What else am I supposed to put in my profile? = Whether you are willing to relocate or want to be where you are.

If I would move I would have a long time ago been in another relationship. But because I have my money invested in something I want to increase the value on, and I spent my time working to increase the value to be, instead of being retired and doing the little things around the house for the woman in the house to make her happy.

For some reason I want to be me, not us in a relationship. I feel that is the biggest problem with men. Over the years I have had a few relationships where we went our seperate ways during the day and just spent the nights together. That has worked for me. But my past partners sooner or later have always been able to climb the corporate later and found much better employment from the rural areas where I have lived so they moved on. I prefer a rural setting, most woman do not. I prefer cows over people, another negative for me.

As I see it, most older people are set in their ways, I know I am. I really don't have a problem with someone using me as a means to start over from their past disaster and get ahead. But sooner or later the drive to get higher up in the corporate world requires one to move. And I don't want to move from my rural setting to some city setting where I can't do what I want to do. I like elbow room. Need a minimum of 200 acres of elbow room for a growing crop of trees.

It's hard enough living with myself, I can't imagine throwing a mate in there.

SuzyQ - there are real people on here. just delete the ones not in your interest. Your profile is good. I seem to have better luck talking to a stranger in the grocery store, or in Best Buy over the DVD selection, but of course, then they walk on about their business. I think you have to BE PATIENT.
Chris, I looked at your profile also, wish you lived close to me. I am a country person, even though I did secretarial in LIncoln most of my work life, and retired from Corrections (prison, not spelling )
Good Luck to both of you...... I am trying to be patient as I give that advice to others.

I just joined today,,,already an attracting 30-40 somethings. I’m old enough to be their mother. I was hoping to find someone near me to get to know the area. I just moved here in February. All I keep getting is people clear across the country. I don’t mind pen pals, but there’s a limit.

Ive been here for a year,but unfortunately i encountered scammer,looking for there profiles it seems they are good,but when you chat with them tried to hooked you ,then thats the time they begin there motives,making you soo sweet they are then the end the turning point is money,where are they still can sleep they hurt people,thats what they like,only few people here were genuine true

but am still hoping for a Guy in a right time

Me too looking for the real one to come along

Are you sure about that..I think people just feel unsecured. .and don't know what they actually want in a partmer.

Hi

Divorced 7 years ago, gave up looking 5 years ago.

Whatever women are looking for, it certainly wasn't me. Adapting to flying solo wasn't so hard. A few that came along, found out that I wasn't going to live by their rules. Those came too quick for my tastes. I decided that I wasn't going to give up my likes and pursuits for a woman in my life.

Yes

I'm not really looking anymore, I found someone (I think).
I come for the forums because...
> there are people here I like to interact with
> I like to type.
> there are valuable social interaction tips

When I was looking, I wasn't actually looking here.
I very seldomly used the search features.
I was mostly in the forums.
It was my profile AND my forum participation that lead the woman I am currently with to be interested in me.

This site is full of scammers and fakes.
I learned that lesson quickly.
Many of the women in my preference range are not local.
I need local due to my health.
I dated more women from DH and POF than here.
The fact that I am with a woman I from M2 is amazing.
I didn't expect it.

I never had any luck here till her.
I also understand why.
Any free dating site is filled with 'potentials' that do not work out.
Don't put too many irons in the fire, it will cause it to go cold.
Same thing with free dating sites.
You will 'miss' way more than you 'hit'.
Its the way of things.

I wish you luck in your quest.

It depends on what kind of people I met on mingle2. Actually, I really want to build a long-term relationship there, but I still haven' t found a suitalbe person so far. If one wants to make a long-term relationship with me and we like each other, I am very glad to see that. If one wants to hookup, I will agree too.

Honestly, I stopped trying to build a good profile.

Instead, I began focusing on the forums. If someone wants to learn more about me, then get to know me through the forums.

Searching profiles is too much of a crap shoot given the number of inactive members, scammers, and spammers.

If more of the active members who were truly searching for someone would just be active in the forums, then Mingle might actually become a dating site again rather than just a place to socialize.
