it pains me, but I think it might be a good idea to close my DMs (so that only mutuals can message me) I feel pretty sad about getting to the point where there are more requests for my attention than I have attention to give... although obviously that comes with benefits as well

I feel like you'd get worse DMs than I do, but I'm not sure why I have that knee-jerk thought
-
DMs are an odd bird. I have the same feeling, but to be honest I’d assume for demographic reasons that yours would be largely a garbage fire. I’ve only ever gotten nice ones from mutuals, despite being very political and occasionally picking fights in journalist’s menchies.

-
You mean because I'm a woman? I'm still unsure how much of it is the cultures I travel in being actually egalitarian, and how much of it is my somewhat male-coded affect and mannerisms in conversation... also possible that my irrational self-confidence means I don't notice
-
Like I guess what I'm saying is that I don't perceive myself as having experienced any gender discrimination since my teens, but I have a hard time figuring out exactly why that is
-
That would have been my guess, yes. The combination of being young, female, having a NS4W alt, not making a giant show of being engaged (not that you hide it), traveling in male-centric circles, etc. Id’ve guessed that was a recipe for DMs full of wang shots and “poast feet.”
-
I dunno, I'm basically like "hope a prince kidnaps me lolol" and my inbox is actually pretty damn clean. Although I'm thinking of closing it because I get back to about 5% of people and feel like an utter monster
-
There’s something to that. We’re in the same city & both single, and yet it would never occur to me to make something of that or DM you. Much of that is on my end, but with both of you there’s an additional layer to it. The way you carry yourselves commands a certain respect.

I've never had open DMs either, but I doubt it would make much difference. Nobody really wants to talk to me anyway, and I'm easy to reach by other means.
-
I like talking to you, Matthew!
-
But you're on my list, so I don't need my DMs open for that!
