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.


I am not on any other sites. I briefly (like a few days) tried a couple other free sites, but didn't like them.

I am on and off here all the time. I have gone months without being here and then come back. It just depends on what's going in my life at the time.

Here for the forums and harrassing friends, but not bothering with the dating anymore. I get on as much as I can, but take moods where I'm not in the mood.

My other is a couple of yahoogroups that are active, and Facebook. But that's about it anymore.

For me. This is the only site that I am on. I have tried others. But they were too much of a pain in the ***. I love Mingle2 for the forums. I'm not really looking for anybody to date. I already have a woman that I have met on here 2 years ago. She is moving here in September. :banana: :banana:

This is the only site I'm on. I tried other sites, but they all very well sucked.

I dedicate a lot of time to the right person.

Currently this is the only 'dating' site that I am on. I am in a relationship and deactivated from other dating sites that I was on. When I still had profiles on other sites, I would only go on there to check messages and maybe hold a random conversation by messenger.

I stay on mingle because of friendships I have made and the forums. I pop on randomly when I have time or need a laugh.

Mingle2 is a great way to pass the time as I'm waiting for things to transfer.




I feel so used

This is the only non porn site I hit socially. (there is a really cool full on porn site that really reminds me of Mingle...thier forums are fun!!!!) Got banned for life from my first one. Tried Plenty of Fist but it sucked as much as it blew. Then I found Mingle and after a few month in the corner, I now am an exemplary member that all should emulate.

(I know, I am full of s**t)

# of posts can be decieving. I have seen people post #'s that surpassed mine in a matter of months....then again, I am the quiet and shy type who rarely really has anything to say.

I have accounts on a few other sites, but there's only one other site where I'm active in the forums. It's a small (about 18,000 members) alternative site -- I figure I have a better shot at meeting a prospective dating partner on a non-mainstream site, but most of its members right now are in the UK. The site owner posted a list of the most active forum posters there, as of a few weeks ago, and I was #4.

The other sites I'm on are mainly just for games and quizzes and such.

Because I do most of my writing on the computer, I'm generally back and forth between writing and putzing around on one site or another most of the day....

I post journal entries on another site (there is no forum there). I got plenty of them (about 40) but only a comment here and there..from Russia or France (my luck).

I spend a good amount of time messing around on here and (at the same time) over there. Makes my evening hours go by..it's either watching senseless tv shows that I don't care or come online and write and read stuff.

I'm not here to date myself.


This statement can be interpreted in exactly three hugely different ways, and the only one that you meant it in is the only one that is not funny.

I have a facebook and myspace but they are primarily for people I know in the "real world". But this is the only one classified as a dating site that I use.

Suzanne, sweetheart... there is no real world, much like there is no Santa Claus or No. 7 chanelle.

Not at all what I meant. I assumed that those who have been here a while have connections that make their visits more regular than....well, people like me.

In fact I'm jealous of people who spend a lot of time here, because THEY are probably not die hard workaholics. They say that admitting you have a problem is the first step, right? This site is good for me already, since that's the first time I've typed it out loud.
