Am I being stupid?
Is there something of which I am not aware?!
Can anyone tell me why, when I "Match" on Mingle2, I see the same collection of users every time? I probably see fewer than 40 profiles, and never any new ones! This has been going on for a month or so now.
Thanks for any advice you can give.

At a guess their database doesn't store those we say No / Maybe to... So the matching algorithm doesn't know that we've already said no and so around they come again...Maybe it makes it seem like there are more users?

Also, many scammers re-use photos and names and come back around over and over again.

Thank you!
An interesting thought!
I think *most* of them are genuinely the same people ... I often remember their supposed locations, for example. And yes, scammers do that, as I have noticed.
I do suspect that the algorithm has changed though - my serach parameters are quite specific, and in the past I would occasionally get a message that there were "no more matches". And that has not happened for a long time!
Thanks for your reply though.

Actually i just realised it doesn't seem to save the ones you say Yes too either...

or maybe it does save the Yes /Nos, but they just haven't coded it to account for them...

As far as the Match Game and any issues with that part you would have to contact Support for we do not deal with that area.. If you feel that there is a glitch we ask that you contact Support so they can look at your account and the Match feature to see if they can find something wrong..

Here is the link for support.
