I have my Teams status at work permanently set to https://nohello.net/en/. It's not the women who ignore it; it's a certain culture, which includes almost all of our customer support staff. They send me a "hi" and then they are happy to wait for the entire day for an answer they never get.
Even worse than getting a "hi" or "hello" is "?". I don't know where people learned to do that, but I've had more than one person start a conversation in Teams or Slack with "?" and it always makes me think I did something wtf-worthy to just get a "?" out of nowhere. Apparently it's their way of asking if I'm available.
All these people don't seem to understand the advantage of asynchronous text messaging where you can greet and ask a question at the same time.
Women on dating apps are generally constantly bombarded with messages. You have to say something more than hi to stand out. On the other hand, men get relatively few messages, so hi is sufficient to show interest and get the ball rolling

Not gonna lie chief, this seems like a negative stereotype. Men are just as guilty of this.

The thing is not who does it. The thing is who complains about it.

If there were no double standards then we'd have no standards at all

Language was invented for one purpose, boys - to woo women. And I'm that endeavor, laziness is never acceptable.

MODERN WORLD BAD

NEW = GOOD is just as "retarfed" as NEW = BAD
can you you conceive of a world where some new things are good and some new things are bad? dating apps are definitely one of the bad things.
