Online Dating for people who aren't good writers (84)

What do you think? ... and how does it square with the men? I suspect men care less about how women communicate than women care about how men communicate. Maybe I'm wrong. Opinions?

Wouldn't they be better off doing another form of dating? (i.e. whatsapp or similar). Doesn't a place like CS put them at a huge disadvantage? It's a competitive market and photo apart, what initially attracts is what a person communicates in writing.
Doesn't a guy who is good with words have an advantage with women? I'm not talking about b.s.artists, but just well-spoken, articulate (written and verbal) communicators?

Just because, a guy with good Communication skills (or uses articulate words doesn't make him a "good writer". Just sometimes, he is a "smooth talker". Always trying to influence women with his charm, and intellectual behavior persae. Getting a psycholigical motive to persuade a woman to "fall in love" with him. IMO

100% agree with you.
On a question: "wazzupp?"
I would say:" Sun is up" and Good bye.
I'm I wouldn't mind if I hear it from my 13 y.o. nephew, but from grown man....
You don't have to be a writer or a poet just to put few sentences together..
Especially people who don't speak well on their own language, what a turn off..
I started speaking English at 33,and try my best..

I think men who doesn't know how to communicate has less chance with women...However, there are men who are great communicators - and some of them also great manipulators

Very good thread!
Somebody who is orthographically articulate has a huge advantage on a dating site, where their written word is what we see.
Obviously, the actual words the person then uses, and the mood and meaning behind them are of even more importance.
However, I find, if I have trouble working out what the sentence even means in the first place, I lose interest very quickly.
My ex-boyfriend was dyslexic. Yet, in all the time we were together, I never once got a badly written text or email from him. They took longer than normal to receive, but he was intent on writing it correctly, and the text I then received was a beautifully-written piece.
There are a lot of online tools to help people construct a sentence correctly now, and one can spell-check everything. There is really no excuse for a badly written sentence.
Shakespeare or Joyce-standard is not required, just a little care and attention, and no text-speak!
I am definitely attracted by an articulate and witty email...

Doesn't have to be great at writing, to listening and perceive are more important for him as she will doing 75% of the talking and he will be doing 75% of the head nodding.
Unless the guy is amazing at writing, and probably far better than the women he talks to, I suggest the he keeps his messages short, sweet and witty - basically he's catering to people with ADD. All women online have Attention Deficit Disorder.

Excellent point, Nidi...and I totally agree with you. I think that a guy who's good with words, certainly has the advantage online....not so much IRL, where body language, a look in his eyes place a greater role.
For me, text speak from anyone other than a teenager, is a show stopper.

I agree many people can use words in a way that can enhance their online persona but in a verbal confrontation can lack the same skills thinking of the lines put brain in gear before engaging the mouth....As for the text speak or shortened vocabulary leaves me in a dazed confused state trying to work out what was said...whereas in real life they would probably be articulate with words and well spoken...oh back to the drawing board....

A big majority of mail I received on here was along the lines:
how r u wana meat upp
Completely off putting, a 5 year old spells better. I don't mind someone making spelling mistakes, but I do expect an adult to be capable of putting a sentence together.

The attraction with CS is that it is free, and it is worldwide. That widens the odds of being able to find someone.
While writing/grammar is important for some, it is not the 'end all and be all'.
People often make allowances.
I have found that I don't speak other languages well, yet because other people who speak these languages natively are tolerant of my mispronunciations, we still get on.
I think if grammar offend you, then you are missing the other more important things that make up friendships and relationships.
Grammar is just a mean to an end. That end is ultimately to date, to talk and perhaps to enter into a relationship with someone you find.
Online services such as this just make it easier to connect with people on would never meet walking down the street.
I didn't like pubs, clubs, and other places. So this was a good medium to start some friendships and see where they went.
It went well for me, and for others. So really, what part did English grammar play in my relationship with my wife? Zero.
I think that sums it up.

Recently I have met a few people who never went to school and so cant read or write...however they are much more creative and verbally articulate, that they make for some very good company.
These people are the types there should be more off...they are resourceful and robust that they can solve many great problems...where it could have taken ££££ to sort out.

It's like, First Impressions.
I try not to become discouraged or uninterested. Of course when I get an email "Hey baby", that is an automatic turn-of. It's poor manners or etiquette. If someone can't spell or have the best grammar, there could be many reasons why. Besides I'm no mathematician so I certainly hope someone wouldn't judge me over that because if they did, the will have lost someone who is a special person, whether it be a potential friend or partner, so really would be their loss in the end.
You know who is a very articulate communicator and great "listener" here in the forums? MrBenjaminWright. I can tell when I read his posts.
Happy Valentines Day to Benjamin and everyone else!
