I will admit that I am here on the message boards is to kill time. If I make friends, that is great.

Just to see how I stack up outside of my town.. and mostly passing time


hello Hawk, nice to meet you... welcome to Mingle, we hope you find your passing time here stacked... or is it stoked... or staked... or stuck... hehehehe... yea, that's it, you're stuck here with us now... cuz we never let our friends escape our webs.. or is it our heads... or maybe our sheds... oopps, getting carried away now... we don't really stake and chain anybody in the shed just to keep them here... laugh

I think to be honest I come on Mingle to burn time more than not. Not saying that's a bad thing, it's just a convenient thing. When I'm not here I don't carry it in my mind unless I'm concerned about someone, and it's not something I feel I need to keep up on. But, it is nice to mingle and not have to leave my place to do it.

I do enjoy the folks here!

In my life I need brain breaks and have found mingle to be a cool way of fulfilling this, when I'm in an inbetween time. I usually only sleep a couple of days a week and when not in Vegas or don't feel like going anywhere and I need that break away from concentrating mingle does the trick. And mingle is like an old friend that you may not talk to in a while but can pick right up again when you do visit.

You usually only sleep a couple days a week, really mg? Granted, I don't know anything about your life other than what little I've read on the boards lately, but I can't imagine a job, or a lifestyle that would limit a person's sleep habits so drastically... that must be very stressful, I would think... anyway, I'm glad you choose to use some of your down time Mingling, becuz I like your profile pic... there's something about his face that keeps me waiting to see it again...

I started posting in these forums when I had a job doing nothing. I was a security guard at a film studio and there was no one in the building but me all night. It was a way to pass the time.

Now, I'm out here driving a truck all over the USA and never get to see my close friends. So, it allows me to fool myself into believing I have a social life.


Aaaawww, scoundrel, that's cool... you get to see the country... okay, so you get to see the country's highways.. :smile: but still... you have to admit it's nice to have your Mingle family here waiting for your company when you return... cuz we miss regular members when they're gone... you know that... BTW... it's good to see you here... flowerforyou


Thanks, but I don't think I'd be missed if I stopped posting. I'm just a little too radical.

c'mon radical... ooops... I mean, Scoundrel... lol... I think I fall into that category too... hehehehe... miss me, hell, at one time they were trying to run me off one site claiming I was just fronting... but I hung in there, and eventually they knew I'm for real... I know I'm a freak... the way I view life and my personal relationships sometimes disturbs people because they can't identify... but that's cool... cuz I don't understand their choices either... but I like to compare our differences and I even learn from theirs, incorporating some things I've picked up into my own experience... after all, I can't grow as a person if I don't keep my mind open...

That's exactly how I feel about it. Sometimes I'll post things hoping someone will change my mind. I sometimes wonder if I'm too cynical about love and relationships.

Through choice I Haven't had a date in ten years.
Its weird because before then I was always in a relationship.

Yesterday, I decided the time was right to be back on the market again.

The main thing for me though is to make friends and have some decent discussions on the forums. If something evolves from that then great.
If it doesnt, then its always cool to make new friends

Okay, is anybody ready to confess why you’re really mingling here on the various forum boards? Are you just bored, and killing time? Are you wanting to improve your writing skills as poets, and looking for ways to get published? Do you just hang out watching what everybody else is doing, thinking about getting involved, but haven’t seen anything you want to dip your toe into yet? You haven’t seen anyone who really grabs your attention and puts that fire in your belly to come out of the shadows and speak? Is it as simple as making online friends, both male and female, just to hang out with? Are you looking for a booty call, and that’s all?

Do you really want to put your all on the table, doing whatever it takes to attract that one person you know is meant for you? If so, do you use the Mingle boards to help you reach as many people as possible, because you never know when or where your paths might intersect? I mean,
if you’re not here to use the free services to search for and catch the eye of whoever you have in the back of your mind as what and who you want to meet and make part of your life, then what are you really doing here mingling?

And if I’ve left anything out, please feel free to tell us why you’re here, and what you’re looking for…

When I come to the forums it is because nothing is really going on in the other side of the site. No e-mail, no responses to e-mails sent, no profile views, nudges, etc. I have found that out of those that I would of really liked to get to know are either no longer on the site (but their profile keeps showing up) or too young for anything that might eventually be more than just an online friendship.

When I am in the forums I am usually bored or cooking. So I log on mostly just to read and see how people are thinking about things. I will post occasionally and get shot down for not thinking/believing/acting like a "typical" male by both the males and females so I tend to not speak as much anymore.

The forums do open you up to a wider range of people to talk to if they feel the same way about you so in that I think it is good. But I am thinking my Mingle days are about to wind up pretty soon.

Scoundrel, once we've been burned, it's hard not to think it won't happen again because we're supposed to be intelligent enough to learn from our mistakes, right? That might work when it comes to book learning and erasing/correcting errors on a paper at school... but when it comes to our feelings and love, we're willing to take chances like we're in Vegas shooting craps.. I know that I'm cynical at my age because of the struggle life has been so far... but I'm not going to lose faith that things will get better. That the right partner for me will come my way and we'll work together from there to make the last legs of our journey here on earth as comfortable as it can be, without all the flash and bling... just simplicity... peace and harmony... I don't want much more than that... and whatever else I need materialistic wise, I'll work to get it myself... unless my new partner wants to help me get it because he wants to make me as happy as I make him...

I don't think I've been burned by anyone but myself. I made my choices and I'm living with the results. Older and wiser. I've stopped looking for the kind of love I dreamed of, the kind my folks had. It's just not going to happen for me. I'll die an old bachelor in my tiny home. That is my plan and I'm comfortable with it. I'm looking forward to it. I've enjoyed my life for the most part and I like not having to measure up to the standards of anyone else. I don't want to be responsible for another person's feelings again. Just give me a comfortable chair, my laptop and access to the web and I'm as happy as a clam.

I like the forum because seeing how people interact with each other gives me more insight of their personalities and behaviors than messaging alone. I won’t learn much about a person from...”so, tell me about yourself”.

Yep; I am the same way and I agree it's hard to measure up to the standards that others demand. I find it way too much work and way too stressful to even bother.

I originally came here looking for a relationship, now I'm mainly here for the forums to kill time, and talk to friends on here, and there's even a few who no longer post on Mingle that I'm still friends with off the site.
