Navigating the wilds of social media as a woman has given me front-row seats to the circus of DM sliding attempts. You’d think with all the resources at their fingertips, the effort would improve over time. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.
From the laughably lame to the downright gross, my inbox has seen it all. So, when a Redditor asked women to share the worst lines that have ever slid into their DMs, I knew it was my time to shine—or rather, to share the cringe. This post is a collection of those moments that made me go from “Aww” to “Eww” faster than you can say “block.”
Prepare to dive into the abyss of failed pickup attempts, where creativity goes to die and where respect sometimes feels like a foreign concept. Trust me, these tales are a wild mix of face-palm and hilarity that’ll make you rethink the art of the DM slide.
