    ‘You’re not getting good matches because people are illiterate.’ Has to be a new one. Maybe. But also take a look at yourself and your conversation skills. Maybe everyone is illiterate, or maybe that person wasn’t that into you, or maybe you’re not that interesting to talk to, or maybe it should wasn’t a good day for them.

    But nah. It must be everyone is illiterate.

      Yeah there are definitely many, many other reasons for someone giving curt responses. But if they’ve signaled that they’re into you, and still talk that way, I would suspect that they may just be a bad communicator. But yes lol I definitely don’t want to make it sound like the conversation in the OP is about the person being illiterate. Indeed, the OP image clearly reads to me as Chloe just being busy or uninterested, or many other explanations (but not being a spoiled evil bitch as so many commenters here seem desperate to find reasons for)

      ‘You’re not getting good matches because people are illiterate.’

      In this day & age, I’ll believe it. Have you seen the reading instruction recent generations got not too long ago? It was shit based on crackpot pedagogy theory that flat out ignored & resisted decades of scientific research on literacy. The failure was widely reported.

      Nowadays, some students are never taught to read & write, and the school system will push them through with bullshit IEPs instead of correcting the problem & teaching them.

        I’ve got another one: typing on a touch screen is pure industrial strength genital cancer, so of course people do as little of that as they can.
