I have a rant I need to get out about messaging apps!
First of all - Hi is a terrible way to start a conversation with someone you do not know.
I don't know what it is like for guys, but I get loads of messages saying hi or saw your profile. Okay - What do you want? If I replied to everyone saying hi, I'd be here for years going round in circles and getting nowhere.
I don't know your intentions. I don't know who you are. I don't know your name. I don't know anything about you other than you saw my profile...okay so what about it did you like? What caught your eye? What made you want to message? Give me something!
In fact, most of the time, people will message me for the first time with: hi. can you dom me? strip now. hi slut. saw your profile. can you do this task that completely goes against your limits because I didn't bother to read them? can you stop everything you are doing right now and do what I want?
Think: If the first thing you send me is something in my limits, am I going to respond?
The amount of times I have responded to hi only to be asked oh can you dom me? can you be my sub? No! My profile is very clear I am not looking and have no interest! If you'd taken one look at my profile, you would have known that from the start. It is an immediate red flag and I will ignore you!
Please. If you are messaging, especially externally:

Please. If you are messaging, especially externally:
- Know who you are talking to - check their likes/limits, profile, wants BEFORE you message
- Know what you want to say! Why are you messaging? Does it align with what they want or have asked for?
- If you're looking for a casual conversation, that is fine! But message on kw first and ask to move over - not everyone wants to talk about their life and that needs to be respected.
- Do not expect an immediate response - people are busy! You can't message someone and expect them to be there right away to do whatever you want.
- Be respectful - or you will just get ignored.
