If you followed a hot girl yesterday I have really bad news for you.

This is the real picture. âŹ‡ïž So if you only followed for that reason go ahead and unfollow now.

But I did learn a lot from my less than 24 hours with a girl Avi.

A Thread.
So the first thing that happened was the picture got more likes than any picture I’ve ever posted. Mostly guys, and lots of dudes I’ve never met.

The second thing that happened was I got really ridiculous replies. Partially from my friends that wanted to fuck with me.
But mainly the replies were like ♄ or đŸ”„ and from people who I had never interacted with. Then I had some other tweets and those got strange replies to. “Lol” “haha”. Replies that just did not add anything to the tweet. What’s the point of that?
I also got a couple DMs. No dick pics luckily, but I did get a scammer with a sob story and a godundme link. I imagine women are targeted more frequently for scams. Basically I learned that women put up with so much more crap than men do.
What I got was so mild, but I’m also a fairly small account and that’s just from one selfie. I can’t imagine how much unwanted, and inappropriate attention people must get for showing any more than that, or posting regularly.
Mainly...we just have to do better. Women shouldn’t have to be warriors to be here. They should be able to use this app and other social media without a constant barrage of harassment. You might think you aren’t harassing someone by dropping a ♄ on their selfie.
But if you are a stranger, and you haven’t taken the time to get to know someone, taken the time to interact with them, and in addition to that it’s just one of many, â™„ïžđŸ’đŸ”„đŸ† on there, the barrage is enough to drive anyone away. So just do better. Treat people better.
Women of Twitter you are warriors and I have a new appreciation for how much garbage you have to wade through just to use this app.

And to anyone who feels like I fooled or misled you, I’m sorry and it wasn’t my intention. But ask yourself:
If you followed me just because I had a pretty face in my avi, are you contributing to the problem?
You can follow @erichwithach.
