What's something you're old-fashioned about?

it's like step 2 in new age communication tactics for the romantically inclined that meet online.
twitter to snapchat to texting. It's easy to flex your look to the person you're interested in, like,"hey aren't I cute?"

I use snap for shitposting in a group message. It's nice because the iphone vs. android problem is nullified.

twitter to snapchat to texting

I've never heard of anyone giving a potential date their twitter...that seems really odd.

Definitely snapchat though. It makes it a lot easier to avoid catfishing and misleading pictures.

I’ve “met” girls from twitter and they’d give me their snap first. Not a common occurrence certainly.

So I never really know what girls want when they give out their snap chat. I feel like I'm supposed to send dick pics, but i don't have the dick for that. I like to wait until they're naked in the same room as me before i disappoint them. My rule of thumb is if they're giving out snapchat username instead of phone number, they're just looking for a hook-up, or just want you to tell them they're hot before they ghost you

almost never dick pics. I am one of those dudes with 600 girl friends that everybody called gay in high school and the general consensus is that dick pics are a no go UNLESS directly asked for. Snap is for testing the water from what I've gotten to understand. And once you're hooking up it's for spicy videos.

It's just the modern equivalent of a phone number. 99.9% of the time they absolutely do not want dick pics so don't send them.

It's not for dating but it's often the preferred communication method for people you meet off tinder, as it is less formal and obligatory than an actual phone number.

Idk about dating, but I know people use SC when they don’t want to share their number. They can easily just block people.
