow. They can just look at pics & not have to read women& #39;s words over there, huh?
A GIF gallery of "Hi." messages on Instagram:
"Hi."
"Hello there."
"Hi beautiful."
"well hello victoria"
Years ago, a guy on Twitter got mad when I said it& #39;s supremely creepy to start an online convo with "hi." He said I was being mean.
"Really? Would you stop in front of a woman on the street, say "Hi", then just stand there, OR WOULD THAT BE CREEPY?"
He shut up.
"Really? Would you stop in front of a woman on the street, say "Hi", then just stand there, OR WOULD THAT BE CREEPY?"
He shut up.
Starting a conversation is something like "I loved that movie too!" It& #39;s an interaction. Saying "hi" is trying to force attention & response from someone while giving no idea of context or boundary & it& #39;s a neon red flag. Block.
(it& #39;s also sending out Private Messages to 1000 women a day, of course. Fingers crossed, creeps!)
