i don't bother on here or tumblr unless it's a post that seems to call for it. something sounding a bit more "official" i guess.
but i always do elsewhere. most emails, obviously any of my actual writing, pretty much anything other than tumblr or boyah really.
I generally do most of the time. Though I have become a little more lax since I've been stuck on my phone.
I also still don't like using most/a lot of acronyms for this reason.
Sometimes. But I never punctuate my last sentence if it requires a period
My phone automatically starts sentences with capital letters and i have gone back and intentionally made them lowercase on many, many occasions
because fuck you

oh god when i'm texting certain people i have an urge to do this because it makes me seem to formal
i hate when it capitalizes product and company names because really who the fuck gives a fuck whether google is capitalized it makes you look like a shit when you do it
Haha, I usually try to text without shortening things and make sure the right things are capitalised, because otherwise I think it looks horrible. And this may be because of the abysmal way people wrote on nsider and the rest of the internet.

I wasn't aware feyd was known for his lack of attention to grammar. Yaller weird
Also I successfully berated my gfs spelling enough that she fully spells out words now instead of abbreviating. Yay

You are shooting yourself in the foot by expecting to find a woman who is already aware of the entitlement gap and all that. They do exist, but are exceedingly rare.
Women are followers. They follow the trends in society, and they follow powerful men, specifically the men they perceive to be to most influential and powerful ones in their lives.
They cannot help it. It is part of what they are.
Women in general aren't interested in understanding things. Not like men are anyways.
No, women are creatures of emotion. It is however rare that they're interested in understanding even those.
Here is how it is:
Women are interested in feeling. Not understanding. Feeling. As in what they're currently feeling, and the experience of it. Those feelings are fluid and strong, chaotic and prone to instant changes.
Liken them to the ocean.
A stormy ocean isn't conducive to survival and well-being of those who travel on them, but if there is no wind and the ocean is stagnant, the traveler will get nowhere.
In the same way, women need stability, while they at the same time also desire emotional experience.
Women are very good at making chaotic waves in their emotional oceans, but on their own, they are effectively incapable of calming the seas enough for safe travel to be possible.
Thus, they tend to latch themselves onto powerful characters and entities that can provide a fixed reference point and steer them safe from the worst storms of their emotions. It is of course not always the case that the character or entity a woman latches onto is capable of that, and it certainly not the case that it is the intent of the object of the woman's need.
In other words, women are malleable, and if your identity is powerful enough, some (but not all) women will have powerful emotional reactions to your mere presence.
They might hate you or love you, or both at the same time. It doesn't matter. They will challenge you and qualify themselves to you, to gauge if you are strong enough to handle their innate chaotic tendencies. As a rule, the more beautiful a woman, the more chaotic her emotions will be, and thus, the greater a challenge she will pose.
Succeed, and they will want to be with you, and they will adapt their personalities to what they feel you want them to be.
Women are much less fixed in the personalities than men are, and this is the reality of the matter.
Don't expect them to be something they're not. Don't expect them to be rational. Don't expect them to be clear-sighted about themselves, and do not expect them to look beyond their own immediate emotional realities.
Expect them to be emotionally unstable. Expect them to be needy for one thing or the other. Expect them to have issues. Expect them to be shortsighted in most things, and expect them to not be truly interested in things that aren't directly related to their own immediate emotional realities.
Become a master at being a man. Become the strongest version of yourself (thx Elliot Hulse), and women suited to your needs and desires will start responding to the identity you convey. Then they will fall into your orbit and take their lead from you.
Addendum: It starts out with small things. You might love Salsa, which a girl might hate, but when she falls into your orbit, she is very likely to reconsider. First, she might start liking it because you like it, and then, as you give her emotional experiences from dancing Salsa, she'll start loving it because of how you make her feel when you're dancing.
Eventually, her whole perspective of reality may reflect yours.
