Let's do this experiment.

Open your fb messenger RIGHT NOW, and put the number of the unread messages initiated from people of the opposite sex only.

Yalla, go.

And yes, this thread has an agenda later on.


I' ll start:

Zero.

You couldn't pay me $10,000 to put another account of mine on there.

So I mean, the ones you received, the fb would show you the number of the unread messages in a red thing, right? Among this number, how many of them are from the opposite sex?

I always open messages though.

So zero.

WhatsApp seems to be the method of preferred communication these days. I don't even bother friending people on Facebook anymore. I keep it for mostly family.

0 because I read my messages as they arrive.

Only 9/26 of my FB friends are male.

What's the point of this?

Haven't had Facebook since I was fifteen, and never will have it again. I won't sell myself to a fascist like Mr Zuckerberg - in exchange for nothing except having to put up with other people's tedious narcissism.

Zero for me too. I generally read them when I get them. Mostly family, some old work colleagues around the country.

People send ME messages? Like messages of a purely conversational value? Lol

Zero.

Even accounting for messages beyond conversational it'd actually still be zero because I absolutely read those as soon as I'm notified.

Ok.

Also 0.
I only have 1 single male who messages me. If its just an emoji response or a "thanks", ill leave it unread for an hour or so if im busy. If its a proper conversation ill read it asap.

Plus my bro in law's best friend will occasionally send me something funny he finds online once every 6 months.

I was in a large meetup gathering the other day, and this subject came up, we did this little experiment on the spot: all the guys except one had zero, and all women had 5-13 messages (the least had 5).

So I was wondering if this would be the same among aspies.
