Good grief Charlie Brown. How is the site misleading you? Do you really think a human hand picks mutual matches for every person on the site??? There are 2 ways for a mutual match. 1. the system selects a match based on interests, etc that members put on their profile or 2. a member can click to match someone through the profile slaphead



That's your answer...



Yes, I can read. Matching can be done manually by Mingle members or it can just be automated by the site. What's your point?


The point is that you are accusing the site of being misleading...when it's clearly not


It clearly is if it's sending people messages telling them that other people want to meet them when those people may not have clicked anything saying that.


Ah Tawt. Please see Soufie's explanation just a few posts back. The site IS NOT doing what you think it is. And don't blame Ms Edy for my bad. She ACCIDENTALLY posted a typo with your name that I overreacted to with lots of smarmy smileys. I'm sorry for bringing it to light, and for laughing so hard. I sorely needed to laugh though, and sometimes these posts do that for me. I humbly apologize to you personally.

This site is cool, the people are cool, the forums are fun, and heck, ya might meet the right one here so bonus that. Don't jump to conclusions...read Soufie's response please. flowerforyou


No worries. Believe it or not, I'm used to people calling me that and it's a joke name. I didn't think anything about that but it's bad enough with all of the nested quotes without having to scroll through all of those smileys and I didn't read that post you're refering to.

I'm not saying that I think that this site is totally crap and I can hardly complain about it when I've actually met women from being on here and it's cost me nothing. Well, I think that the people that run the site are probably only interested in money and they are happy enough to give the impression that there are loads of real people on here, when a large number of those profiles are bogus or inactive. I came on here for dating and for me that's a separate thing from the banter that goes on here in the forums. As a forum Mingle is not bad but as a dating site it could be a lot better in my opinion.

As far as mutual match goes, I think that it's a bit pointless anywaybut it is kind of funny about the dead guy and my lady friend that has no recollection of matching with me when she said to me that she's thinking of deleting her acount on here because she's fed up with getting a lot of messages from men that keep asking her to meet them. If she did actually click that she did it after she had met me. I'm past caring if the other ones that matched with me are trolls or bots. It's a dating site and if people can't be bothered to type a proper message, or reply to one, then it's their loss and I'll continue to come on these forums to chat with you lot while I'm waiting for messages from friends that I have on here and from women that I've met up with.

I know a profile of a deceased gentleman that is still on this site after three years. I have contacted the site to let them know. Ladies, the site says that he last visited a month ago. Makes me wonder how long ago anyone has last visited. Oh, I also received a messages from Mingle stating the deceased man wanted to meet me??? ohwell


They will never inactivate profiles on this site, because it is free. The more active profiles means it will be more appealing to potential members, and being a free website, the more people they can get means the more they can charge for advertising on their site. Thus, inactivating old profiles would be counter productive. Furthermore, setting the last visited to only over a month ago follows in the same type of manipulation. It's just good for business. Not that I'm complaining, it's free.

Ok, a little vindictive but not malicious. Only when I feel
hurt will I do something like that. Well, to a point. Not
to the point of getting myself kicked off the forums.

Some people. Fools like myself who are overly sensitive, and
have a tendency to get their wires crossed at times.

I like you. I was just a little confused, thinking you were
openly insulting me. Then I thought that maybe I did something
to make you lash out at me? Ahh, it's over now.

Yeah but some people actually come on dating sites for dating and not just for a laugh. Are you saying that you don't take this seriously as a dating site because it's free? It's not all about money you know. If you really are on here to meet somebody it can take a lot of time and there are a lot of lonely people out there that registered on this site because it's supposed to be a proper dating site where a lot of people have found love.

I have always had written on my profile 'not looking'
Been on a few dating sites and saw how they operated so I wasn't interested in dating sites anymore. They do work for some and realistically paid or free makes no difference
