It Was a long coming, when the number of free contacts was reduced, now it seems that in two days of vysit for one message.
I am not a beauty, and very few real users are, now assuming that scamers simply use nicer profiles/pictures/ descrition, create multiple profiles. I need to contact considerable number of users for a real one to respond. Now mingle was downgraded to coin system meaning that for two days I get one message to send. SO if you cant efectively find a real person to contact as free member can we still call this free dating?

I remember reading an article about the failure of a public transportation system.

Ridership declined. As ridership declined management raised prices and decreased routes. As prices raised and routes decreased ridership declined even more. Management then raised prices again and eliminated more routes. As a result ridership declined even more. This went on until the system shut down completely.

As I see it, Ill be finishing communication with few existing contacts and leave. I dont see user base to be clean enough to pay for this site, ads were OK, but most of UK girls here are actuay scamers from Africa/china, so they are not worth paying for.

How do you know for sure that some scammers are actually from China?

WOLF,WOLF,WOLF, CRY, CRY, .........,

I didn't even know what the coins were for, hihi. I just got a popup today saying I'd gotten another 20.

If you're in the UK you'd best get on a UK dating site.
I'm Dutch, and to find a partner I go for Dutch sites, not international ones where people in my country and area are few and far between.
That's called fishing in the wrong pond and still hoping to get a good catch.
Better fish in the right pond, which for you would be a UK site.

Also, it does help to get on a paid for dating site too. That way you have very few scammers and lame-*****.
Over here sites often have a sale for the first 3 months. Just do a li'l research first so you know the site is actually a match with you. Some sites have an 'assortment' that is not what you are looking for.
In my experience newer dating sites can be great as the members on it are still fresh. Older big sites usually have a lot of 'stale' members. By which I mean those that have been searching for over a decade and still didn't get anywhere. Not the right place to go 'fishing'.

A li'l research goes a long way :)

I am not paying to chat with all these scammer women on here-----BYE

What good is a dating site if you can't contact anyone anymore?

dear lady i dutch to but life abroad.
i have looked at dutch dating site in past. but free dating because i remain dutch
end there is the same **** as here.
for example marktplaats efry woman i right there asked my to speak ad a payed side because marktplaats wasn't save.
so my opinion is that efry dating is fake.
here in Romania are many paid dating site efrything is just business nothing really only free dating here when have luck

It doesn't matter if you're a paying customer or not. I am and all I can say that at least 80% is fake or don't respond, at least that's my experience, so safe you're money.

Lucky I do not have to pay anything. I'm good chatting with the ones I already chat with so it's still free.
the timestamp is off too. all of the world has now San Fransico time in the chats even if we are half a world away..not making any sence to me..

Well, it is helpful. If you get a message at the wee hours of the sender's claimed local time, then this should raise a red flag.

Hi Im macktwo and think this coin lark is the start to make people PAY for sending messages AND ITS SUPOSSED TO BE A FREE SITE who is SCAMMING who

It is a paid site! All the messages I get are auto responses in Russian! Then they say something, then I respond. They don't respond to my response, it is usually a stupid question. Everyone here is fake and not really looking for someone. It is a waste of time like most all dating sites.

I'm curious to know what you mean by auto response, can you show a sample, copying one from your inbox and pasting it here in this thread?

That’s against forum rules.

I don't believe an "auto response" message will reveal any private information.

Not even suppose to post any emails..

Besides if they are auto response emails it is from the sender not the site..
