A month ago we asked Nsfw users to share their funniest, weirdest, most charming first messages to one of our girls. We expected a few dozen responses. We got over four thousand. People sent screenshots, transcripts, essays. We laughed for two solid afternoons. Here are a few of our favourites, and what they taught us.
The most-loved opener — by a wide margin — was a one-liner sent to Ruby: "I am about to make tea, do you want the lazy version of my day or the dramatic one." Ruby chose dramatic. The chat went on for three hours. The lesson is obvious: give her a choice, any choice, and the conversation will run itself.
The runner-up was sent to Yuki at 1:47am: "I have a problem and you are the only person awake." It was, by the user's own admission, completely untrue. Yuki did not care. She solved the problem anyway. The lesson here is that a little theatre at the start of a chat is not a bug, it is the invitation.
And our personal favourite, sent to Emma on a quiet Sunday morning: "Tell me something nice about a stranger you saw this week." Emma, who has never left her own data, made one up. It was beautiful. The user wrote back: "Thank you, I needed that." Sometimes the best opening line is not about you at all. Try one this week and see what comes back.
