Damned if you do
Damned if you don't.
Gweneth Bateman had a problem that many girls and women experience online. If a boy messaged her with a compliment – on Twitter, Tinder, or elsewhere – and she didn’t reply, they’d criticise her for not replying.
The 18-year-old said most of the boys who criticised her felt they were owed a response and that she should be grateful for the compliment.
So she decided to run an experiment she’d seen on Tumblr: If a boy messaged her with a compliment, she would reply with a warmer, nicer answer, agreeing with and accepting the comment
