I just want to warn other men who use social media to get dates that if you compliment a woman’s appearance as first message non-sexually, your account may get restricted. I complimented a lady saying “Your nails are so beautiful.” and I got restricted for 24 hours.

Sliding in a DMs is no different than cold approaching in person to me. Some ladies find it welcoming. Some don’t. That’s just part of meeting women I guess. It is what is.
