Can I do better? I'm getting messages from men who seem to be sending out canned "hey baby" nonsense. Do people even look at a profile before messaging?

Good profile Nancy.

You do know that you can limit who may send you messages? You can do that here http://mingle2.com/inbox/filters

That should help cut down on unwanted attention.

Good luck.

People rarely read profiles.

Your profile is fine.

Set your M2 email restrictions. It helps but isn’t full proof.


Welcome to M2.

Good profile indeed.

As it was said before, limit those who can contact you.

Thank for M2 tip. That should help. And appreciate knowing profile is ok. Maybe somewhere out there is the right man for now.

Your profile is good, you just need to adjust your filters to exclude those outside your age and distance requirements. Welcome to Mingle waving

I'm leaving distance filter off for now. I have come across a few men who are not full of ****, and I'm willing to have friendly chats with them. But I've restricted the youngsters, and married men.
Wish I could restrict men who are looking for marriage. And shirtless profiles. Geez, guys. Put your clothes on.

In just two lines you mention fun twice and sex once with not serious! , you may be giving out the wrong signals ,thousands of guys on here are up for non serious sex and fun
As it is if you lived in my home town although I find you attractive looking and in my age range you would scare me off

Thanks. It's tough to figure out the balance. I was afraid of wrong signals but am open to sex. If I eliminate that would men think that casual means I'm not? Is the sex part what would scare you off?
I do want to be clear about not serious. Not looking to attach myself to anyone so quickly after a long marriage.

That's what I said, but it was ignored so I removed my post.
People will find out their own way I guess.

Yes the sex bit is what would scare me off,it is not as important as it was 20 yrs ago it is something that I would like to develop over time, also all the related possibility of std's.
It has been so long an I don't really know how I would proceed
Good luckhappy

I didn't get to you fast enough and then your comment was gone. You made some points I thought were good. And I made some tweaks. Thanks for your input.
