Then there's some of us that don't have a computer, or web cam. So Skype would do absolutely nothing for us. I access Mingle from mobile, on either my phone or tablet. Whoops If that's a problem, then I really don't have any reason to continue the conversation.

I don't have a webcam either, I would get one if there was anyone I wanted to skype with, but the majority who have asked are for sexual reasons and I wouldn't do that anyway, so I just don't see the point. Plus I don't give personal information out to people I don't know well enough.

My phone isn't smart enough, lacks memory. And my tablet doesn't support Skype.

One of the biggest reasons is that Skype is used by scammers.

If you're on Skype you can't report inappropriate behaviour and you can't report them to the monitoring team.

By the way it gives them access to your e mail address too, think of the implications of that particular situation.


Quite incorrect. Let's unravel all this misinformation.

You can report them to SKYPE as 'Innapropriate'

It does not give them access to your email - use a pseudonym and do not adda telephone number.

You are either a very frightened lady or hiding from something.

No one's ever asked me to Skype, but it would depend, as it does require one to give out personal information.

Much for the same reason I don't trust anyone that asks me to "yahoo message," I would feel leery of Skype. If someone isn't willing to use the message system built into the core of the dating site to bring me to a point of being comfortable with them, then I automatically assume that they are up to no good.

I guess what I'm saying is trust has to be built, and if someone isn't willing to understand that I'm not ready to go that far yet, then they weren't for me.


Exactly and well said. Cripes we all need to use a little common sense no?

Thanks for laying that out. Some people are just so paranoid these days with these types of programs.

was or even how
they found me

i wont use it




That's kinda funny to a computer saavy person in the IT field. There are privacy settings within TOOLS that you SHOULD SET yourself, not just keep the installed settings.

I remember when yahoo and netmeeting first came out with the video conferencing. Whoa what a show! Anybody could see you online. I was trying to set up my mother to video with my brother and her eyes got super huge at one willy that just popped in. rofl


Perfectly right. Sorry folks, but I do not hold with people who hide in the shadows......same really as post here with no pics. How many times have you read "No pic, no speak"? Same applies to skype.

No ladies, why jazz yourself up? Just be yourself. That is one of the benefits of skype! What you see is what you get!

What the hell Pilgrim? Did you get into my mind?
All the excuses are BS. No reason to hide....... You show me your face and I'll show you mine.

People are just so afraid. They think they know computers but they don't. It's all smartphone BS now. If you asked one of them to pull up a word document on a PC................. HUH??????

That is something that is so right.They don't want you to know who they really are or they want to ask you all these thing but don't have a pic up and you ask them to send a pic they will say that you don't like them for who they are.

I'd rather be face to face than Skype. I'm not interested in long distance so there's no reason not to meet them if I'm interested.
