All they find out is who I went to high school with. And maybe when my birthday is. I could care less.


Haha, me too. But I do agree with Myka said, perhaps my friends don't really want strangers reading their stuff. Plus I don't have my real birthdate listed on anything. My "real" friends know my birthday and as weird as it is, we all have the same birthday mostly, I find I get along with people who share my birthday, funny on mingle the people I chatted with the most turns out we all had the same birthday as well unknowingly, lol. Same date and month different years.

While it is understandable to take some time to get to know the person well through regular chat, messages, email, sms etc, it'd still boil down to how you define ur Facebook page. If it is totally private, then the best way out could be to create another OPEN profile that contains only the BASICS about you! That way you get to know the person much more and if you're satisfied they're for REAL, you UPGRADE them to your PRIVATE FB Circle!


No way. I'm not going to spend time on a second facebook page just to please strangers.

If they pay the $20 entrance fee then sure. How long they stay as a friend is up to them, but the twenty is non refundable.

To me it's not just about what info they may be able to find out about me... all my friends and family share on my FB too.


And they might find out you're addicted to Farmville.

My FB is only for family, friends and only a few online people. There is just too much drama that I don't want to expose people I care about to. I wouldn't accept a friend request from someone I don't really know, especially if their objective is to check up on me.

I say who cares, it's a good way to see who they are and you can block them at anytime. Facebook and mingle are no different in my opinion. Unless you are some really fake person on here and you are hiding your true identiy.


I agree with this.

I have lots of Mingle forum friends on my Facebook. If something goes wrong you can just delete them.

I think any online community is essentially the same. I personally love social situations and that is part of why I enjoy the forums here. I belong to other online communities as well, not to find a date but to meet new people. I have met a lot of people. One of my closest friends is a woman I met on Sisterwoman,com We actually do get together in real life although our friendship started online. It has been about 6 years now. She is on my face book.


Answer this, are you more inclined to add a person of the same sex to your Facebook than the opposite sex? I know many of you minglers have added each other on Facebook. Are they same sex friends only?

Very small number of odd people do exist and they do take advantage of you when you least suspect them of evil. Been there and experienced once. Now I am still open minded... but open up easily. =b Perhaps I don't learn from my $60,000.00 and a permanent scar experience. I just wish you all luck and practice some caution. =)

All in all, enjoy what we have! =)

I'm new so I have not added anyone yet.
