Loved up typos could spell dating disaster

People with online dating profiles might end up with more than they bargained for if their typing is not up to scratch.

In the run up to Valentine's Day tomorrow, online dating agency ParentsAlready.com has revealed some of the howlers scribed by innocent profile writers.

Some of the best (or worst) include:

"I'd like to meet a tall man around my age who will put the spank back into my life."

"I'm hoping to find a really nice lady who is honest and thrustworthy."

"Nice kind gentleman seeks great lay for fun times."

"I've been cheated on in the past so the man I'm looking for must be an honest parson, if there are any left."

"Please massage me if you like my profile."

"I'm a true romantic and have joined up in the hope of finding rear love"

According to the agency, it usually corrects the typing howlers to save members' embarrassment. A spokesman said: "We can usually guess what people really mean to say. Meanwhile we remain unable to fulfil the frequent requests for 'fiends' and 'livers'."
