Eh, if it's one person you decide to DM because they keep popping up or think they are witty or you read enough of their responses that it seems like you would get along.....it could be a good thing and work out. If someone is DMing a bunch of people looking for anyone that bites based on the sole fact they are single ......it's sort of creepy and desperate. Some girls might think it's charming; some won't. In the early days of FB (or even now) it was not uncommon as a woman to get tons of messages from guys that just saw your profile pic and wanted to friend you or date you. I don't think contact like that is very genuine and there's a certain stigma attached to it, even if you have a mutual friend. The conditions have to be right.
When I first joined here, there was a guy that apparently would DM any woman trying to get into any relationship he could. He did DM me and it was really weird and then I got several other DM's from other women warning me about him, lol. He may have been the sweetest guy on Earth (and I think eventually got married or engaged), but he came across as really desperate. And there was a woman here that apparently would stalk men and women trying to get into sexual relationship meetups, lol. I was warned about her too! I guess if you fish too much, you get a reputation and people do talk.
