met a nice guy recently. he texted me tonight. all good, but he wrote in his non-abbreviated message 'before it gets to late'. TO late??

i'm not a master of the english language (as the pedant's corner regulars know blush). but to, two and too. its not difficult for a 29 year old surely? grin

would it put you off?

mine are pretty much the same zippi. thought i'm only 5 foot 3 so i can afford to take some of the smaller guys that taller women reject!

i would have to add somebody who is openly rude about the mother of their child (if they have one).

and somebody who re-enacts.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
