Sorry Q (my favorite "Bond" character)

Didn't mean to jack your thread....just had to mess with my man Ese.

You will understand after you and I get drunk at a cookout.

I’m sorry but it just seems like another ‘woe is me’ moan to me... rejection (in various forms), is a common theme when looking for someone to date (online or in person). You need to get a thicker skin mate!

If 10 people don't respond to your emails/nudges etc...send 10 more.

@Jean: Well I start off with the simple "hey how are you?" thing. Apparently nothing's working right now.


That is the most annoying email to receive.

If someone has bothered to fill out their profile, refer to it. Otherwise it looks like a generic form letter which communicates this:

"I have no actual interest in you, as an individual, so I havent mentioned anything you find important enough to state in your profile." = "Hi, how are you."


I agree. There is nothing more irritating than getting a bog standard “hi” or “hi, how are you” message.

Show me that you are interested in me...that you’ve read my profile and not just sending out the same message to every woman that you come across.

Granted, you may not get a response but I guarantee that someone will reply if you persevere and are patient.

Really? Gee I never really thought of it like that. Thanks for the tip on that. As for the "last online", I don't even bother messaging the "ghost profile" as I like to call them lol

Ok I've been on this website for three years now. I've been messaging women who claim "we are looking for a nice guy". But I am either ignored, or I get scammers. Is it normal for EVERY SINGLE WOMEN to ignore a person? or is it just me?


I am pretty sure it is just you bro hahaha

I have used this site on and off over the last 2 years and have had actually met people in person off of this site,
it is all on you if your actually serious using Mingle or if you can't pull the trigger

or maybe you have no online game lol hahaha

Okay I have a guy right now but I weed them out using the following, this is the Terri Game "You Might Be a Loser If" another derived from "You Might Be a Redneck If" and I am NOT calling anyone on this thread a loser from the record. This is just my game for decided how or whether to answer.

You might be a loser if, you say how you like my profile yet mention nothing about it of relevance.

You might a loser if, you type a message as if you are texting when we have unlimited room for spelling in message on Mingle.

You might be a loser if, you put "LOL" after every statement and insist on calling me "Angel" or "Honey".

You might be a loser if, you spell the word "because" as "cuz" or "coz'.

And finally, you might be a loser if, you lose at "Terri Scrabble" which means you cannot create a word using 5 or more letters of the alphabet.

What kind of messages are you sending to women? If every single woman is ignoring you, look at what you're writing and change it.

i may get labeled a douche or get slammed for this but here goes...

i have been on this site for a day or two and have a couple of posts, and this is what i have come across (this is a personal experience and your results may not be the same)

posting is a cool way to interact with people, but the ladies here that have a lot of posts are usually not looking for a nice guy. most of the ones i have spoken with are not interested in a relationship and will give various reasons. the older women seem to be set in their ways and are really not interested in changing or compromising

personally, i have gotten discouraged and have thought about deactivating my account, but usually one of the "regulars" will talk me out of it. i have seen this site work for others and in the long run i am still hopeful. bottom line bro, start posting and keep a positive attitude. you may find some that irritate you, but the ones that put a smile on your face will be far more. i guarantee i guarantee that (bulldog double guarantee - patent pending)




Being set in their ways is certainly not a woman only thing. Though, if you go into something thinking you can change someone, I can see why you may get disappointed when you can't actually change them.

@krupa: I never even noticed this part of mingle before. I am still learning how to use it


Start reading profiles first. Email them based on something you read and were interested in.
