The Art of the DM slide on social media - a thread.
Firstly as per example attached persistence doesn’t get you anywhere, if they haven’t replied the first time then randomly continuing to do it for six months won’t make a difference
The next thing is that if you’re sliding in to a DM it’s important that you have a picture see examples of stock images you and random stuff.

They won’t reply. Not because they areshallow but because they don’t 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
That’s what you say to the person on the bus. It’s 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 you’re replying to a thread. Chances are if they are like me they won’t reply to the DM and will reply publicly causing immense shame causing you to delete. Then they will block you
The next thing is don’t send a photo as a first message. Twitter blurs the image and I’m not gonna lie I always assume it’s 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 don’t DM them.
You could try a bit of banter on the time line and then ask them publicly if it’s 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 you’re putting â€ïžđŸ„°đŸ˜đŸ’“đŸ‘„ to every person on your timeline you’re gonna look either desperate or sleazy. From a women’s ( many) perspective they will always
Look at your timeline first. And if it’s littered with accounts like BattersyMILF767866 and HORNYteen19 she’s is going to run a mile. She won’t reply.
Understand this. Women’s boobs are attached to the upper half of their body. It’s 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 I’d suggest if you get a reply the next thing should be not getting down and dirty or sexual right away. I don’t feel women appreciate three messages in starting innuendo. DMing is different to the timeline it’s 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. Don’t think that Lily earning 3 grand a week is doing that by entertaining horny fellas after 4 pints with no debit card. It’s a job to them.
If you do progress and things get naughty or nudey then keep those images to yourself, don’t show them in group chats or otherwise. It’s a DM for a reason and if someone wanted their body or kinks out there they’d do it themselves
And dont make assumptions on how someone looks. That’s no reflection on the inside.
And finally give it a little time before asking to exchange what’s app or numbers. Slow and steady wins the race
And lastly why no penis portrait you ask?

Well Brian here’s the thing .... it’s like when a cat brings a dead mouse to the back door. I know you’re proud of it but I’m not touching it
