So far my experience here is good. So obviously a big thank goes to the Mingle2 team. But didn't found my date so far. Waiting for that day eagerly. That will be a call for a toast

It's not letting me see my matches, that is very unfair...

I'm frustrated with this site. I am looking for a liberal guy and none of my potential matches discusses their political views. Also, I have limited my search to one area and I get replies from everywhere, including out side the country.

Mingle
A place to explore ideas. Laugh at absurdity. Be entertained in the games section. Make friends

People who are pushy.
Overall not a bad place

I for one think the match feature should be removed. It makes things easier for the scam artists and spammers. Whilst it also discourages actually making a genuine effort to break the ice. I get many notifications that I've matches waiting yet rarely is my profile viewed. Which tells me that they're too shy to be suited to me or only interested in looks and not concerned with what I might have written in my profile.

That is not true... you are able to see your matches. What you cannot see are the members who said yes to your profile and you can either pay to upgrade OR be proactive and do the Mutual Match yourself.

Other sites are not even giving you the option to check out profiles without paying. One site that I had encountered, sells a list of profiles that you can browse. Here on Mingle2, all members can check out all profiles for free.

Also, Mingle2 allows you to send and receive message for free, unless a member sets limits on who can contact them. On other sites, if you are not a paying member, you cannot send messages.

On Mingle2, we have the forums to get to know fellow members and make friends. I don't know other sites with free moderated active forums.

I'd say, get rid of the feature that says that a member has added you as "a favorite". A favorite what? It seems like that they have a hundred others that are more interesting and may get back to you if those others don't work out. If you were a favorite, they would write to you.

Agreed. I received one of those notifications this evening. The person had never messaged me before and still hasn't. When I viewed their profile it said they worked in hospitality. You'd think they'd know that saying hello is a tried and tested method of starting to get to know someone. As I've said already in regard to the match feature, it should be removed. It's demeaning and doesn't encourage people to make a real effort.

I have favorites, because I liked something they wrote, or I like their photo,,,,it lets them know I like something about them

that's all


they can decide to act upon that knowledge or not

its about an inner feeling which reverbrate in your mind that one of the stranger you come across makes you feel good....and you carry on with the chat with one you found...

One could choose to see as such but being observed without polite interaction is akin to stalking or harassment. Surely the correct and sensible course of action should be to interact with the person with whom you'd wish to add as a friend within the environment of the threads or send an icebreaker message by inbox. A request to be a friend from someone you don't have any knowledge of can come across as quite creepy, don't you think?

Pros --- I am here

Cons --- People don't always understand my sarcasm
