Tips for a Wildly Successful Life
I had someone correct my grammar once on a blind date, and within the first ten minutes, the date was over. You just don’t correct somebody’s grammar. That’s just not okay. —Reese Witherspoon
In a survey of 1,700 online daters, Kibin (a professional proofreading service) found that 47% think poor grammar is a “major turn-off,” while 35% said that good grammar is “sexy.” Women had stronger opinions about grammar than the men who responded.
A similar survey by Zoosk (an online dating service) found that online daters who mention spelling in their profiles get up to 73% more incoming messages; those who mention grammar get up to 93% more incoming messages. The same study showed that 72% of respondents are turned off by terrible spelling, while 48% of the 9,000 online daters consider bad grammar to be a “deal-breaker.”
Finally, Grammarly (a company that provides an online digital writing tool) reviewed 10,000 online profiles on the dating site Match.com. Both men and women view good grammar as a more important attribute than confidence. Additionally, men with at least two spelling errors on their online profiles are 14% less likely to get a response.
What can we learn from this information? First of all, it seems like all the good website URLs are taken; in order to start a website, you have to invent a new word. Secondly, good grammar increases your odds at love. The numbers don’t lie.
Do you want to woo a celebrity? You might find their grammar standards are higher. According to John Mayer, “Ladies, if you want to know the way to my heart: good spelling and good grammar, good punctuation, capitalize only where you are supposed to capitalize, it’s done.”
The point is, good grammar is a turn on if wielded wisely. You don’t want to come across as a dummy. If you “play dumb” to attract dates, you’ll find yourself relegated to dating jerks and morons. You’re better than that; put your best grammar foot forward and you’re likely to find yourself on third dates with attractive smart people who have savings accounts.
My book, Good Grammar is the Life of the Party: Tips for a Wildly Successful Life, contains an entire section on ways to sharpen your romantic prowess. Don’t thank me now; you can thank me by sending me an invitation to your wedding.
