Exactly! I'm a big reader and I gravitate to guys who read, especially the ones who mention specific favorite books in their profile (though please, no more Da Vinci Code!! I read it too but am not exactly shouting it from the rooftops with pride :) I've noticed a lot of the ones who don't read books will put the newspaper and/or magazines, which is better than nothing. Though I think I did read a profile where the guy's only reading material listed was Playboy. That's great, dude.
Though I think I did read a profile where the guy's only reading material listed was Playboy. ------ That would make me giggle, but turn me off too.
As far as the not reading thing, I think I'd weed the guy out too. I have three overflowing bookshelves of books in my apartment. I just can't see having much in common with a man that didn't read. And actually I would be a bit turned off by those that just read the newspaper and magazines, I find I have more in common with those that read books. And someone having a favorite book is great but I'd prefer it not to be the current hot book.
Probably not, mainly because I'm a fanatical reader.
Plus the incorrectly spelled word. It's like when people say I wore "heals" drives me batty, I am not the best speller I forever screw up tomorrow but when putting out a profile usually you would try and at least have someone read it and give their opinion before putting it out there. That's what I did, wendie wrote mine. LOL

It's not just that he doesn't read, but that he feels that it's a good comment to include in a profile.

The one that's been driving me nuts lately is "prolly".
People - it's PROBABLY.
Argh!
I also hate it when people use numbers in place of letters...such as "gr8", "4you"
