I am here just for the forums. I don't even read any emails I receive unless it's someone I recognise. It seems a majority of emails are scammers, so I don't even bother with the emails.

I reply to all messages and I get many even though I set my filters.

I don't like those who get smart concerning my profile.

I f a man doesn't. Like me, why contact me! explode

Hi all, I've been having some difficulty getting responses to messages I send, and am wondering what's wrong, or if this is normal.

I have a vague understanding that possibly there are many more men using online dating than women, and perhaps they are bombarded with messages -- too many to reply to. If you're a woman, is this your experience? Men, do many of your messages go unanswered?

The alternative is of course unpleasant for me to think about, that I'm just totally failing with many of my attempts. My messages are generally about the length of this post I'm writing now, and I usually spend at least an hour thinking of something relevant to say, as related to the person's profile and shared interests.

So there you have it. Do women get too many messages? Am I failing? Something else?

Stats over three weeks: 19 messages sent, 6 replies.

(This is not a complaint post. I am pleased to receive the responses I got.)


Actually the gals like us " font" guys.. it stirs up the imagination.. so drop the mug and " font up"

Haven't you heard them yell out " font me!!"?...no?.. you will.. trust me.

Yes! Many just say hi, how are you! laugh

Many men on mingle2. Know nothing of these Forums.

And they have little patience if a woman does not want to meet up. quickly.

I met some nice Older gentlemen here, but they are too far away and don't travel far to meet any woman.

I request All men meet here first meets.

Some are very interesting and will email for a few days. Many are Real men not fakes.

No worries I am on another date. Site. I have met several in person
Down through the years.

Well, some guys write to me with no picture and have "no answer" on everything. All I know is where they are from and an age, and maybe that is fake.

My filters are for older men and they have photos.

I get dozens of friends request from foreigners , no photos and young.
I have to delete daily and that is getting old.

This site is slow for dating unless you are in a Larger City. Where there are lots of available Men.

at least you dont have the spammers trying to direct you to some porn site, I guess they think men are stupid, certainly most men dont fall for this scam?

I totally agree with the person who says ( a no response is a response ) it could mean the person don`t want you so why waste time

The ones that don’t reply at all either just weren’t feeling your introduction, aren’t attracted, or could be away on vacation or something. If you’re getting a majority of them not replying at all, you may just need to switch up your salutation.

From my experience, about 80-90% of the female profiles that respond are fake.
If you msg her and her first or second reply says anything about moving the convo from Mingle2 to either a gmail account, hangouts account, or she gives up her digits to you before she asks what your name is, it’s a scam. They want a little personal info to try to gain more. You calling her and putting your phone number on the caller id will then make them do a reverse phone lookup.
I assume the email is just to snag your email header to get a good idea of at least what city you reside in.

I don’t blame the site administrators for the scamming problem. They very quickly address any reports of scamming or suspected fake profiles ( same girl’s pic on two different accounts ) and investigate then remove the profile if it’s found to be a fake.

1 in 3 reply and you’re complaining.

What’s your secret.

I never get replies to mine, if only they knew the trouble I’ve gone through to copy and paste so many.

Ive been here for a while and have gotten a bit impatient by those who dont bother to read my profile or who immediately want to skype or whatsapp or hookup, or some other social app on the phone.

I am not one to immediately get intimate and personal and I feel once people have that information, you are stuck with more potential to be harassed. I prefer speaking through messages right here, and few who have written me are interested in that. so now, I just rarely respond to any, unless they seem VERY interesting, or sincere in their interest(beyond physical hookups and what not)


Id say, the observation is probably correct that women will get more messages then men, and can become impatient with 'dead ends' so to speak to the point of not bothering much.

If a guy writes to me, I'll check out his profile. He can see that I looked at his profile. If I don't write back, there could be many reasons. He has nothing there, lives really far, nothing in common, huge age difference, wants me to be a mother, married. There are many reasons to not write back.I'm not sure if I should write if I see those things.

it's truly up to you cat, but distance can be reduced etc. if it's only one thing and other than that you like what you see then sure respond and start a conversation. the worst that can happen is you decide that whatever the no was is not overcome and you go your own ways
