DEAR ADMIN...

IDEAS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS SITE EVEN BETTER. WHAT'S NUMBER 1 ON YOUR LIST?

1) Put city/state under each photo so we know people better.
2) Once you've said no on a potential match, don't keep bringing them back on the list of possible matches. It's irritating and fruitless.

True!

And,
If one specifies an age group,let that profile be seen by and within that specified age group,not below it...

It's a good suggestion; long overdue
delete those profiles for 'matching' if gone for over 2 or 3 months which may be over 90%....

How about reading the profiles of people? Profiles contain the location of the members.

But what if you're talking to someone here on the forums, just playing games friendly-like (not looking to date them) and you click their profile to see what they're like as a person, or because they made a request in "rate my profile"? And then you can't actually see it because you aren't in the age range they're looking to date?

I think that would be WAY too restrictive. I don't want to date anyone younger than 40, but that doesn't mean I have a problem with people under 40 being able to read my profile.

ANOTHER SUGGESTION, MAYBE...

I've emailed at least 10 people now, who are in my age group and like the same things. So far, none of them has said BOO. How about a kick in the pants, when you get to 10, for cryin' out loud.

At least have the courtesy to say something, "maybe later", "not interested", "in a relationship", "not my type, sorry", something, anything... This is a ghost town, I may just move on.

Have a Box to Check [ ] I'm scared
[ ] I'm too hurt to date
[ ] My wife won't let me date
{ } It's just too early for me
[ ] I'm a bit reclusive
[ ] I don't date men
[ ] I want a clean shaven man/woman
[ ] Don't expect me to answer right away
[ ] Can I think about it?
[ ] Let me close the chapter I'm in first
[ ] Please give me some time, I will get bk2U
[ ] No thanks, I'm good
[ } I'll n'ya pas de mot en ce moment
[ ] I'm busy now but,......
[ ] Sorry, you look just like my EX... :)
[ } I got nothing
[ } I'm interested, hold that thought... :]
[ ] You lost me. You have the wierdest profile

Anyway, you get the idea. Smile and say no, but don't leave us to hang...

Said my piece, movin' on... Good Day To You, someone, anyone>>>...

One thing I might add. I gained a friend. Someone lovely, who is already in a relationship, whom I did not email because of distance, had the good sense to be nice to a newcomer, bless her heart. To the rest of you. It takes two to tango, I hope you find your partner.

I clearly see your point ViaMusica. Let us hope through the magic of Software, Mingle2 can find a way to make everyone happy. Choices, we just want more choices.

Good start that I'd go along with; also include being able to view if our mail gets opened...some sites have that feature...as many of the above, but this site is the one that matters...:smile:

Do something about the time lag. When the servers get busy, Mingle2 is too slow to be much fun.

This feature already exists:
http://mingle2.com/inbox/sent
Right-hand column is 'Read' so if they open
your email it will be checked here.

Add an option to the search feature to omit people who haven't been online for over a month. It's frustrating to pull up profiles for people who aren't currently interested in dating or what ever.
