The Art of the DM slide on social media - a thread.
Firstly as per example attached persistence doesnât get you anywhere, if they havenât replied the first time then randomly continuing to do it for six months wonât make a difference
The next thing is that if youâre sliding in to a DM itâs important that you have a picture see examples of stock images you and random stuff.
They wonât reply. Not because they areshallow but because they donât know that you are hiding something like 8 ex lovers under the patio

Next thing is that a DM slide should not be Hey , Hi , Heeyyyy Hello
Thatâs what you say to the person on the bus. Itâs double trouble if like the image you have no picture or conversation skills.

The next thing is to not slide in with something pervy or inappropriate if youâre replying to a thread. Chances are if they are like me they wonât reply to the DM and will reply publicly causing immense shame causing you to delete. Then they will block you
The next thing is donât send a photo as a first message. Twitter blurs the image and Iâm not gonna lie I always assume itâs an inappropriate image so never open them.
In this instance it was a pic of a bunch of roses but the chance of it being opened are 50/50

Next up. If someone has No DMs in their bio then it means donât DM them.
You could try a bit of banter on the time line and then ask them publicly if itâs ok to pop you a DM

Speaking of this. Usually some timeline banter is a good start to a DM slide . If they are receptive and reply to your tweets and engage then the DM reply situation improves dramatically
If you have a genuine interest in someone then clear up your timeline a bit prior to the DM slide. If youâre putting 



to every person on your timeline youâre gonna look either desperate or sleazy. From a womenâs ( many) perspective they will always





Look at your timeline first. And if itâs littered with accounts like BattersyMILF767866 and HORNYteen19 sheâs is going to run a mile. She wonât reply.
Understand this. Womenâs boobs are attached to the upper half of their body. Itâs likely that they will be in the photo. No need to comment on them. They are there because of the location anatomicaly usually.
In the next part of the guide to slide Iâd suggest if you get a reply the next thing should be not getting down and dirty or sexual right away. I donât feel women appreciate three messages in starting innuendo. DMing is different to the timeline itâs a different space
Also know your audience. If the person is on only fans gal or is a sex worker then they expect to be paid for their services. Donât think that Lily earning 3 grand a week is doing that by entertaining horny fellas after 4 pints with no debit card. Itâs a job to them.
If you do progress and things get naughty or nudey then keep those images to yourself, donât show them in group chats or otherwise. Itâs a DM for a reason and if someone wanted their body or kinks out there theyâd do it themselves
And dont make assumptions on how someone looks. Thatâs no reflection on the inside.
And finally give it a little time before asking to exchange whatâs app or numbers. Slow and steady wins the race
And lastly why no penis portrait you ask?
Well Brian hereâs the thing .... itâs like when a cat brings a dead mouse to the back door. I know youâre proud of it but Iâm not touching it
