Him (random dude in morocco, whom I have never spoken to before.) :
"how pretty woman like you still single by the way am muslim too if you want talk and learn lol,i really interested in talk to you ok what is your telephone number"
Me:
"this message is incredibly inappropriate so I highly doubt there is anything I would want to learn from you. Firstly, one ought to greet another muslim appropriately, most would say 'assalam alaikum.' secondly, I clearly state in my profile I am only looking for people living in North America. Thirdly, I do not wish to be objectified and don't give a shit what you think of my appearance. I doubt most hijab-wearing muslim women appreciate being called pretty by complete strangers. 'pretty' is a social construct and nothing to be complimented on-it is not an achievement. it is genetic lottery. Masalama. "
