I noticed that a lot of the messages I get on Hinge have this strange negative undertone and these are the opening messages… below is a selection.
”Is your vibe as cool as it looks? Or is it only your photos?”
(I have a photo of me holding a glass of champagne before a party)
”That looks good with some champagne, are that one of those ”Champagne girls””?
”Wow you’re holding on to that chair for dear life”
”Ask me 3 questions and we’ll see if I am interesting enough for you to want to speak to me.”
(One of my texts is, you win me by: Making me laugh)
”Oh well can you make me laugh otherwise it’s not really fair is it?”
I’m kind of beating down by the amount of messages that seem to set the tone of humbling me, or insinuating that I’m stuck up or rude or something before we even spoke.
