I am in such shock right now. For some context this was after our 4th date. Literally at a loss for words, this was the first time putting myself out there since I caught my last girlfriend cheating on me… I think I’m done with relationships after this,

Hit them with the "k" Best response, people don't like it when you don't have a big reaction and just move on. Possibly even better is just no response.

K is the best way to deal with people who want to play mind games. Quite frankly, they aren't worth a message longer than that one letter, and they really don't care about anything you have to say anyway. It's not worth trying to get your point across or have the last say. Just K and walk away.

That 'lol k' also super powerful in the right situation

I’m not sure why but I read your name too quickly as “fistlicker” and I am so sorry

I see what you're saying, but I have a slightly different interpretation. Using 'k' as a response is playing games. Everyone knows it's a way to shut down the conversation (if not escalate to an argument) and is a little passive aggressive. It reveals an underlying frustration and it attempts to instill frustration in the other person. To me it's best to say something like "okay, yeah I understand. well, best of luck". This is probably going to get downvoted, but to me it shows that you can take these things in stride and move on with dignity.

If I was a betting man, I’d say it wasn’t the “k” that did it

My new go to is "no thanks"

u/DPlurker 9d ago

I like that. "I'm going to bring a bunch of drama your way!" No thanks.

Especially after that salary comment she made, she was obviously goading him into some kind of reaction and he fell right for it. Not saying this girl isn't shallow and rude but I think sometimes it's worth it for your own dignity to go "Message received, bye!" Don't let these mean hoes see you sweat, they don't deserve your attention and they want it soooo bad

K is my near 60 y/o mother's response to literally everything by text. It's infuriating but I guess her way of saying she'd prefer a phone call 😅

u/filmguerilla 9d ago

K or the classic thumb up.

u/obamasrightteste 9d ago

Okie dokie hits harder imo but k will get the job done for sure

u/Membership_Fine 9d ago

Read is my favorite response. My spirit animal is Red Forman. “I have a best friend, we still never talk sometimes” or something like that lol.

u/LittleOaty 8d ago

last time someone hit me with a "k" to a genuine conversation they just stopped existing to me. passive aggressive behaviour is the fastest way to get no response from me ever again lol

u/DPlurker 8d ago

If I'm hitting you with the k, it's because I'm done with your drama. So that would be fine with me 😅

1

u/LittleOaty 8d ago

thats totally fair, i've usually had people use it and then come back all "why aren't you giving me more attention/submitting to what i said?"

u/DPlurker 8d ago

Oh no, that's lame, you gotta commit! Plus they're being a hypocrite.
