    Yeah but sure that happens often enough in real life too. It's just people.

    I meant in real ife. Sorry should have made that clearer.

    YES. I totally agree! I find text speak such a turn off.

    Especially in real life...

    Yeah, I'm the same way.

    I know it's bad, but I sort of automatically think that anyone using text speak isn't exactly all that smart, and I kind of tend to dismiss what they're saying because of it. Not the right thing to do, but I can't help myself. It's pure reaction.

    Also doubt I'd ever waste time on anyone who says "I seen" or "would of" or manages to stuff up any other incredibly, incredibly basic English.

    I sound so elitist. :pac: I'm not, really, I just value language. :(

    Nah its not wrong to dismiss them, if all you can go on is how well/poorly they write well surely your making a decision for you based on the info you have. Makes sense.

    Plus, writing something out properly allows a tone to be set. The only tone you get from a raft of text speak littered posts is one of pure laziness.

    I don't even understand the point of text speak, especially with phones-- it's often more complicated to add a new text speak word to your phone dictionary than to just type the stupid normal word. Predictive text is so simple, why even bother keying in stuff like that?

    It's also a million times harder to read and makes you look like a tween who aspires to be Legally Blonde... that or you let your chihuahua type your texts for you.

    It took a lot longer to write that 'wrongly' than it would have to write it normally.

    Actually, interesting question and one I suspect I know the answer too but sure aren't we all here for a bit of discussion.

    Would you date a boardsie not knowing what he/she looked like or would you try and find out what they looked like first?

    I'd probably try to find out what they looked like first.. not for any superficial reason or anything, it's just I can usually suss out character fairly well by facial appearance paired with previous textual knowledge. I'd rather spot a creep online before I get confronted with one unawares in person, you know? Plus people are prone to dishonesty.

    Facebook tends to be a decent verifier, actually-- you at least know you're getting what's in the pictures is the real person, and you can get a little insight to their personality there, too.

    I'm always a bit wary of people who don't want to show themselves. Never know what they're hiding in that case.

    Hmmm, I'd like to say I wouldn't check out to see what they looked like first, but deep down I know I would.

    I'd have to know what they looked like ... I don't think I'd be comfortable going on a Blind Date - I'll leave that to Stevie Wonder ;)

    I know it sounds shallow, but there'd have to be a physical attraction before I'd agree to go on a date with someone...

    i would need to see a few pictures in natural settings and i would meet them first to verify they were who they said they were before dating them. Again skypes a big help, photos are so deceiving.

    i would get to know a boardsie without knowing what they looked like but if i was to date them i'd need to know.

    Imagine, someone from boards asks you on a date ;

    "Maybe. But first, I'll need several photos of your in natural settings... Could you try out some poses as well? - I'd like a bit of variation!"

    :pac:

    Heh you just posted a pic of herself in the "comeallyouboardsmalesandhaveagander" thread too. I think you are subliminally messaging all the males that read this forum.

    Natural settings? Like? I can't see you finding many of these photos. People tend to put up ones that make them appear attractive. Having some of you in a pub somewhere with your mates, all red cheeked, goofy smiled and bleary eyed isn't what I would expect to find.
