It was a nice feature, but not worth paying to get it. With all the problems with this site that they don't fix, I do not know why anyone would pay for this...lol When I joined in January, they offered a lifetime membership for around $90 -- about $10 more than for 6 months. With my statistically expected lifetime, that works out to between $8 and $10 per year. Economically, this expense is totally insignificant. For example, my groceries run around $70 a week, which is around $3600 a year -- at least 360 times more than the annual expense for Mingle. Admittedly, the problems that they cause by unnecessary site changes and ill-advised policy changes are not good. IMO, the biggest problem is that they don't listen to their users and, when they do listen, they take forever to make the user-desired changes. To be fair, they did recently make a good change: they stopped blurring profile photos. |

If they have ever posted to the forums, you may find them by Googling, something like this: Mingle2 NAME. I tried looking up myself. It works but only if you follow the suggestion by Google to complete your search criteria. |

Does a green dot mean someone is online or was online? I believe that when you see a green dot, that profile is online. |

The subject title smells of racism. Ideally, the preference should not be based on race, but on personality.

... What a waste of money and fraud Strong words. In fact, since fraud is a criminal act, I'm not sure that fraud is justified. While the current management seems unwilling to improve the site, the site is still usable. |

... I think someone needs to open up a chat room here so people can post profiles of the scammers when they get scammed so other people can see their name and photo I second that idea. Unfortunately, implementing the idea may lead to legal consequences for the owners and administrators, should some innocent party's profile be posted on such a chat room. |

Is it really possible to find true love in dating app? Possible but unlikely. This site has a lot of scammers, so the odds of finding a real person that meshes well with you are low. |

People all over the planet are waking up to the fact that a minority of people have had and still have control over the rest of us. We have been lied to on so many levels, humanities true history, the existence of Alien life, that our government's have had contact for decades. The existence of a secret space program, most of the elites have been abusing our children in the most heinous of ways, the existence of deep underground military bases, the reality of tunnel systems that run all around the planet, the deliberate manipulation of our mainstream media etc... Do you have any evidence to back up your statements? |

The blurring of the photo depends on what type of photo is uploaded. Depending on the software used to blur the photos, jpeg, png, bmt, tiff and others may not be able to be blurred. I read somewhere on this site that, if you look at the profile of a person and that person has significantly more pictures in their profile than you have in yours, the excess is blurred. For example, I have only one picture in my profile and, at most, I can see two pictures on the other profile. BTW, this is a fairly new change. At times, I wonder whether the owners and administrators have the users' interest in mind. Of course, in an ideal world, that's what would be their highest priority. |

Unfortunately, there are a lot of scammers on this site. A few things to look for: 1. They want to take the discussion off Mingle very quickly. 2. They say they love you, well before they know you. 3. They use well-known methods to try to scam you. For example, the latest attempt to scam me used the classic "I have money coming in, but I don't want to pay 40% in fees (or taxes or ...) so why don't you take the payment and pay me the amount less some lower percentage." Of course, if you accept the offer, you are guilty of tax evasion or money laundering or ... Naturally, if you actually get a check, it will bounce sky high. 4. Others ask for money because they have some unexpected expenses or are waiting for some soon-to-arrive money. 5. Others want pictures of you, wholly or partially naked. The probable intent is blackmail. BTW, all of the above has happened to me. Fortunately, I didn't fall for them. To all of you who read this: please contribute more examples of scams. After all, I have been on this site for less than a year, so my experiences probably don't cover more than a small fraction of the scamming methods. I forgot to mention that a warning sign is when several different profiles claim to come from one small town. An example I encountered is that about 10 profiles claimed to be from Almont, Colorado. When I looked up Almont, Colorado, on Google, I found two population counts, 423 and 194. It is extremely unlikely that a significant fraction (between 2.5 and 5 percent, or between 1 in 40 and 1 in 20) of Almont's population a) is female, b) is on Mingle, and c) is in the age range I'm looking for or expressed an interest in me. |

finding a soulmate is hard to find. want to know why There are a number of reasons. I will just list a couple. Humans are complicated creatures, causing a larger number of factors that have to mesh. Soulmates, if they exist for a given individual, are few and far between, particularly in regard to geographic distance. Bottom line: most of us have to settle for a reasonable approximation of a soulmate. |

Let's be honest... women age like milk 1) They get flabbier 2) Things start sagging 3) More wrinkles 4) They have more miles on em 5) They produce less estrogen - giving them a more mannish appearance We all already know this, so we can say that the OP probably has a different agenda All except 5) applies to men, too. Men's version of 5) is that they produce less testosterone. |
