As an English major, don't bother messaging me if you can't write out you, are, for, see, or be. I can understand using u, r, 4, c, or b in text message where you are limited in characters. But in a message or email, make the effort to sound like you have at least a minimal education if you want to meet me.
NOT an English major, but it still gives me a bad impression - whenever someone writes like that they come across as borderline illiterate to me - I type everything, even proper punctuation, when I text - even though it takes much longer to type...
Same here...not an English major but a language geek nonetheless and I *hate* that when it's not a matter of saving characters in a text message. It's annoying even in a text but I can understand people not wanting to run over the character limit. I just got a message today with all that crap on it and the guy also couldn't spell for sh!t and I was like "what a LOSER".

Has anyone actually had an okC success??
I've met 2 very nice guys there. Of course, I'm a bit older (40s) and not looking for the love of my life, so results may vary.

I just created a profile at okC and so far it feels like most of the other dating sites I've tried except for the tests and such, that part I kind of like. I've been a member of match.com since 1995 because I got a free lifetime membership (somewhat ironic since I'm still single) back when they were just getting started. And even though I only log on every few years or so; I've managed to have quite a few first dates, a couple of ex-girlfriends and one ex-fiance.
So I guess it's possible to meet people on places like okC, and at least I now know what I'm not looking for in a girlfriend.
EDIT: And my last online message was a "wink".
