I find it interesting when people say things like, "when a guy messages with just "hey" or "hello" they have bad intentions

But what about when a girl does it? Legit happened to me on a different website. I get this message at my inbox, "Hey :)" So I replied with, "Hey there, how's it going?"

As far as I'm aware it's a real person, roughly 15 to 20 minutes away from my location. Anyway, I think it's interesting that whole topic, "well, guys shouldn't do that, or guys are creepy if they do that" yeah well happened to me from the opposite sex. Is it creepy and they shouldn't do that as well???

Maybe, that's how some people start a conversation? I've never started an online conversation with, "Hi I'm Mark and I have brown hair and blue eyes, tell me about you!!" I honestly think a "Hi there" or "Hello" is perfectly fine. Passing a stranger on the sidewalk, it might just be a quick eye contact and "hey" or a head nod, otherwise nothing more than that.

I don't mean to upset or offend anyone, but when I see someone say something bad about people who some are genuinely good, or have good intentions, don't throw me under an umbrella is all I want to say.

Sure but online it feels like such a waste of time 😆
“Hey”
“Hey”
“How are you”
“Good and you”
“Good”
-silence-
“So what are you up to”

And so on. I probably had hundreds of intro’s like that and it’s pointless to some extent. I can already tell I won’t like the rest of the communication.
It’s not that I want to be rude or disinterested, but I’m already annoyed when conversations all go like that 😂 if people want my time which I find very valuable these days, they better say something worthwile or I won’t reply much and definitely not deep. I have no need for superficial time loss 🤷🏻‍♀
@kimmy159 At least on your profile you've made posts, there's something in your about me. So, if I sent you an initial message I would have something of substance to say.

@Hinckley I don’t expect everyone to do so just to be clear but if every conversation is just general how you doings without telling me about your day or deeper thoughts after a while, then why converse to begin with hehe
@kimmy159I agree with you.

I agree. Some people don't just dive right in. It's just an ice breaker.
@Tumbleweed Sometimes on some people's profiles, there's not a lot to comment on. No posts, no about me, minimal groups etc. You feel like a "cold-calling vacuum sales person" on that first attempt to communicate.
Tumbleweed · F
@Hinckley Yes!
100% agree with this and it reflects my experience as well. Well stated!

I hate the fact that it's more likely to get a response keeping it simple, but making greater effort often gets negative results

Modern culture really put a strain on male female relations in general

@th3r0n it's hard to say really. I think it depends upon each person, but typically, hello, or hey, should be good enough to initialize a conversation.

for me, hi/hey/hello is fine. if you get too invested in initiating a conversation with a woman
and she ignores you,
you just feel like a clown.

I'm personally not much for it. I assume they are after the obvious online.

Some guy messaged me “hey can my wife and i meet you tonight” and i said mentally “hell no creepy stranger” and didn't reply

The hell
twiigss · M
@YoMomma Yeahhh, but still. And wouldn't surprise me if it still is happening here.
