One word greetings

I’ve been a member of similar worlds for a bit of time and I’ve always found it interesting that in many woman’s comments they will put a comment like “ if you message me with just a Hi I will block you”. I will say that for most men on here their ability to make that first attempt at introduction in is real hard. Confidence doesn’t always come to even those with great personalities and good hearts. Men and woman’s literary skills vary greatly. I read the great posts you ladies make because of your ability to turn even the smallest thought into a novel the size of war and peace. Men like to condense. We turn our great masterpieces of thoughts into the coles notes of writing. Next time you ladies get a greeting like 🙃 maybe wait to see what the second message contains Before blocking and missing that Leo Tolstoy

Women can be wordy but perhaps hi is a little too condensed? Certainly you can explain what interested you enough to say hi.

@midnightrose some guys need that nudge to know it’s ok to say to you why they wanna chat. Rejection from even a simple hello is a weight that compounds on men. Each one making it harder “Don’t talk to strangers” as taught to all of us as kids sometimes isn’t a message easily erased as an adult

@Northvanscotty I can understand the intimidation of beginning a conversation with a stranger. When women get inundated with messages from multiple men all saying the same one word message, I think you can understand their reasoning as well. Unfortunately, it is easier to discern a man's timid hello from the rest in person more so than online.

Maybe they need to Grow A Pair.

After all, the worst that can happen is a simple rejection. 🤷 (imho)

Every man has had rejection..... most likely, many times.
