Loool my guess is to draw attention of a like minded person into their inbox to have a chat about their status and then see where it can lead to OP

It does come across a little pretentious at times. It’s their profile so who am I to criticise, I’m just intrigued by the reason for doing it??

I wonder if the opposite is true for men. My status is blank atm. Perhaps if I spit my dummy out and have a public tantrum.... Who knows. My inbox might fill up with pictures of inboxes.

We get a lot of attention for our status updates. They usually (loosely) match a pic we post…it’s part of our profile and we (sometimes) use it to good effect.

Not sure whether some people don’t like it, or think it’s pretentious…our butler doesn’t let us know about those type of messages, so a bit oblivious
