Women look for Text Appeal


Hoping to make a good impression on the new woman in your life? Well the answer is in the power of your fingertips according to the Daily Mail.

Apparently 90% of girls prefer text messages to phone calls when first getting to know a potential date, according to a survey by the directory inquiry service 118 118. From experience I can agree that a text message is much less formal and there is less pressure to make that first good impression, but where is the romance in it?

The Daily Mail is calling it ‘Text Appeal’ but for many women it might be a turn off as men appear to not be making the effort…after all if they can't make the effort at the start of a relationship, when will they?

William Ostrom of 118118 said: “Paying attention to texting is important for single men because women place so much importance on it, almost viewing dating texts as a snapshot of a man's personality.” I’m not so convinced…
