I've noticed some members who have been here a long time and post quite regularly in the forums. I'm curious if you also belong to other dating forums and how much time do you dedicate to online dating and friendships.

Mingle is my only site

sometimes I can't stay away

sometimes I'm gone for awhile

depends on how bad the addiction is at any given moment



Or if real life is beckoning!

I've got profiles on three "dating" sites, but this is the only place I bother keeping up with the forums. I think it's a much better layout for keeping track of what I posted making it easy to tell if someone is "talking to me."

I also like the "recent posts" category because it keeps me up with the current discussions. Posting in dead threads gets a guy no where. Then again, I'm kind of a thread killer so, it's hard to tell.

Also, if you've been here long enough, sometimes I see a name of who started a topic and think "Uh-oh, what are they up too now?"

Not everyone here is for dating. This is used as a social site too. Some leave while in a relationship but come back to talk to old friends.

why do you care to know this?

ARE YOU STALKING US???????

As I said..."curious".

Why do you want to know why I want to know?

Yes

I'm not here to date myself. I have a friend who was on this site a couple of years ago and said there was a good forum here. I think she was right.

it seems an odd thing to be curious about. Perhaps you have a hobby?

I've made friends and I like posting in the forums.... not really here for dating so much anymore (although I did recently meet a very cool guy from this site). How much time... uh when I'm already on the computer and multitasking anyway, no set amount of time.

Edit: No other sites... tried a few and they are all interested in telling you who you match with.

Judging from your post count, you have quite a few kills to your credit. Stay out of my topics!

one of those things you goof around with once in a while
it is fun to see how everybody is doing



best not to spend too much time in front of the computer though
too many other interesting things to do out there

i've interacted with a few people on here who i really like a
lot based on their forum postings and i would meet them too if
i were not already married

there ya go. There is the answer. I have been here since 12/07 with over 36,000 posts. This is why I have been here so long and why I have so many posts

everyone masterbates

even Santa? that's a disturbing thought

Okay. If you want the long version...

I've had a couple of people get upset with me when I log on for 5 minutes to answer an email or two and then am too busy to login for a few days after. So obviously, I'm not someone who spends a great deal of time on the site. I noticed the post numbers that some of you have racked up and it made me wonder just how much time some people spend here.

The thought occured to me that once someone's made friends here, there is more reason for them to log on more frequently and the closer you become to friends and the more friends you make, the higher priority this forum becomes to your life.

So in other words..."curious" what people who dedicate much time here would say about it.

My intention was not to offend anyone, but to learn something from those more experienced than myself.

Hummm well I'm on this site, Facebook (within the last month} and a meetup site. I use them all for basically keeping in touch with friends and family and getting to know others.

As far as dating this is the only site I use that for besides just getting out in the public and meeting them...


As far as how much time I'm off and on all during the day..... unless I have plans then at times I may actually skip a day once in a while...........hehehehe

HOE HOE HOE
