Cringey Messages & Pathetic Pick Up Lines From Desperate Softbois

What is a softboi? If you've ever received a flirty unsolicited message from someone who speaks in platitudes, drops backhanded compliments that simultaneously flatter and insult, or talks at length about how "different" they are, then you likely already know. Thanks to @beam_me_up_softboi's archive of weird DMs from pick-up artists, sapiosexuals, and self-proclaimed 'nice guys,' we've amassed a very cringe compilation of receipts that prove how low softbois can go.
