Lolol if you’re not good at babbling on and on like a woman, you’re socially inept? Well I’ll be damned.

I hate it when guys post on their profiles how much they hate small talk or how I need to "be more creative than [NORMAL CONVERSATION OPENER]"

Especially when their profile is mostly blank.

Small talk serves a purpose. It greases the wheels and gets people into a rhythm. Sales people who tend to be very socially gifted are masters of small talk. It's way more natural and genuine than some contrived tryhard message that makes you cringe just reading it.

Ok buddy you spent 10 minutes crafting this limerick... I appreciate the effort... but you aren't my type. You could have also discovered this by sending me, "hey, how's it going?" like a normal stranger.

If you WERE my type, I could make it past the hamfisted attempt to work something from my profile into the 1st message. But you'd've had me at "hello".

Anyone feel me? Or am I a weirdo?
