Why do the search parameters always switch back to default? Why once I have set parameters am I still having girls outside of area liking me? And yet I'm still waiting for a local girl to see my profile... I have messaged some but yet to hear back. Do I have do something for them to receive the email? Whys if sooo hard....:grin:

Search is not a filter which restricts anyone from viewing your profile and selecting the "like you" button...it is a tool for finding profiles which meet your search parameters...

your email filters limit those who can send you messages; it also does not block anyone from viewing your profile and clicking the like option...

that's just the way it is...

You have been a member for only two days (Joined Tue 06/02/20). Have some patience.. you need lots of patience actually. No reply means not interested.

anyway, isn't it nice of Mingle2 to have moderated PG-13 rated forums where all members may post for free, even just to whine? lol

Welcome to Mingle2 waving

Hi Rosie. Yeah I get the patience etc, but when you have the "who viewed you" and you see that not one person local to me has taken a look. But yet I have about 18 likes all from girls in other countries. Can you understand my frustration?... I have complimented a couple of girls, nicely. I understand, I'm not everyone's cup of tea but surely a polite reply doesn't hurt.. New to the whole internet dating...

It is much like real life, and YOU have to make first contact in most cases. When a woman does, 98% probability that it's a scammer. I only contact locals. Many of them don't know one thing that is on their profile. (Do you get the pattern?)

We got about ten inches of rain in just over 2 weeks. When chatting with some of the "locals" I mentioned how bad the drought had been for me. A few said, yes, it's really bad out their way, lol! (And of course, their profiles said they were within a close distance to me.)

So be careful. Have no expectations and hope that you run into people who are positive (and real). Don't be in any hurry, take your time and inquire and chat. Maybe something happens, and of course that would be great. If it doesn't, you learned something about humans and the internet.

Only the desperate are scammed.
