I’m not really one to “slide into someone’s DM’s” but sometimes I do see women leave their insta handle on hinge and I am tempted to … I just feel like it’s so cringe. I’m pretty straightforward and don’t do small talk on dating apps… so I was thinking about something like
“hey, came across your profile on hinge, my horoscope today said I should do something out of the ordinary & I’d get rewarded, so I’m not one to DM slide…but here it goes.. drinks this week?”

What do you guys think?

I’d expect them to be unresponsive just like they are on the dating apps. Feel like they just have their handles there to boost their follower counts and don’t really have dating intentions.

If you're gonna try just skip to "drinks this week?"

Women usually leave their insta on Hinge because guys will follow them. Some get hundreds of new followers a week this way, I've been told.

Being direct and to the point is the way to go if you do decide to DM... And certainly don't use the horoscope crap - as C1 said, just skip to "drinks this week?"

I really respect PwC for refusing to do layoffs.

All the B4 claim to care about their people, but PwC really walked the talk.

The reason why staff accept lower comp compared to industry is for the added job security, and PwC upheld it's end of the bargain when the chips were down 👍

None of the "Our Profits, Your Losses" mentality from PwC Leadership that is all too common in much of B4

Question for the F🐠 around dating apps. I only like to talk to 1-2 girls at a time. Helps with getting to know the person and avoids getting confused. If you were to match with a guy and he didn’t open the conversation for a month, do you notice that and would you respond if/when he messages you?
