Geez where do I begin?? I was under the impression this is a dating site but I guess I was wrong and wasted my money.
First of all 80% of the woman don't have any info on themselves and just have boring profiles with 1 or no pictures at all?
Secondly my inbox gets flooded with damn nudges, winks and kisses which tells me no one is serious and most of them are kids in their early 20's???
Thirdly when you do get to talk to someone they want an instant serious relationship, I mean what the hell is that all about?

Anyway I've now wasted money on this so called dating site but its more of an adult site if you ask me. I'll keep searching and viewing my messages but if it continues like this I'll just cut my losses and do some research on a decent dating site.

You can set your filters and control who contacts you here..https://mingle2.com/inbox/filters

And remember the old adage "If it looks to good to be true, then it probably is..

Good luck, you can thank me later..

Money? There's no need to pay. As a free member you can browse, send & receive messages etc.
As for the dating site part... since it is a free site, with small perks for a paid membership, and an international site, you will get a lot of scammers.
Also you have to get to know each dating site a bit. You ignore the nudges and winks.
What you can do is set search perimeters, find women you like and message them.

I did hear something the other day that the interests on a profile (the red text) are clickable. I didn't know that, hihi. Maybe someone can tell a bit more about that as maybe that is helpful to search for a potential good match.

And in case you decide to leave, good luck. It's not just finding a match with a person but also a dating site that resonates with you and has the right 'assortment' for you. Makes a lot of difference on each site, that's why I NEVER pay just like that. I first want to see what it's offering.

Thanks for the tip Dino, its been a couple of days and all I've been doing is blocking kids and woman after money. Maybe the the best form of meeting people is the old fashion way, going out to events.

No worries Nice guy, 4 months I been here and all I got is a T-Shirt, just came along for a nosey and enjoyed the comedy in the forums so hung in for the craic, never give up hope though..

You whinge about people on here, yet when they take the time to help you out you totally ignore them?
I guess you got your answer there as to why it ain't working out...

Thanks Sparkling I did appreciate your input too :)

I never got at tshirt

don't get too discouraged, only been a couple of days. Agree best way to meet someone is to continue to go out in your area, just consider this another tool in your search. Best of luck!

Totally agree NICE GUY.................

just a complete waste of effort - if truth be told.

I doubt if there are very many "matches" made on this site !!

Well that's not fair... I've been here for close to 3 years (changed username a little over a year ago)... And I've never got a t-shirt

OT... Welcome Nice Guy, hang in there and it's probably better to stick with the forums. I've been a paid member a couple times here... about the only thing I found beneficial to that is stealth mode and being able to see if someone read your message.

Best of luck to you.

*All those interested in earning a T-Shirt*

Waiting for more to be produced, I guess I'm special..

Maybe Not sending people, whom have never contacted you, rude messages would help!

Messaging me asking what I have to hide,because I don't have a photo is rude and extremely presumptuous of U!

I choose not to have a photo up for many reasons. I am only looking for local friends to meet, and I enjoy participating in the forums. There is no reason for me to have to put up a pic

P.S.
I'm not hiding anything. I get so many messages every day. I really don't need anymore. I am not ugly in anyway. I just choose not to. If I want to send someone I am interested in a pic, then I will.

I didn't ask for your input, so don't give it. It's none of your business!

Here is what the T-shirt looks like:

Yep... That's the one!

Spot on..

Yup why be on a site if you not prepared to give any info on yourself and also not add pictures? You may as well not bother looking for a partner.
