The grammar police in me cringes when I get grammatically incorrect messages or I read profiles peppered with grammatical and spelling errors. I am really trying not to be an online dating snob...really trying to be open minded....but dang...would spell check hurt a brother?!?!? Can I get a comma with that period?!?! At 40+ you really should know the difference between their, there, and they're. Truly. Men is already plural, no need to add an "s".
Okay, so maybe I am not ready yet. LOL Just some observations about the 40+ year old me in the dating world.
LOL I tried the online dating thing a few months ago and I couldn't do it, largely because of what you just said. I cannot take a man seriously when his profile is peppered with misspellings, bad grammar, and juvenile thoughts. I just can't. Especially at my age. There's no reason for it; hell, you know you misspelled your word because of the red lines. Can you NOT see those red lines?!?! I hated that I felt uppity flat out rejecting guys based on that, but really, if you can't be bothered to write out a coherent clear thought and put in the effort on a silly ass online profile, then I know you won't put in effort in real life, ya'know??
ReplyDeleteLaki! I know right. There is a point in life when we stop overlooking what others may consider "small things". The reality is that at some point, we realize these small things snowball into "deal breakers". I will no longer settle just to say I have someone.
