What Does VGL Mean in a Text?
The Growing Glossary of Dating Slang
If you're new to online dating, then I'm afraid there is whole new language with well over 250 terms for you to learn.Particularly since the rise of the iKids, people have been far more open about their sexual preferences and desires, and this has generated a long glossary of new dating terms. Many sexual preferences are still abbreviated on dating sites, presumably with the idea that those who do not understand the term do not need to know it. That thinking does not help newcomers though. Here is the term you're looking for:
VGL means "Very Good Looking."
More Observations...
The abbreviation VGL is typically used in dating profiles, normally as part of a self description posted by a user. However, it can also be used to describe someone else, either as part of the description of someone that a user is hoping to date, or in general text-based chat. It is widely believed that anyone who uses VGL as part of their dating profile and who doesn't post a picture, is probably lying and is not really good looking at all.Image for VGL
When I write VGL, I mean this:

A photo of a "Ridiculously photogenic guy," which was widely circulated online in 2012.

As it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., "Vee Gee El"), VGL is classified as an initialism abbreviation. Initialisms are different to acronyms, which are spoken like words.Example of VGL Used in a Text
