As the topic implies, I wonder: is it even possible to use a site like this to actually find a real, breathing "person" on the other side whom isn't a) nothing at all like their profile, &/or b) actually a REAL person.
These sites all claim to be free but, when you delve in, are nothing but.

I'd love to actually have a community of people to engage with; and maybe there is one herein, which is why I wanted to post. Come to the forums.
Been on here for a few weeks &, really, have to force myself to log back in every few days.

Hmm...

It is possible... hang out in the forums more and you will see! Welcome!

Dude....hate to break this to you....but even if you meet a chick in a bar, she can portray herself as something she isn't. It's just easier on sites like Mingle. However, the forums here are cool and the ladies here will drive you wild. No really....I have thoughts about some of them every night....like this one time....one of them dressed as Missus Claus and gave Santa (Me) a nice present. But I've said to much. Enjoy!

Good deal; decent, honest replies pretty quick-like.
Goofball73 (nice handle, btw) I totally get ya; being a bartender, I see the same night-in, night-out.

Glad I got into posting... now, where to go from here? ... =)

Jingle Bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way...

lmao

Well a late welcome.. And yes it is possible to use this site to meet real live breathing people.
I have met some wonderful people out here.
I am in a LDR.. and well I know for a fact he is a living and breathing man that I think is pretty awesome [granted I could be a wee bit bias] so
I believe this site is as good as you choose to make it..

I personally love the forums...

Technically, no.

At least for "a)"

As people are much bigger and more complex than their profiles.

A persons profile isn't an ingredient list like on the side of a box of cereal listing everything inside.

At best a profile should be a means to start a conversation.
Not determine a personality.

Unfortunately, you are going to come across a loooooooooooot of people who are going to believe your profile is what completely defines you, too.


There are a ton of dating sites out there.
Why not just do a rotation.
With Mondays for Mingle or something.

Community's cool for the most part....if you ignore the "carolers."

Follow your own advice, admirer.

1/2 tank of gas: $26
Movie tickets for 2: $20
Dinner for two at a restaurant with flatware: $45
Tip for the waitress to appear fair and respectful of a woman in food service without looking like you intend on giving her a different type of tip later: $12

Total: $103
Then she never calls you back because her friend Becky introduced her to some totally hot guy she saw on instagram.

Talking to as many robot chicks wherever in the world you want them to be from: FREE

Both leave you sleeping alone.

Do you have Becky's number?

it's not gonna happen unless you make it happen....

Seriously though, don't waste you time going site to site, it's pretty much the same just with a different name. know there are SOME real people here, I can't say you will or won't find the one just be prepared to wait. Just like the Army, dammit.........

I have met a few nice real women from in here... Maybe its your style!!!..
I had to get known in here first and the good ones are worth the effort...
It takes time they don't have any idea who you are op..

Come on man
.

Zippy, you have a new GF now?

Yes I do as a matter of fact... Thanks for asking....

And I'm feeling it although I have met other nice women in here..

It's entirely possible, to use this site for it's intended purpose. Chatting with, and meeting people.

I've boned... errr... met, a number of women from the site.
