How would the sort of man who doesn’t get responses on OK Cupid reinterpret the classics of romantic poetry and novels?

“if a hotti3 lieks a man & dont ende@vr 2 conceel it OMG he must hit it”

“shl i cmp@r U to a sumrz d@ lol?”

“no i no i shud think wel of myself :-< but that isnt enuff if othrz dont luv me i wud rathr dye then live kthxbye”

“1 day i wr0te hr name up0n tha strand but came tha wavez & washed that sh1t away – wtf”

“yo my l1ps iz 2 b1ush1n p11gr1mz r3@dy st@nd 2 sm00v d@t ruff tuch wit @ t3ndr k1zz”

Of course they’re all charming in person, it’s not fair to judge a man by his spelling and grammar, and why are you so stuck up anyway, and they’d just love to exchange photos with you.
