Dude, learn to spell first, *then* try to woo the ladies!

sydneysiders community. New poster. Loves his Australian Idol. (Or not!) Bit of a spammer.

He has a question for the ladies.

I didn't quite get what he was aiming at, but after reading that post (and all the others), I have decided that my requirement in a man (were I to be bothered going to look for one) is the knowledge of spelling, grammar, and punctuation of the English Language and the willingness to use such in communication with me. Especially in a medium where his writing skills are his first and primary point of attraction.

Otherwise, forgetaboutit.

And can I just say that period cramps suck?

Is it time to go home yet?

NaNo goal: 20,000 words by the end of today. Currently 17,000 or thereabouts.

When I was 'trolling' through RSVP - yes, the online dating website - that was my requirements as well. I basically figured out that if a guy couldn't take the time to spell check or press the 'shift' button to make a capital letter on an e-mail, then what kind of attention was he going to give me?

Any man who wrote a first contact e-mail to me like 'hi my name is brett i am a kewl guy wanna meet up sometime' was instantly rejected. (Yup, I did get an e-mail like this once. Scary, really.

Go the NaNo! You will meet your quota. I know you will. And no, it's not time to go home yet. Damn it. Are you working in the city at the moment?

Eastwood. Takes about 45 mins to get home on a good night.

The three Ds: discipline, desire, and that damned muse.

Incidentally, am I the freak, or is he? :D

Yes. I sympathise. It's those days when you wake up in pain, that you really know you're a girl.
