Have had a few dates and met a few friends...exchange phone calls, send cards....it's a great place to be in such a cold world, lets you know there are still wonderful people around you

I've only met one in person so far. The only thing bad about him was that he lives too far away.

I have met a lot of decent people and are still meeting them.


But to answer the question as far as dating, yes to that as well.
It has only been a month but it is fun for now

yesyesyesyes!!!

I've met 3 people from here and all have been wonderful people. But I was pretty sure of that before I met them.

My boyfriend and I are celebrating our one year anniversary of living together this weekend, we've been together almost 2 years. I've met several people on this site, only one was someone I didn't care for in person. Many of them were great online buddies and have turned into some of my closest friends!

Oh, and my "laundry" list of requirements was that he had to have a brain and be able to think for himself and someone whose priorities were similar to mine (as far as work/life balance goes).

This is where I met my current bf.

OP,

I wonder what your definition of decent is?

It's literal definition evokes images of good morality and social conscience.

I have a sneaky suspicion that your "Sex more than once in a while" statement is a better indication of what you are looking for than what the topic title implies.

If I were a lady I would definitely go to at least page two of my list of questions for you before considering a phone call or meeting.

Sorry, I call 'em like I see 'em.

And yes, I have met decent men and women here and I have, in fact, had "decent" dates.

Good luck,

Bry

Hmmmmmmmmm

I have met and dated several wonderful people on this site. I have also met wonderful friends on this site. Mingle is a social site and not just a dating site.

I am one of 'those' of which you mention that has a list of 900 PREFERENCES (not conditions) that I am attracted to in a man. Money is NOT -- and has never been one -- of them though.

My list is only 898 items long!

People are attracted to what they are attracted to in life. Isn't the point of online dating to cut through the chase and layout exactly what you are looking for in a potential mate? I am not here to waste my time and I don’t want to waste the time of others.

Some people are more focused on abstract fondness' and others on physical attributes. I HOPE to find someone with a balance of both concrete and spiritual characteristics that suit me.

Just because there is an explicit type of man that attracts me -- does not make full of me. I know myself, what I want, and what makes me happy. That should be a GOOD thing because a person who knows what they like is less likely to play games. The exploration is over and they are grounded enough to have a functional relationship rather than experimenting with a ton of short term relationships.

I don't like repeating the cycle of new relationships because I have 'settled' in on way or another. I am so much better off single until I meet someone that rocks my world in every way. In my eyes, they will have no flaws because their 'flaws' are not flaws to me. They will be MY total package!

Adopt a positive attitude and be patient. You might not EVER meet someone on this site, or anywhere for that matter, with which to share your life.

It's nice to think of having someone to grow old with, but we don't NEED to be with someone.

Anyway, enjoy the experience, dating and life. Get into a zen vibe and have fun! "She" just might drop in your lap when you aren't looking!

nope

yes some great people

A WONDERFUL PERSON I HAVE MET AND STILL DO

I have met 50 something people from this site and another, and most of them are very decent people.

lol

With all due respect, I strongly disagree with your statement.

It doesn't matter what a person looks like -- they deserve to have the perfect person for THEM.

You said, " ... Some imperfect woman wanting THE perfect man? ... "

Since 'looks', and everything else regarding their inner soul is subjective, the imperfections you see in those women may be attractive to another person. The converse is true as well. When you see a woman that takes your breath away, other men might say, "meh ... she is 'imperfect' (using your word).

I don’t understand the logic in saying -- how a person looks should dictate what they deserve in finding a potential mate. I don’t look at a guy that is not my type and judge him for having preferences. I don’t think, “Hmmm, who does he think he is -- having standards! How dare him!” I actually respect him because he cares for himself.

I am extremely far from perfect but I still deserve MY mister right. My mister right will have imperfections but not to me!

I hope the same for you and everyone else here too -- and that is to meet your ‘perfect’ person’.

lol

wow *** man where did that comew from
