I get that when it comes to smart phones, texting and social media – shorthand can be helpful, and sometimes necessary. But shortening up every word seems as though it would take a lot of work, is difficult to read, and makes you appear uneducated.
“u look to good”
“Thank you.” (Why I bothered, I have no idea..)
“but i really need to get to no u
can u b my good looking friend”
“You also really need to learn how to spell.. No offense.”
“i no mhow to spell i just dont like textn words so i shortn umup”
You will not convince me for one second that it would have taken longer to actually write/type out these words. If he was on a smartphone, which, if “sent from mobile” is any indication.. I am sure auto-correct was attempting to have a hay-day with this nonsense.
“so wats good wit u iam not about to act all proper to tlk to u”
What!? Fellas – you can’t tell a girl that you HAVE to get to “no” her, and then essentially tell her that you’re not going to play by her rules to do so. Not that I ever said that he had to “act all proper” to talk to me, but if he’s going to make my brain hurt to interact with him – No thanks.
…He “doesn’t like to text words“…

Give the poor guy a break, he’s obviously either drunk or mentally challenged. 😉

Are you trying to say I’m only attractive to drunk or mentally challenged individuals?! 😉

That’s an unsafe assumption of cause and effect. Drunk and/or mentally challenged people are attracted to you… that doesn’t mean that you only attract them. Though, they might be the most amusing to write posts about. 😉

Just read and LOL’d my way through your last few posts (I never LOL, by the way. I do laugh out loud but I thought I’d stay current with this post!) There are definitely some weird men out there, gotta love ‘em, just for the entertainment value. I’m completing a post on online dating tomorrow, is it ok if I use one or two, giving credit to you, obviously?

As a recent online dater, I totally agree with what you’re saying about all the stupid abbreviations. It’s not about being picky – it sets the tone for future conversations. If a guy starts with “Hey howz u, wot u up 2″, generally speaking, he is not a witty guy who is capable of conversation!

I acknowledge and accept that there are people who aren’t as literate as I am. I try not to assume that they’re drunk lazy or stupid. They probably don’t have the same background as me, but they might even be nice interesting and attractive.
