WHY YOUR SPELLING, GRAMMAR, AND VOCABULARY IS HURTING YOU
I have decided to take a second to address why your use of language may be hurting you in the world of online dating.
  1.  My first shout out is to those of you with wide and expansive vocabularies who probably write excellent research papers.  I personally can appreciate a strict and structured paragraph with verbage I need to verify with Webster.  However, most people don't. While still showing off your intellect, you also need to remember to be personable and friendly. You wouldn't approach someone acting uptight, so try to keep it a little more casual.
  2. My second shout out is to those of you that don't care about your vocabulary.  In fact, you find reading this blog a pain in the ass and wish I would stop being so formal. My guess is that you write your messages like that too, and don't give a shit whether your spelling is right or wrong, or where you should put a comma.  Try taking some more time to make your messages look more like they belong in the English language.  Just because you don't think it's important, the woman of your dreams might. She might pass you up at the first message because she thinks you're too lazy to write her a good one.  If you want someone to take the time and effort to write you a quality message, you have to write one too.
          This one is for you:

     3.  Slang.  "What it do" and any other phrases that I could find in a rap song - should stay there.         
         Period.
