I know what ya mean. There hasn't been as many people around. Good luck with the local thing. I live in Kentucky. I'm not trying to be picky or anything. I mean how hard should it be to find a woman that still has most of her toofers........

Humm I guess it all depends on how much effort one puts into things of what they get out of it....... 
Myself I'm here for the forums ...... 
What gets me are the e-mails I get where they go off how compatiable we are yet they never read my profile to find out that if they don't live within the area they are barking up the wrong tree... Or the e-mails just say hi hope your having a good day.......humm if ya send a e-mail and it is just statements no questions you most likely want get and e-mail back duhhh... Or if ya start off with ohh baby I think we would get along great...shshsh what I want to send back is humm one I'm not your baby and two I have a name and the reason you don't know it is cause we want get along....
All I can say is if your not getting e-mails back then one should re think what they are sending to someone in e-mail..
My favorites are the ones where they say "I read your profile and I really loved it! Where are you and what do you do?" Uh, that's IN my profile. If you had actually read it, you wouldn't be asking. Lately I'm getting a lot of one-word messages: "Hi" or "hello," with nothing else. Nothing much to work with. Lex if they read you whole profile they would never message you. I am still reading it 
I still get messages saying they read my profile and that they think we would be perfect together. Yet is states that I am happily married and am just looking for friends now.

Too many people do the interview style conversation. Somehow, they don't realize that having an actual conversation will let them learn things about the other person. They don't have to fire off tons of questions one right after the other. And if they don't give me something to actually respond to, I stop responding as well. |

For me...this place is about Mingling with cool cats and dolls from all over the place.
If I want to hang out with someone local....I follow these simple steps.... Stand up....walk away from the computer...put on some clean clothes...get in my car....go to where actual people are and strike up a conversation. A lot of work...I know....but, it is effective. Think about it....would you actually want to hook up with someone in your own hometown who won't even step away from thier computer to hangout? I wouldn't and don't. This place just takes some patience but, I swear it works. Lots of us get together and hang ot to cookout and laugh and drink. Just takes some effort. Best of luck Brother. |

Hi everyone!
I agree to get out locally, but I don't care for the bar scenes. If I go out to eat and am alone, it is not much fun. I always sit up at the bar so I can chat when possible. This is my first day here, so I hope there are locals in my area of Daytona Beach Florida to meet. Out pictures on the profiles should have the cities and states we are currently located in to make it easier to pick out the locals..

Welcome Sunshine! Hope this place treats you good darlin. Bar scenes ain't for everyone. I myself prefer art exhibitions or going and hearing a band play actual rock and roll. (though, I got no proble with hitting a bar occasionally)
Just bear in mind...you probably ain't gonna have anyone within 20 miles but, alot of kids here ain't afraid to travel for a meet and greet. |

Traveling for an afternoon barbeque would be fun, during the daylight if I am driving to a city I am not familiar with even 60 miles away, would be fun. I have a couple local places, one has a sports bar and pool tables, I can have wings and a cold brew...relax.
Have you met anyone from your area from this site yet? |

Sunshine Baby...I met the woman of my dreams on this site. Is she local?...I live in the middle of Texas...She lives n the coast of Oregon. Love don't give a damned about miles. I fly out there every chance I get and am trying to move there ASAP.
In addition to that, I have met and hung out with some very cool Minglers in Breckenridge Texas, Lousianna (people from all over)....They gotta meet going in Houston very shortly. Just find people within a few hours drive and see if they are nice...if so, invite them. ...alot of people enjoy making a weekend out of it. I have driven 8 hours a couple of times and it is worth it. These are some cool people.....

I did find one to send a message to about a week ago. Hasn't returned it. But hasn't been on in five days either. I guess I'm use to this other site. It's buzzing all the time with local people signing in everyday. Several times a day. The reason I am "straying" from there is because of the low quality people who come there. He (the owner of the site) is trying to make a site that has been free for years paid. Also, The great majority of people there never answer messages. Going by forum posts, I would say that over 95% of messages get ignored there. The women there seem like they have a "better than you" attitude. While the greatest majority of men are after "ONE" thing. It's a mess really. So, I am looking around in other places. So what you're saying is that it doesn't matter how many people are on a site, you think most aren't going to answer anyway? Well, Yes. I hate to say it but, Yes. It's been my experience that most who join dating sites are there for no real reason. That's the way it looks. At least from where I have been. I can't speak about this site. I've only been here a week. I've been on POF for 6 yrs. I do get answered some. I have gotten a few dates there. I would say at least for me, 85 to 90% of my messages go ignored. On POF for the most part your treated like you don't exist. I participate in the forums there some to. Right now to my knowledge there are about 20, maybe even as much as 40 threads about how people ignore other people and about how almost all messages go un-answered. So, I know I am not the only one who thinks this way. It's part of the reason I decided to branch out. See if it's the same way every where. If it is, On line dating is about as useful as **** on a bore hog. |

@Charles, I was on another site too and the filthy language and bickering got to me. I had to find something else. I read the rules for posting and it mentioned all the things on that other site, so I am hoping this one is a bit more respectful.

Have a bit of faith Charles...This is actually a really good site. I tried POF....it was somewhere between bland and vanilla.
I got banned for life from Datehookup...it was like trying to make conversation during a barfight. Mingle does indeed take a bit of work and patience....if you want something hot and sexy at your door in the next half hour..you should probably order pizza. But, I ain't even kidding when I tell you that I have physically met some really cool people here. I have also met a lot I would love to meet. This is an easy paced marathon....it ain't a sprint. |

It is very well monitored and administered.....(I think I may hold the record for spankings. I strive to excell) This is NOTHIN like those sites...when I get mouthy..they clamp it down. |

Start looking through the topics in the forums and participate in the ones you find interesting. If you don't find many you like, start adding your own. I think we all have trouble finding local people here. I have the same issue. But, for those of you who wonder if people actually meet here, take a look at this thread: http://mingle2.com/topic/show/293009. You just haven't found the right threads, then...although there are "dry spells" when people are out having real lives. Still, we tend to be just slightly addicted to Mingle. |

I was on Datehookup for about a month. I didn't like it at all. It's exactly what it says. It's a hook up site. If you are looking for nothing but sex, That's the place to go. I want more than that. POF, It's hard to explain. The owner claims that they have more marriages and people getting together than any other site. I find that hard to believe myself. With thread after thread talking about messages that never get answered. How can people get together if they don't talk? Anyway, I'm in no hurry. As I get older I find myself looking for quality more than quantity. |
