@blek I thought was slang for vulva?
I'm pretty sure you're wrong.
Urban dictionary disagrees.
An emoji incorrectly used by Millennial twats to represent an ass. It actually represents the pussy
Sounds to me like ass is the one commonly understood for the emoji.
You can interpret words as you will.

It's almost as if language was a living thing and meanings changed with time. But surely it cannot be?
-
@remi has the Acadamie authorised any emoji based french yet?
-
@Jaloopa How do you say "Omelette Du Fromage" in emoji?
-
@Jaloopa Since it takes them about 10 years to update each volume of their dictionary (which contains 10 or so volumes), maybe by 2100 they will have started considering introducing emojis in the "new" version.

@Luhmann Better yet: du Fr-

The one thing that's worse than barely functional, crappy dating apps are the people on it.
: Hey.
: Hi.
: How are you?
: I'm doing fine, thanks. How are you?
: no replyThis has been an insightful and enlightening exchange.Thanks for the conversation, why the fuck did you message me?!
-
@topspin I'd be more like this:
...
: I'm doing fine, thanks. How are you?
: I'm great thanks.
: oh fuck, what now?I'm not the best person at interacting with other humans but I'm far better at it in person than via text.
-
@loopback0 Yeah, I guess it’s sometimes not easy to start a conversation from nothing.
But I didn’t send the first message and I returned the same question, so at least fucking answer that. And don’t blame me if you think “how are you?” is boring (there are people like that) if that was your message.

Looks like I’m on a roll today.
This is either a troll or takes the cake for worst pickup line.I considered replying “why don’t you learn German first”, but they need a bigger bait for that.

Maybe a shitty attempt at negging?

I never understood the purpose of these tactics. If the goal is PUA plate-spinning, maybe. If the goal is a long-term relationship, starting it off with insults or manipulation is a fantastic way to make the other party trust and feel safe with you.

@Groaner The only thing it achieved was a blocking.

Certain manosphere subreddits might suggest responding with, "You need to lose weight," or "You need implants," either of which would likely be met with "THAT'S NOT THE SAME THING!" (hint: it is)

To a profile without a picture or any stats?
No, don’t feed the troll / pathetic loser (whatever’s appropriate). If triggering someone is their goal, getting ignored is the least satisfactory for them.

My theory is that it's a poor imitation of the way couples and good friends riff on each other. My wife and I sometimes insult each other in a flirty kind of way, knowing it's all in good fun. If you explain that badly to someone who's already a bit socially awkward it could easily manifest in something like that conversation

Manipulation only backfires if it doesn't work. Because when it does, the target doesn't even see it.

@Gąska: not always. Some people are aware they're being manipulated, but don't actively counter it (because of pity, fear, dependence, low self-esteem, etc.)

I don’t follow. If that were the case, what would it imply?
Why would that make you start a conversation with someone you’re not interested in?

"Traditionally", women on Tinder etc. never message first - it's the man's job to win her with a good pickup. But if there's no other way than for the woman to message first... they put bare minimum effort into it and expect the reply to be a good pickup.
-
@topspin well, plenty of women on dating sites and apps seem to be completely passive and wait for a message even if they're "interested", they seem to be waiting for the man to blow their mind with something incredibly witty or whatever, even though they don't give the men anything of any substance to start with. But if they can't just do that because they have to initiate, it would make sense if they opened with "hi" and then immediately went back to waiting to be amazed.

Okay, I see. But “bare minimum” would be “hi” (unlike some people I don’t mind that as a conversation starter), not “you suck”.
-
@topspin I was talking about the other situation, the one with no reply.
-
@topspin Oh wait, I messed up the chain of replies and didn’t realize what @Gąska was talking about. Sorry for the confusion.
-
@topspin Yeah but we're talking about the example you posted in here and Gaska's assumption you're a dude and the "hey" person is a woman - not the screenshot. Or at least I think so, this conversation is a bit confusing.
(Edit: Hah!)

This may be flawed.

@loopback0 There are no women on the internet.

@TimeBandit that works too. Though a good sedan works better.

-
@TimeBandit yes, driving a hatchback might contribute to that.

@TimeBandit you must be left-pondian for this to attract anyone.
