Here’s What’s Really Going On In People’s DMs When They Try To Chat Online

As any woman who has a social life on the internet will tell you, there are countless creeps lurking online.

Receiving unsolicited messages containing bizarre, obnoxious, and inappropriate language is unfortunately nothing new for most women who use social media, especially when it comes to dating apps and websites. Some people — the majority of whom are men — really don’t know how to start a polite conversation without making it sexual and frankly, gross. It’s such a common occurrence that there’s even a support forum on Reddit for those who are sick and tired of the disgusting personal messages. Here is a handful of the worst, but be warned that some of them contain graphic content.
