So what's the other option friends?

Someone to talk to?

There is a friend section on bumble that i tried and there are a lot of friendly guys on their i talked to some

Never ever come across a friendly girl conversation

Might be the fact of your question

If a man talks to a girl online he's looking for more than friends unless he's gay or something

You can thank the blues for it, who kept saying that "men and women cannot be friends" BS.

Well because it os mostly that way. After only 3 messages they ask for nudes, want ro know intimate details or just send dirty stuff...

So if 9/10 boys are like that... one can quickly assume so

I do not understand why people do this. I messaged you but I did not ask for nudes or anything like that, and I do not understand what getting one nude from a stranger on the internet is even supposed to achieve.

I'd really like to see those messages where men started asking you for nudes after 3 or more messages, I want to see it to solidify in my mind that this happens to women often.

On here there are actually some guys who are just curious about things that dont feel like they can ask openly and would rather ask a woman privately. On instagram however there are only guys who are interested in sexual exchanges. Since I can't post the examples here check your DMs. I found some English ones. Since I am german most of the guys that text me text me in german.

I know all about instagram. A lot of thirsty men there, honestly. They could just send a decent message, that would increase their chances to get a decent reply.

Because in a majority of cases, if a man messages a woman unprompted, the reason is sex.

Especially if they open with just "hey".

Unfortunately, probably because there are a lot of guys who do that.

I think it happens with girls messaging guys to a point, as well. I had a former friend (not a super close one, but someone I talked to on a daily basis and got along with pretty well) that I hadn't seen in ages, saw him on social media and shot him a message to ask how he was doing, and he blocked me, which was pretty surprising. My best guess is that he was thinking I was hitting on him (which I absolutely was not, just wanted to see how he was doing these days), had a jealous girlfriend who was suspicious of me, or possibly thought I was trying to sell him MLM crap (despite having never been involved in one, but I know people tend to suspect that when hearing from someone after many years), lol.

I message people for platonic reasons sometimes. It's not always about romance.

Maybe because they view themselves as desirable. It's not everyone though. I never think that about guys who message me.
