While I agree "how was your day" is sort of lazy, it's just an attempt at saying *'I'm kind of free to chat and I was thinking about you'*. The degree to which 'how was your day' is boring is correlated with how much the other person likes you.

Most women wouldn't complain about how boring Henry Cavill was if he texted them 'how was your day?' In fact, they'd probably respond to his question with 5 back-to-back texts discussing everything they did, and then end it by asking him about his day. :)

This is so true lol.

In fact all Henry has to do is accidentally type a random letter like “h”. And that’s a conversation starter when you’re beautiful like Henry.
