@OlderSometimesWiser why

@Humble Because you don’t call them out in public. You get to know them by interacting with them on threads and/or sending them a private message.

@SinlessOnslaught Could it be that they've sent the one permitted message which hasn't been responded to? Having realised that's the end of it and they can't pursue them in private anymore, they're forced to do it in public. Just a thought.

@FreddieUK That's still not okay.

@SinlessOnslaught absolutely not.

@Humble its overcompensating.
Its superfluous.
Its exaggerated.

Its unrealistic.


If you want realsim, you need to start with realism.


However, if you want some overidealised fantasy and have some catfish respond - keep going.


Women aren't stupid.
We wont respond to regurgitated reproductions, even if there is some serious intent behind them.

You need to be you.
You need show your integrity and individuality...
... otherwise its just showmanship 🤷‍♀

Edit:

Fyi - this phrase is from a song Lionel Richie wrote inspired by his dads speech about his mother on their 37th anniversary.

Its not written about first impressions, its written about a very long lasting relationship with the love of his life.
- waaaay too strong a message to send for an introduction.
- overkill.

Nailed it! 👍
