Tbh I would attribute this to someone just having poor literacy. Many people have a surprisingly serious struggle with reading or writing. If you ever have had to listen to an adult read something aloud, when they aren’t someone who does a lot of reading for work? Slow, choppy, awkward, wrong inflection. You can tell they’re literally taking it one word at a time, they aren’t scanning the sentence ahead while reading. They do it word by word, storing each word in their mental RAM, and then discover the meaning of the sentence only at the end by reviewing that buffer. Then they pause as they internalize it and repeat the process. It’s an exquisitely painful thing to watch. A LOT more people read like this than literate people think.
‘You’re not getting good matches because people are illiterate.’ Has to be a new one.
Maybe. But also take a look at yourself and your conversation skills. Maybe everyone is illiterate, or maybe that person wasn’t that into you, or maybe you’re not that interesting to talk to, or maybe it should wasn’t a good day for them.
Yeah there are definitely many, many other reasons for someone giving curt responses. But if they’ve signaled that they’re into you, and still talk that way, I would suspect that they may just be a bad communicator. But yes lol I definitely don’t want to make it sound like the conversation in the OP is about the person being illiterate. Indeed, the OP image clearly reads to me as Chloe just being busy or uninterested, or many other explanations (but not being a spoiled evil bitch as so many commenters here seem desperate to find reasons for)
‘You’re not getting good matches because people are illiterate.’
In this day & age, I’ll believe it.
Have you seen the reading instruction recent generations got not too long ago?
It was shit based on crackpot pedagogy theory that flat out ignored & resisted decades of scientific research on literacy.
The failure was widely reported.
reading out loud is different though, I read pretty fast normally but when I have to read out loud I feel like I have to slow down my reading to match my speaking leading to me skipping/rereading words

But nah. It must be everyone is illiterate.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but over half of American adults can’t read above middle school level.

Nowadays, some students are never taught to read & write, and the school system will push them through with bullshit IEPs instead of correcting the problem & teaching them.
I’ve got another one: typing on a touch screen is pure industrial strength genital cancer, so of course people do as little of that as they can.
No man. Everyone is dumber than these two geniuses bro and that’s why they’re maidenless, can’t you tell?
I mean, it’s good to find that out before you let somebody like that in your life, that comes with all kinds of financial and legal risks.
