Does "Speaking only for myself here." have another definition I am unaware of?

You are just saying that & speaking for others more than yourself.

So far the only responses I've had from people I have sent messages to are only from people from the forums.

I've done the mutual match thing & sent out a few emails to local singles, but...no response.

I think I've had about maybe 5 profile views so far.

Some people are really very sincere & ego less inherently.I like simplicity.

I do not keep track. I am a forum junkie and like the "regulars". I do not make efforts either where effort on the other end is not practiced.
I agree with the majority of what Lex has said.

I don't have any expectations. I don't pay attention to the number of views. I pretty much ignore friend requests/nudges unless there has been contact beforehand. I respond to most emails, unless they're rude.


Ditto.....

I was going to start a new thread about this,but this seems like the appropriate place to post in. Any suggestions about what to say in first contact e-mails? I never know how to break the ice?

Why do people sign up on a "dating" site with no expectations???


Speaking only for myself here. By expectations I mean I do not "expect" a given result.

A lot of people join up, then throw a fit because no one writes to them or answers them or pays attention to them, then they get butt hurt and leave or toss up a complaining post somewhere. There is a great belief among many that the simple act of being present/male/female/whatever entitles you to a set number of messages/nudges/requests/whatever. And that is simply not the case. I don't expect anyone to do anything here, and do not base my presence here upon it. If people write to me, then so be it, fantabulous! If not, that is fine to.

It is not the end of my world.



Sir,"Only for yourself" or "lot of people"?




It looks like he described what some others do and is saying that's not what he's like, which is why he has no expectations.

Just for the sake of interest I wish to know what kind of & how many responses do you people get on mingle2.

The people who views your profile,who invites you as friend or express their interest in dating,are they usually up to your expectations?


If I put up a boobie picture, I get tons of views and a few emails.

No boobie picture equals no views and no emails.

Read their profiles first. Start with what caught your interest and give them something to respond to.

Also that one guy who wants to know what kind of mice I like to eat. (You sir, are just plain odd)


What a stupid question, the answer is obviously "Any that I catch".

Every month I get a few interested people who say my profile rocks, I get some who ask me incredibly dumb questions, I get a nice share of hate mail for comical reasons. The rest is made up of those whom I am friends with and we banter back and forth.

I do get some nudges, but for the most part ignore them since frankly I find them somewhat rude unless I know you already. I get plenty of views. Some friend requests.

I have no expectations. I find that too limiting and confining.

This is just another way to meet people. Do I think that everyone I chat with is going to want to meet me? No. I just go with whatever happens.

Not having many active locals doesn't make it easy to meet new people here, either. That being said, I have had the chance to spend some time in person with some completely awesome people from this site. Most recently, a good friend a couple weeks ago.

Well, in the guy's defense, your boobies are awesome.
