Have you ever wanted to give advise
| Mon, 10-17-2005 - 12:08pm |
Have you all ever been reading through profiles and wanted to email these guys (haven't looked at women profiles) and help them out with their profiles? Even if they are not your "type"? Does this sound strange, or am I the only one? I feel like email some of these characters and letting them know that there pics or mispelled words need some assistance.... Sorry, probably the wrong thing to do, but I just feel sorry for some of these guys who think their profiles are attractable......

>mispelled words need some assistance
Yes, you should always correct people's spelling. They really appreciate it.

My favorite illiterate profile was the guy who liked "spontinuity" in a woman.
I wondered if that was contagious.... or if you could get any on you.

Yes, indeed, I don't mind pointing out errors of spelling or grammar or word usage. In fact, Kae, you have three in your message! ;)
Of course, I realize that we are just writing quick and casual messages here. When it comes to our precious PROFILE, we (this group of dedicated online daters and romance-seekers)proofread obsessively. At least, I hope we all do. I rarely respond to men who spell badly or who leave in typing errors. I just think they should take more care. And I prefer people who can spell and use English correctly. However, the guy I am seeing now had a short profile with a couple of errors in it. And now he sends me emails with the same sloppy errors! I have offered to help him "clean up his act" online, but he refuses. (I know it sounds strange, but we have not made any exclusivity pact; he still wants to think himself a swinging bachelor, I guess, even though he is not seeing anyone else. Therefore, I go along with the game, and offer to help him put forth a more appealing profile.)
