An example why girls don’t tweet
We see more of young guys, or tech people of middle age and very few girls or women into the tech world, and social networks too. And twitter being one of the best status updates sites, where one can keep on sharing something about them, their update etc. anyone can expect same share from girls as boys in it.
But its not the case in twitter, as we see.. Twitter is a place where usually people don’t try to gain load of followers until they are into their blog promotion or any marketing business.
General people or tech savvy students would just keep calm with few friends..
And now here is the example -
Shruti, a student from South India(not sure exactly) who had joined twitter 3 months back had to leave twitter due to some guys who thought she was pretending to be a good girl, just to gain followers. Here is the post and a small excerpt:
Apparently, they thought that my tweets were full of nonsense and I just pretended to be some sweet girl (Thanks so much!) so that I attract more followers and gain popularity.
Now tell me one thing, why would one girl who is a student, and is not into marketing or making money at twitter, would try to attract followers?
Its just because that she gets involved into conversations, she has wrong intentions???
Disclaimer: This is not an attempt to gain some respect from girls in twitter etc. but just my opinions of what happened with a good twitter user.
I started following Shruti a few days before she left twitter, and we replied each other quite a few times, and she did the same with many other people who were all good guys who are my friends too.
I am not totally against guys, but still why do you feel that a girl praising about you casually makes you feel that she is flirting with you? (You can’t just take it as a compliment from a friend and be happy?)
Pretty sad to see things still been unchanged in India, where guys flirt and that’s something near to legal for you and when a girl tries to be good and that’s inturn called flirting.
I do not closely talk to girls anytime(can’t say of any reasons for that, but still i just talk to many girls, just to a limit), and Shruti, Grace, and a few others are people who i chat to, on twitter.. and it was bad to see Shruti leaving twitter on her birthday due to those guys who bashed to her tweets and felt that she is gaining followers(feeling jealous eh?) and is flirting!!!
Still good to see her back on twitter with a new ID. Come on people, have peace and go on with your own work, rather than bothering about someone else who is good and trying to be good with others.

Contrary to what you have said, there ARE many girls/women on Twitter and they are all regular Twitter users. But yeah, its a sad situation out there. The least a girl can ask from a guy is to be decent, and any guy who cant even show some decency is a disgrace to the male community.
Hope this post reaches out to the right people. Thanks Chetan.
“Pretty sad to see things still been unchanged in India, where guys flirt and that’s something near to legal”
I dont think this is the situation now, partly to some extent it is but not completly, there are many people/ girls who just go playing around with boys and when the boy reacts they seek the community and who is at fault . . “The Boy”.
I am not saying about “shruti” but just generally talking about the sentence which chetan mentioned.
No offence Shruthi.
@varun
I am not saying that Girls don’t flirt.. there is not always one side on the upper side. But when girls flirt, they are talked about but if a boy flirts, you know everything is just silent. (Main reason behind this would be the big friend circles of boys who handle most of these kind of situations).
Yeah you are absolutely right . . .
Yep, its sortta rubbish….Shruti shud be a selfish creature n lotta her mattes mentioned tat she s not a girl (may be of her structure or behaviour)….watever may everythin sets 2 be alrite..
