Hey, I've sent mail to 30 ladies over the past 3 weeks - only 4 have even openned the posts!!!! What's up? Any one out there Know?

It takes time. The forums are a better way to get to know and get to be known.

Could be lots of reasons. Like maybe they donlt get on the site much. Metal is right the forums people frequent the most. Good luck.

You maybe right carol. Maybe I need to check when they were last online before I message a lady. And if they haven't been on for the last month - they may not even be active on this site any longer.

Metalwing, you may be accurate - the forums are more active - but are there any ladies within a reasonable distance of me (Olympia)
to actually meet with!!!

Some women do not answer ALL messages, for whatever their reason. I've had some nice messages from Men on here already. However, I usually answer all messages, whether I am interested or not. Just be curtious.

The same, I think this site has very few female members and an overload of male Members.

Sometime the simplest reason is they are just not interested in you, and won't reply. If someone contacts me I will respond even if I don't they meet my requirements, it's only consideratuon.

Oh geesh I don't think that is so

Maybe they can't read. Seriously; who knows why people don't open their posts; they could just be busy. I do answer emails unless they are rude; then I block them and report them.

I didn't get your message.

Hello there to all! Well, this is my first venture into a site, Mingle 2 came recommended. After signing in for first time, here I am to my first chat room.

have you had any success in this room?

i am not sure how to navigate this site, but from 10 minutes going around it, I can see we have to ramp up this 50 and over site here, or it is going nowhere.

I am new here too. but i will tell you this is not a chatroom its a forum..big difference. wish they did have chat then you could hold a real conversation. I joined with the hope of meeting someone to date. i gave up on the relationship part because i work nights and so far that doesnt work with guys. Well welcome to Mingles hope you have fun and make friends.

You know maybe it isn't the ladies. Have you thought of reviewing you profile and revising it or maybe you should think of what you're saying in your mail, are you coming across too pushy? If you're not looking at the ladies interests and what kind of guy the women are seeking can be a loosing battle as well.

This sit started as "Just Say Hi". I came here because I liked that idea. Think I joined in the first 4 months & I NEVER looked as this as a "dating site". I referr to it as a social site when I share it with people. We have never had a "chat room" & I like it that way. The "forums" are catagoryized chat. People expect this site to act like all the rest; I am glad it is different.

We make "FRIENDS" in the forums first, bet to know eachother's styles, likes & personalities. We have great fun teasing, picking on, sharing & learning to CARE FOR OUR FRIENDS; we have made here. Since being here I have made "GOOD FRIENDS" all over the world.

So I would ask that you approach Mingle a little different than most other sites. Pick the topics you like, join in, chat with new people & have fun. We have "problem people" on occassion, but the GREAT mods, soon weed them out. Have a problem, contact a mod direct; they are here to help YOU enjoy the site. Rules are ENFORCED here & I really enjoy that. Want a private chat, use the "INSTANT MESSAGE" feature.

Now just about the "50's. I feel there is a FANTASTIC group of people here. We ARE older, LIKE the older ways; but can get PRETTY CRAZY, once YOU get to know us. Contact any of the regulars via mail, if you need some form of help. We really enjoy meeting new people & there have been groups that have met in different places & we would enjoy you joining us. So far, ladies always out number the guys, these are NOT "hook ups; just a group of friends having fun.

Hope I didn't offend anyone & all of this is the OPINION of the OLD SAGE. HAVE FUN.

Cleaned up double post.
