there is another Kiwi surprised surprised
I will have to bring this to the attention of the other Kiwi...

lol sorry...

i'm offtopic

anyway... like others said... it seems the best way to meet someone on mingle (pretty much the only way that i have ACTUALLY SEEN)is to post in the forums... you get a better idea of people's personalities in here then by skimming a few words on their profile...


good luck!!! flowerforyou

I have to agree with the others that there is nothing wrong with your looks, you, or your profile; except that some may get nervous about the marital status of being seperated.

Thanks, you guys rock! Since you've been nice enough to offer some pointers, can I ask another question? As a man, are you put off by a woman who writes too much? Thing is, I'm a writer by trade, and I was trained to be thorough in the amount of information I give. So when I send a guy a message, I tell him why his profile drew me and then I say more about myself. Maybe I'm babbling too much?

HUGE hugs to you for helping me! flowerforyou drinker drinks


hard to say if you're babblin' to much without seeing the babble. but if it comes to your mind perhaps there's something there. we guys are quite different when it comes to babble. most of us simply like to get to the point. many gals like to lead with a story which i'm sure is what makes you a successful writer but most guys aren't interested in a novel when it comes to talking with a lady. maybe there's a problem with balance so you might try dialing down the babble a bit. but like i say, haven't seen your babblin'.

having said that, i've always replied to messages, the extremely few i get that is. seems the polite thing to do. if you're not getting replies it just might be in your choices in the profiles you find interesting. but i can't imagine that if someone does not have the courtesy to respond to your message that you'd be interested in the person if you ever met anyway. so consider it their loss.
