Yes, boomers, the people that have saddled the rest of us with existential crises are pieces of shit

Fine, but self-awareness comes in stages. Learning to recognize that others are scamming them is an easier step than recognizing that they're scummy.

Idk, if it's an explicit thirst trap account that's plugging for OF or something then it's fine to post that since they'll probably appreciate the engagement.

But yeah your right 99% of the time, just like making unsolicited comments to strangers irl is wrong 99% of the time unless it's in a strip club where the women presumably want that kind of attention.

Eh, sorry, but that's a valid instinct and interest. Yep, someone fully realized as a person and with good social surroundings won't likely want that. Plenty of people are unfortunately not.

Now when you're not getting any hints or do have good social surroundings yet go for such a bait, you are not very wise and might not be a good person.

But - sometimes English-speaking Web seems kinda puritan still.

If you are going to answer that last part with observation that such comments are cringe and unlikely to attract another person in a non-puritan setting as well, I am aware of that. Clumsiness exists, stupidity exists, various wounds exist. Have some humanity.
