I just got a message from a guy on okcupid, and while every other word looks to be spelled correctly, he misspelled 'philosophy'. Twice ( Read more... )

people say weird shit like that all the time on dating websites.
The WORST statements to me are 'I'm a nice guy just looking for a nice girl.' or 'I'd like to meet someone equally comfortable in a dress and high heels and jeans and a t-shirt.' Ugh, get some originality.
He was obviously not a philosophy major, just one of my answers in my profile was philosophical (actually, it's a quote from Reality Bites, but people take it seriously).
However, I do have a degree in philosophy, so I'm not sure if I can let this misspelling pass. A girl's gotta have standards.

'nice enough to have sex with me'

maybe he has a special way of spelling certain words. who knows. instead of saying "love" i use "larf" or "loaf." instead of "fuck" i opt for "fack," "fork," or "feck." maybe he's doing something similar...or not.

I like quirky misspellings. Those are cute. I like quirky people, for that matter.
I'm trying to decide if he's cute enough despite his faux pas.

Tee hee, I thought I was picky! I'm a stickler for spelling too, but I'd let this pass for now. However, the fact that you are a "Phylosophy" major would make this hard to overlook. Sorry, I wasn't much help lol.

Yeah, that's all it is. He'll probably look at my degree and be like, 'Um, they spelled that wrong.'

If that happens, then you MUST kick him to the curb!

Bad spelling is such a turn off. On the other hand, sometimes people just mistype. Like me. I do that a lot. Spelling philosophy wrong twice... I say give him another chance.

Mistyping is fine... I dunno, I probably don't want to date anyone right now- I'm stupid picky lately.

I'd go through with another email or two and see how things go. I am a bigger stickler for using the correct form of to (or too or two).

starshide June 30 2006, 17:40:23 UTC

I'll let you know.
