Dull Occasions

I’m finding it difficult to meet new people or enjoy conversation both on this site and elsewhere, and I don’t know if that’s on me or those I’m speaking to. Inevitably the conversation leads to “how do you do’s” or toward flirtatious remarks or compliments.

There’s a time and a place for these things but is it really so prevalent? Since joining I’ve had very few women to interact with and none at all to message, whereas random men without posts on their profile will contact me, spitting off with a complement. I’m just finding the whole affair very dull, and it disappoints me

PSA: this is to nobody in particular, but is the full sum of my experiences

Well it depends. I’ve had dull instances as well bc my posts/questions are simple and I’ve also had the other end of the spectrum with more thought provoking questions. Some of those interactions aren’t always pleasant either. People may only want to converse with you in depth bc they seriously disagree with your opinion and must let you know that.

I do agree that finding engaging conversations that last are hard on any online platform. Some don’t want to be vulnerable to someone that cant be verified (bc online and all). The most non-dull feedback you’ll get (IMO) is when you share an experience that caused you deep pain, from which you will get a lot of support and others sharing in their experiences here on SW.

And I did not see the recovered pictures from Venus! What do they reveal?

@DecafD thank you a ton for the in-depth response! I shall think hard before I post then, and aim them towards an eager audience lol

Also, I will add a pic.
