I didn’t know this was a thing until I read this article on Bustle. Apparently, there is subgroup, if you can call it that, of men who, in dating, are called lowercase boys. As the name implies, they use exclusively lowercase letters when texting. Furthermore, there seems to be a perception of aggressive casualness that surrounds such people. They have built an image of nonthreatening flirtiness that, to some, gives off ‘creepy’ vibes but not so much as to offend or be offputting.

There was a time when I had used lowercase in communicating online, but that was all because I was too lazy to capitalize my sentences. Certainly I wouldn’t do it in emails, but it also seemed like a fun and carefree way to text, so I had ventured into it, though I never once had an inkling that it was being used in this way to capture women’s hearts. Of course, now that I’m using an iPhone, capitalization is a default means of texting for me.
Nowadays, in the new generation, I think emojis are the thing. Though I could be wrong. Still, to each their own, and at the end of the day, the way one texts won’t fully capture how they are as a person. As long as they’re honest and open, it shouldn’t matter how they text.
