"It's not just you. And do you also find that couples are as bad as, or worse than, single guys?"
Actually yeah couples are worse, which is odd cos theres two people who might be able to put together a sentence lol |

Yes I've had those sort of messages too. Even worse are the ones where sentences run into each other with no commas or question marks in the relevant places, so you don't know if they're asking you a question or telling you something. It can make reading even a short message a bit of a headache.    |

Now I'm no English teacher and I can handle spelling errors and grammar issues but surely most people who have had a basic education, can manage a sentence lol???   "
Oh I just ignore and delete - that usually expends about the same amount of energy as they did typing a desultory message like that. So all is equal!  |

Maybe they spend too much time talking to each other and don't have the energy for emails. |

"I've had them too I just delete them straight away lol I atleast want a hello first not fancy a Shag lol xx "
 I do too but look at the profile first!
Saying that, in one instance, I made first contact and although the first 3 or 4 responses were 1 or 2 words, I stuck with him ; my patience was rewarded. He is a very busy guy that has limited access to his own phone during daytime. |

I'm a english snob 
I hate text speak , I can't understand why people miss out vowels , I can't understand why someone would type this BBE or this BBZ ??
Its all too confusing for this old school woman who likes all the letters in the right place and spelt the right way  |

I am busy too - but I wait until I have time to write a decent message or I explain that I have just a few seconds. |

i guess people do it out of 'hope' a bit like winning the lottery. they know they havent got much of a chance so they do it in the offchance that they 'might' get a reply.
its no use spending a whilst composing a nice message only to be rejected with obnoxious one-liner replys like 'sorry not interested'. |

I'm not a snob but I am put off by adult males who type as if they are 15. |

True and so do I.
Sometimes I just feel like being kind and giving a little leeway to see where its going! |

most people see it as a shag not a marriage proposal. people are short of time and a lot of people arent here to shag at all but to boost their ego and make themselves feel good. so they put on a stunning profile and feel good about themselves when they get lots of replys. its tacky, really.
some people lie on their profiles or 'dont know what they want' and arent proper swingers. its probably better to write a short message than waste your precious time writing a long one. |

Every time I do that I end up disappointed so I am pretty ruthless now. If they then send me a decent message later and I can see a face I like then I will chat. Otherwise I simply do not have the time usually. |

Some of us who do try and write a sentence and even a paragraph or two may be rare, certainly looks that way on the rare emails I get in my inbox.
Can be frustrating when you have tried to read the profile and try to be unique in every email and so few replies, but then when you look like Blakey from On The Buses like me I guess you don't get many takers

The last bit of our profile asks people not to send one liner messages. Guess what we get several times a week? So in all probability, the eejits that can't write in sentences can't read either! |

also some people can not use a computer very well and have very big finger and cant press the keys easily. Thats an accessibility issue. You cant patronise people because their messages are brief. There are dyslexic people and those who didnt go to school.
I would expect a more understanding response from an english teacher. Sorry. |

Fair point but no ones asking for war and peace. Just a properly formed sentence which wouldn't take up much more time than some of the drivel people send. I'm personally much more likely to reply to someone who can form a proper sentence than one of the 'how's u?' brigade who just make me hit delete straight away. |

I can understand if people have certain issues that prevent them typing, but its not an excuse for those that just just short replies. Its very weird...I had one the other day, i just gave up replying because i had to do all the asking! |

Without wishing to turn this in to a spelling/grammar thread, I think it s a useful indicator of standards and helps me to out types I wouldn't choose to meet. Up my own arse ? Yeah that's me !! |

Every single time someone comments about poor messaging someone else mentions dyslexia. According to what is said on these forums I reckon more than 50% of the population suffer from it.
I have worked with dyslexics for 20 years and can assure you that they are more than capable of stringing a sentence together. Believe me - many are high-achievers. So to say that people who cannot write are dyslexics also is saying that dyslexics cannot write and that is bloody insulting to people who genuinely DO have dyslexia!
I have chatted to and met guys off here with dyslexia - and they were quite capable of sending decent messages. |

Mainly women who do this to me. Think you'll jump on it if you get a "Hi" then after that if I reply conversation is very tough and laboured and I just think 'why should I make all the effort?'
It's not very sexy... |

In our experience it's usually single guys that send those types of messages. I'm fully aware that others might get them from couples too, but we haven't.
We find that people with very brief profiles tend to send very brief messages.

Single guys always get tar'd with the brush that we apparently say, 'hi fancy a fuck'!
I certainly do not! A plain, well written mail to people that I want to communicate with, it is though a shame that I do get replies of less than standard level of school leaving ability!
I do though also get mails from guys that think that I am seeking them, although my status says bi curious, it is more to do with couples mf than a single man.
Guess some people can not read, let alone write |

I have a very brief profile - I thought it might help some of the numpties see what I am looking for quicker and for them to leave me alone.
However, if someone interests me enough to contact, I will send a decent message, and likewise will reply politely and in depth usually. I'm sure some of my message recipients put the kettle on, make a cuppa and get a comfy seat before reading some of my epics |

I was agreeing with you. And also pointing out that it is a point of view a lot of people tend not to like to hear. |
