Why do people assume chatting is to hook up only 😡

Really I don't know. If I looked at your username, some people would assume that is what you are looking for. But that doesn't mean we can't chat as normal people instead.

good luck finding a woman to chat with. frustrating when they are on guard and say so very little. they assume from the get go I am a bad person.
seems really bad to say what I think. God forbid. especially when others are suppose to say what they want to hear. not open to hearing different ideas/opinions. but they'll scapegoat others for being too open. maybe best to be closed just like she is ..... but then I never talk to anyone .... bad idea! lol

That's the problem with assumptions.
Some may use chatting to hook up, but should not assume everyone does!

It depends on the chat? Lol
I agree with you though.

I don't. As I don't do hook ups, I don't let chat get anywhere close to even a suggestion of hooking up. That sounds so cheap and tawdry.

I guess they think that's why we are on SW,,but most of us just want friends to chat with.

I assume it's because humans love to assume.

don't know

well, phones are for hooking up.. FiOS too, internet and wifi is hookup.

fishing you use hooks to UP the fish.


hook up your coat and such.


hey, remember those string art kits? that involved a lot of hook ups.

I have “no messages” on my profile for that reason. Still I’ve gotten a few messages from people who had a question or shared an innocent thought with me. Which is fine.

I guess it depends on what the person you're talking to is looking for.

Because it usually is fyi

It is!

For many, that’s their only motive for initiating a chat.
