Men, I’ve got bad news for you: women are judging your direct message game hard. They’re showing their friends all of your messages. They even have their friends sitting around them, watching your exchanges live, analyzing everything you say and helping the woman you’re talking to formulate her response. Women, I’ve got news for you: stop that sh*t. Some poor guys don’t even stand a chance in the online/dating app game because they just aren’t good at cyber banter. But if you think about it, you probably know a lot of guys—good, sociable, normal, likable guys—who actually wouldn’t be very good at direct messages, either. Some personalities just don’t translate into direct message. And you wouldn’t want them to! So, unless a guy says something blatantly mean, rude, or creepy, we shouldn’t be so judgmental. Here are reasons you shouldn’t judge a guy for his direct message skills.

The witty DMers can be too much in IRL
The DMers who always have a funny store to tell, meme to send, or witty comment to make can be too much in real life. Think about it: if they talk as much as they DM, then they are always on aka never shut up.
