why not just turn read receipts off
i think most people are smart enough to deduce the actual “read receipt” is not when you actually read the msg but when you decided to respond.

For everybody that keeps saying “you can turn read receipts off”.
What’s the difference between ignoring someone with read receipts on or with them off
They still know you received AND read the message with them off to

No, I had male friends who did this and they got bushed tooI already know this is really regarding women specifically doing this
The problem with y’all is that y’all are too SCARED and PASSIVE to communicate this right at the start to the women out of fear of losing coochie.

Its not always intentional breh. Ive been in the middle of responding to texts and gotten distracted and delayed many times. Usually someone calling me in the middle of responding or even just reading/thinking what to say, and it is easy to wind up in a twenty minute convo and legitimately forgotten all about the text.
Not saying that is always or even often the case with everyone, just saying its not always personal or done with any malice.
And then a lot of folks as u said really do have poor social/communication skills. If someone really aint tryna fukk with u like that usually u can tell by the general energy they put out, and that being the case might as well take em out ur phone anyway. Fukk em(

One thing I will put my foot down on is the boldedYea. Girls have 5-10 people they’ll actually engage with in their phone and that’s between ALL the apps (text, insta, snap, TikTok, etc.,)
I remember sitting next to this girl in college. She was showing me something on her phone before class and this chick had 100 unread texts no lie. Home Screen lit up read like a New York Christmas of unread notifications. I asked why she had so many unread messages she literally giggled and said “They’re not important
I wasso why you got their number then
This gone sound like I’m in my feelings but that’s why if I don’t hear back from a girl I’m feeling in 4 hours after I text I bush.
Don’t be fooled these hoes ain’t busy. You not important enough to respond to and they don’t give af.
Other dude is waiting 2 minutes for a response, you waiting 2 hours. Cut the losses and move on. This aint the damn slot machine
Reconnected with an ex back in '22, and met up a couple of times. Things seemed to be going ok, texting back and forth she'd reply in seconds. Suddenly, she got covid (she dodged it up to that point
.)
Anywho, I'd call and text to check up on her a couple of times in the span of 2 weeks and she seemed ok. Texted her once after that and it was at least 3 or 4 days before she replied. I knew what time it was so I said "cool" and that was that .

Why is this considered acceptable by so many people? This always baffled me
It's like hearing someone talk to you in person, then you just walk away
Taking it a step further, back when people wrote letters to each other. It's like reading a letter someone sent you, and ignoring it. Never sending one back. Just reading it, then throwing it away
Do people who do this see this the same way? Is it lack of emotional maturity? Lack of empathy? One of the many downfalls of the smartphone social media internet era
And to the "I'm too busy I don't have time to be a decent human and acknowledge communication" independent cool alpha humans, if you have time to read it, then you have time to at least say, at some point, that you can't respond at length. Or say you aren't in the mood. Anything. A simple sentence
I'm not talking texts that don't need to be responded to. I'm talking questions asked, serious statements, just shyt texted that makes sense to be replied to
It doesn't affect me like it used to. But it still confuses me. I wrote a research essay in undergrad Psych on a subject adjacent to this. Maybe I was just raised differently than other people
Some people really don't Know how to take a hint
maybe what you said isn't worth replying to
take a hint
Gat damn. Where to even begin.
I have a handful of people that I actually make a point to respond to immediately. Fam. If I have a woman I'm digging.
Most people, I make a point to wait a while to respond. I don't want them to have the expectation that I will respond immediately. Ever.
Face it OP.
Most people have their phones at arm's length 24 hours a day. They check the phone everytime they shyt or sit down to have a snack. We know who's hitting us up and we pick and choose if we feel like being bothered.
Anyone who does this to you is not feeling you like that.
I already know all of this. I'm saying it's disrespectful and a reflection of the regression of the modern day human condition. And this fact seems to not be understood by a large percentage of this population. Evidence is in this thread alone
