here is a good question, so again I "meet" two more women on line here and both start off with "Hello Handsome." Within three emails on this site suddenly they want to do yahoo chat when there is a perfectly good chat feature here. Even when I say "let's keep it here for a few days," that is the last I hear from them.


So why am I here no Mingle exactly again??? Isn't the features of this site good enough for some of the members???? I am pretty clear I hate talking on the phone and will not give my Phone Number out immediately. After a few days here of getting to know someone I meet here on Mingle a little better is when I feel comfortable to giving my email address and phone number out.

Am I dodging a sucker play or what?

I forgot to mention they seem to NEVER look at my profile before hitting me up...


So am I smelling what the Rock is cooking here?





You just got the People's Eyebrow!

dodged another bullet i'd say,
those who ask to i.m. right off
tend to be scammers anyway,,,

Sounds like desperate scammers to me. I believe you have the right idea.

"So why am I here no Mingle exactly again??? "

What? Interpret that for me.


This is the first post of yours that I have looked at since you posted the pick of those Vietnames fishermen butchering a baby whale shark....(completely tasteless)

You met two chicks...they wanna talk...you don't wanna talk (on the phone or chat)...

The chicks ain't the problem.

You want them to use Morse code, smoke signals, telepathy or maybe a couple of cans with a string to communicate with you?

If a chick here wants to talk to you...what is her option?

This is what I have on my profile:

If you are a SPAMMER, read this:
Don't ask me: 1. "So, what are you looking for on this site?" 2. "Do you have a webcam?" 3. "Let's goto Yahoo."
Because if you ask any of those, I will be having some fun with you. I'll waste your time and make you do and type stuff redundantly. Don't worry though, I'll send you to read my profile first, which of course you won't do.


If they still insist on Yahoo, I fire up the IP sniffer and **** with them. I get them to say where they are, then I play around a bit.

Then I call them on their bs, tell them where they really are and poof!, they're gone. Of course I also report as spam...

I smell a scammer just report them and let Mark check them out first...It is what I do and everyone should do when they want to take you off a site it is due to yahoo will not help you out if they are scammers...At least some sites will check and get rid of the scammers..

I refuse to go off this site regardless their excuse...

It is why I do local only so I can meet them in person...as soon as possible....

I am a bit more proactively counter-provocative.

I say in my profile that I am dirt poor, I want women who have an education, and can talk about Plato, Sophocles or Oregon, my uncle is a traffic light (and therefore works as a traffic cop) and that I have a direct telephone line to the pope. Oh, and that my elections (in Chinese pronounciation) are legendary, inasmuch as they only exist in fantasy land. If they still want to fart around with yahoo and stuff, then they read the next sentence that says I'm dirt short, and that's the final turn of the knife.

I never hear from these girls. In the rare instance that they do write, I know that the author is male, coz he never notices the height challenge. The poor suckers, they were born a male, they'll never think like a female. That's their eventual downfall. Becuase in order to truly please a man, the lover must NOT have any idea how it feels to him.

Heck, this first line of defence did not work out today.

I got a message from some 26-year old, a nudge from her too. She lives in New York, and her profile name includes (intentionally misspelled) 101...luv. I forgot the middle part.

So she said she found my profile interesting, do I want to ... (I forgot what this part was.)

I asked her what she is doing out of jail and not being in an AIDS hospice. I was so very sure she was a prostitute.

The conversation continued in this vein.

I am still reeling. A beautiful person approached me.

Looks like things are looking up.

Honestly, I don't know why the instant chat here on Mingle isn't a requirement for EVERYONE to have. You either check the box yes or no to use, if no, then guess you can't sign up....seems simple to me. I don't usually just give out my Yahoo or Skype ID's right away either. I do have to admit though, without using the IM feature here on Mingle, sending messages back n forth in the "Mail" part gets quite old and frustrating after awhile. Hard to hold a conversation (now, this is just my opinion here) if you're having to write back n forth instead of using the IM where you can type, send, write back 5x's faster than sending "Mail"

I get email's from guys that want to go to yahoo IM after the first email. I don't do it. It's too soon for me. I ask them if they are interested in joining the forums, so we can get to know each other. I haven't met one yet that wants to.

I've had one since I've signed up on here

First of all,the Rock is hot. I can't possibly concentrate on your words while staring at his gorgeousness.

2nd, you should be cautious, I don't see why people can't use the chat feature onhere. Go with your intuition. I usually talk to people for a few weeks before I go all crazy and give out my number and stuff.

3rd, your a handsome guy. I think you should update your profile pic, because I believe you would get a lot more offers. Your pic does not do you justice. All my friends thought you rocked.

I totally agree with this. After seeing that picture, suddenly nothing else in the world mattered anymore.

Your words and all the words that came after suddenly became just random squiggles with no meanings.

I hope that does not sound too weird.




Oh yeah, and spammers suck to.

Just from personal experience, no matter what picture I have, it doesn't matter. Again, from my experience, the pictures don't really do anyone any justice. Hell, my guitar looks better than I do for f*** sake

He's cooking a sausage and I've got the buns! Ooooooh baby!

Yep; you are dealing with scammers. I had an email from one this morning and it made me want to puke. He said he wanted to treat me like a princess and pamper me like a baby? WTF is that crap? Do I look like the type that would buy into that crap?

You strike me as a girl who likes it RUFF! Get the pun! 'Strike me!' RIM-SHOT PLEASE!


What, no standing ovation?

Not too bad on the pun. Once a Tom boy always a Tom boy. he he
