I used to think I was easy, that I'd fuck any girl. I certainly like a lot of different types.
But there's one thing that really, REALLY puts me off, and that's people who dont understand, and can't be bothered to learn;
1) their, there, they're...we even have autocorrect nowadays. People who can spell are frustrated by autocorrect, but it exists for those people who just can't pick up the correct uses for words from all the times people correct others...it's really not hard to grasp...is it?!!!
Their = they chose their seats
They're = they're going to the cinema (they are)
There = they're over their in their seats
2) just how to spell words...I mean I read on here 'jakusy' for 'jacuzzi'...I mean come on! You know what a 'Jakusy' is but you can't spell it?! Also read recently 'any1 want to bring me bacii?'...what is 'Bacii'? And why would anyone want to bring you some? It's hardly the most attractive proposition, is it? Bring you tobacco so you can smoke, bring you tobacco because you can't afford to buy any but you'd potentially have sex with a guy who brings you tobacco...
Buy a dictionary. Read a newspaper or a book. Any one, it doesn't matter. Just try. Because when I read that you want 'sensule' encounters, it really makes me wonder whether you know what sensual is...
Please, just try. Please. Please. Please.
I sound like an asshole, I know. But I just can't take it any more! |

Your frustration is understandable.On the upside the bad spelling and sometimes the colloquialisms used by a writer on a thread can give you an indication as to the way the person speaks which in turn may or may not be attractive.A girl speaking in the accent of Fred Dibnah (you youngsters can google him)can be a turn on to guys who are interested in steam traction engines and traditional demolition techniques. 
It may be noted from my own writing that I am unsure as to the precise placement of commas,so I have erred on the side of caution in this matter.
Any editing by a professional book or competent print editor is always appreciated.
I am of course extracting the urine,all in jest as it were. |

No he doesn't.
He's not asking for post graduate standard. He's asking for a standard our six year old could quite easily manage. |

I agree OP. I can forgive a slip of a finger type error, but bad spelling puts me right off.
Considering how many times this subject appears, surely it's about time we had a new filter for spelling and grammar ....
And yes, I know some people are dyslexic ( including my son) but if I miss out on a great meet because I'm a bit anal about their/there/they're, so be it.
It's all about personal standards, preferences and the sweeping generalisations we make when choosing who to engage with.  |

As well as the 'their, there, they're', I also hate the people who are 'professional' - but can't spell it! Also the ridiculous spelling of gorgeous as 'gawjus' and naughty as 'nawty'!!! Grrrr  |

The odd typo doesn't bother me, as everyone can make a mistake. But one can soon distinguish the difference between someone who has dyslexia and someone who just has poor literally skills. Dyslexics do tend to spell phonetically, get the tenses mixed up and have poor sentence construction.
What does annoy me, is when people call people with dyslexia lazy (as I spotted in a previous thread). In fact, people who have the condition, are not. They are more likely to work 10 times as hard to produce their work, as they are constantly rechecking their work - taking more time, but still can miss the odd typo. Unis recognise this; thus dyslexic students are entitled to extra time in exams and extensions on course work.
I have first hand experience, on my second degree, but still have typos and get told my work still needs proofreading! So not everyone who makes grammar and spelling mistakes has a poor education. |

What the f*** does bad spelling or punctuation have to do with swinging??? It's unbelievable just how small minded and absolutely shallow some people on this site can be!
Here's some portent information that might hold you guys in good steed for the future...
Not everyone in life has had the privilege of a stable upbringing or surrounding living environment! Therefore not everyone has had equal or adequate education for one reason or another which, in turn, has seriously effected their academic level!
Also you may need to take in a simple fact that certain people may be dyslexic which could also effect spelling or punctuation!!
The one thing that "turns us off" is unbelievable arrogance and people who think they are better than others just because they know where to stick a comma or full stop in a sentence!
Pathetic! |

I have to admit that a nicely composed message from a guy, is far more likely to get my attention that some text-speak.
It indicates he's more likely to be thoughtful and imaginative when out on a date, too.

Some are here to make connections leading to fun .
Some are here just to chat .
Some love to correct grammar .
If other people's incorrect spelling is an issue , it's perfectly fine to say so .
However , since we are on fab for meeting up and having fun , we don't care one bit |

I agree OP it's all about how you present yourself. Surely on here it's good to come across in the best possible light.
Lazy spelling and grammar to me implies laziness which might also be an issue in the bedroom and I'm not interested in that. |

I have to say i would quite possibly be put off by txt speak. "ur gawjus" just doesn't cut it in my book, however I'm not going to discriminate against "your gorgeous"
Obviously everyone is entitled to their own opinion but i find the spelling/grammar police just as much of a turn off as the txt speaking chavs.
Yes lazyness is off putting but some people are just not wired the same. As the saying goes "it takes all sorts to make the world go round"
I don't care if you know how to spell correctly, know how to use full stops or commas correctly. As long as you try you're ok in my book.

We all make judgements about people/profiles. For us the ability to write coherently is important. We want to meet people we'll get on with and can have a good time chatting over drinks. This means that profiles/messages with lots of text speak or very bad spelling and grammar will get ignored. It's not a judgement on their value as a person, we're just not interested in meeting them. |

Why is it that if someone on the forum suggests that grammar or spelling is important to them they are labelled "police" yet if they like BBWs or big cocks they aren't? Fab is about choosing sexual partners and whatever reason anyone has for making that selection is both genuine and up to them. Nothing to do with policing.
And since when has it been acceptable to be aggressively proud about not being able do something that's taught to everyone in primary school? |

Good steed? Stead! (sorry, couldn't resist lol!)
To be fair to the op though, some people write like this because maybe they think they're 'down with the kids' or it's just plain laziness on their part!

Actually you typed 'portent' - the definition of which is:
noun
1.
a sign or warning that a momentous or calamitous event is likely to happen.
Oh i see what you did there hehehe! |
