I've been on Mingle for nearly 3 years now... Hands down, It's a great site! I still remember when it was "Just say hi". Anyway... I have seen this site evolve in many different, exciting, and abstract ways. The forums have changed the most lately in my opinion. I'm not saying it's good, or bad... But it's not what I remember. I know, a lot of the people are different, but it seems like not too many have fun on here anymore? To me, it seems like people are "On guard"? Let's have fun!bigsmile Let's talk about anything, and everything, carefree like the good ole days! I wanna hear anything that makes or has made you all happy lately? So everybody... Be a sport! Tell me what's good!waving

I'm not sure what you are saying wraithme ... if you update your profile the first line asks you to specify a country ... and all of them are listed.

This has never been just an American site - it is an international one. I am Canadian - my being here in no way suggests that I am 'targeting Americans'. That would be like me saying that the Americans who write to me are 'targeting Canadians'.

Many of us, especially if we are in smaller centers, have difficulty finding local people. Sometimes it is just a matter of geography.








I'm not talking about you... I count Canada as part of us because we at least share the same continent. When I first signed up for this site... I don't recall any pulldown for country. That's why I was asking. I'm not asking to be a jerk... I was genuinely curious. There's no need to be defensive.



Really? how very generous of you...do you also classify Mexico this way? Personally I love to talk, laugh, debate, with peeps from all over the world its called listening to other view points or expanding your mind...really, you should try it eh flowerforyou

Open mindedness is something you won't find very often. Don't be surprised if the message doesn't get through...





Lol! That was a very closed-minded statement of yourself... Wow! People... Lighten up!

You should read on... Then you'll get the big picture. I wasn't complaining, nor discriminating. I am of many different origins from all over the world. I was simply asking. I find it funny how many people can have a defensive response to an honest genuine question. I wasn't asking for scrutiny... I was just curious? Sorry if I offended anyone... I'm not here to impress anyone. You know... These forums used to be a lot more open-minded, and really fun! I feel like I'm under the eye of judgment. For those of you that responded more logically, or apathetically... Thank you. Sorry to those who felt offended.

My Australian father met his now Texan wife via the internet just like this. So you just can't knock it.If you narrow down your search to "anyone in the world" you may just find your match....



I wasn't knocking it...

you just have to set it up wraith...i very rarely get anything outside the houston area, and i know there is a big dallas crowd on here too.
but the best way to meet ladies is post in the forums, it will double your prospects.


Dude... I know that... All of the women I have actually physically met and dated face to face, I found on mutual match and the forums here. I don't email anymore... Because I never got any responses. I have met and dated about 20 women on just this site alone in the last 3 years.

Wraith - you can set your search parameters to only look within a geographical region.


I know that... I've had most of my luck with mutual match... And it seems the only ones that try to match up with me lately, are from Russia, and Peru, and India. I would rather see more from Texas because that is the parameter I've set in all of my searches.


oh I misunderstood earlier...yes I have the same thing happening.



B.T.W. Just to be fair... I'm French, German, Irish, Dutch, Swedish, Norweigen, and Native American. And The French part of me... Is French Canadian. Most of my 800 plus living relatives live in Ontario, Quebec, Toronto, and British Colombia.

If you go to "edit profile" you will see a drop down for countries. There is a long list of different countries.

The way the site is set up is more geared for the states because this site is based in the states.

Other countries have to adapt the best way they can to the options given. We have city and states here. Other countries may not have city and states.

In other countries it is city and country.

That is why it looks different than those in the states.

This is an international site for all countries. There are those looking for the one just like here. There are scammers in every country but not everyone from one country is a scammer.

The US may be the default since this site is based in California



Thank you Rose... I always wondered... I have a hard time finding anyone on here anymore because it seems the site is clogged up with profiles for people no one in the states could nor would ever meet. I'm more the local type of guy... I'll go for anyone worthwhile I meet within the country... But It seems there are more from other countries taking up all my searches.

This site has always been international. They even let Canadians on bigsmile



Why are the only options for locations Lived in within the states? I constantly see where they put the country where the city should be... Because it always defaults to a UNITED STATE... NOT COUNTRY. There is no option for COUNTRY. I've been on here for almost 3 years now I think? And I've never seen soo many people that don't even live within 1,000 miles from me. Aren't there sites like this in their countries? Or are they targeting Americans? Canada is one thing... I always considered it part of us anyway... Lol! But India? Russia? Africa? What are they really after? You would think they would go for someone that lives in their community... Let alone, COUNTRY.

Oh cource not.. But I bet if I mentioned the word sex I get plety of feed back laugh


You've got this site all wrong... A lot of it has to do with timing in the forums. Anyway... You're on delayed entry, so you have a few different ways to up your rank/paygrade before you ship out. If you've done ROTC... That will up you a rank. If you can get a friend recruited, and signed up... That will up your rank. There is a physical test you can take before hand where if you pass it will up your rank before you even ship out. You could potentially ship out as an E-4. Does that answer your question well enough? Yes you're cute... But I don't care about sex as an incentive.


Don't you have to BE in college to get into the ROTC? Also you have to consider that if you join as an "officer candidate" and you muster in as an officer there is no such thing as retirement. If you plan on a career in the military I say go ahead full steam with ROTC. Also knowing what the military WANTS can help you advance pretty fast too.

Just a friendly word of caution, don't bite off more than you can chew. The higher up the food chain you go the more responsibility you will bear. Command has its issues you will learn in the politics of the military. Meeting Performance Expectations is one of them and when you have several tasks on your plate and a bunch of people not doing their jobs right or not at all, well, motivating them to get it right can be a chore.

Also when you get in and are doing Boot Camp DO NOT SMILE AT THE D.I.. You will get yelled at at length. So many of my friends told me what BC was like for them. For the first two weeks you get yelled at a lot.

Now officer training... That is some fun stuff there! Fashion Sense for the Military... SORT OF but there is also discipline training, etiquette and is way different from boot camp.

Many people I knew over the years prospered in the military so here is to you...




No... I did ROTC in highschool.

Does anybody know if this site was/is meant for the U.S. only? Cause I've been noticing that this site seems to be overrun by soo many other people from so many other countries that seem to be interested in meeting American women? I can't remember if there was an option where it said what country you were from? As far as I knew... The only options on location were only within The United States of America. Most of these foreign profiles I've seen too are scams. Anyway... Is Mingle trying to expand out to the rest of the world? Or has the rest of the world infiltrated, and taken advantage of this free site?

I have dated 10 years younger than me... And up to 15 years older... Age really has nothing to do with it. If you have chemistry, and are pretty even on maturity, It can work.

A little here, and a little there... Usually it's something at complete random that fondly reminds me of something sweet, and genuine from a wonderful past. Then, I remember... It's in the past, and I move on towards the better and somewhat unpredictable yet exciting future.
