It's not weman, it's women.
It's not desciption, it's description.
It's not replyed, it's replied.
It's not cant, it's can't.
It's not relook... that's not even a word.
It's not there, it's their.
It's not manly, it's mainly.
Your lack of spelling and grammar indicate you are uneducated. The non-use of the spell-check feature indicates laziness or low knowledge about computers. The defensiveness of this question indicates insecurity. These may be very wrong - but it's the impression you're giving.
Most people in this world form opinions of us long before they know us. This is the impression you've given just now. I can understand why people would answer negatively to whether they'd date you, based solely on your question.

It really depends on what the spelling error is and how many...some I've seen on here the spelling (and grammar) is so horrible you can't even make sense out of the question (or answer) and all the internet abbreviations people use drive me nuts...I think it dumbs down a person. But if it's an honest mistake (like you using there instead of their) it's not big deal.

When the only interaction you have with people is written, what else are they going to use to determine what you are like.
If you don't know how to spell simple words you're either dumb, uneducated, or lazy. If you think its cute to leave out letters on words to make it faster to type or to be hip or whatever young people call it nowadays, you're immature because you care more about "fashion" than about communication.
Don't think that all these people are awful for judging you. Everyone judges. You are judging me by the way I type and what I am saying. And you'll see lots of "thumbs down" added to this note from all the non-spellers who are judging me. That's life. You can object to it, but you can't change it.

On here it's because we have the "check spelling" available to us when submitting quests and answers; people think a person is being downright lazy not to use it. It used to be a pet peeve of mine when people misspelled because spelling always came easy to me. But after marrying a man who is college-trained, a very avid reader and pretty intelligent but cannot spell at all, I came to the conclusion it has to be something in his brain that does not compute when putting letters together to form a word! He uses spell-check on everything now. He's always been embarrassed by his dysfunction in this area of his life! He, too, thought people would think he lacked education and intelligence. And that's what I'm assuming people on here believe and pure laziness not to use spell check.

I make alot of spelling errors. Some because my nails type the wrong letters, and some because I am in a hurry, and others because I cant spell it.
I hate using spell check, and with asking a question we dont have the choice to use Spell check in the body.
people have insulted me for spelling errors and I have seen them insult others as well, so then I read alot of what they write and find they also have errors.
so how does that saying go? people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones?
any one who ever made a spelling error shouldn't correct some one else.
Now to answer your other question, I get a new Internet BF every week, men I never met, never saw, and never exchanged phone numbers. But we say I love you, wish you were here, and so on, then in a week or two it's over and I move on. I LOVE Internet BF's makes us both happy if only for a short period of time. So yes I would be your Internet GF with out ever seeing you. However in real life I would have to see you at some point.

Actually, having seen THIS question, your spelling "errors" look more like intellectual laziness. Or that you simply don't care enough to try to present yourself as an intelligent human being.
In a textual medium, the only bar by which we can measure another person is by how they textually present themselves.
If you textually present yourself as an intellectually lazy slob who doesn't care about how he comes across, then people are going to think you are an intellectually lazy slob who doesn't care about how you come across.
And all the "I'm not getting graded on it!" replies simply reinforce the concept of intellectual laziness and lack of care.

One aspect that we're judged on by our peers is education and intelligence. By using poor grammar and misspelling so many words, you're presenting yourself in a bad light. One spelling error is no big deal. An entire post that's difficult to read because of the grammar and spelling is a problem.

When you're speaking with someone in person you are judged by how well you speak. It shows education or lack thereof and you are automatically lumped into a certain class within their mind. Doesn't matter if it's right or not, that's human nature.
When using the written word, you only have grammatical and typographical mistakes to go by along with word usage.
Take the time from here on out to proof read what you type and people will find it more difficult to ridicule you.

If a guy wrote me a letter calling me a weman I wouldn't have anything to do with him. Besides, its not just one little error, I counted seven errors in your one little paragraph. Whey for why, replyed instead of replied, cant instead of can't, there instead of their.
Honestly, I do think that repeatedly bad spelling says a lot about a person.

Because some of these same people that are to quick to judge, "Only think of number one!"
And don't realize that half the time the SPELL CHECK DOESN'T WORK!!"
Don't worry about it as they no not want they do because
they are too dam busy finding others faults!!
Which in return makes them blind to their own!
Poor judgement call on their behalf, Not yours!
Shame on them for we are equal, no better than you or I ;-)
