I'm an online man and I've lost trust in myself. Thanks Wonderwoman!

Haha! And you look like a cat!

Hi I just ask if all military profiles were scammers and mingle shut it down didn't have but few responses lol oh well

There are scammers in every walks of life. Most Military you see on dating sites are a good percent scammers.. Just be careful.

It was outlined in the thread that got locked why we locked it. There is no reason for several threads of the same thing.

Let google be your friend,, and report those you believe could be a scammer.

Is anybody really real anymore? Why is it so difficult to find genuine guys with morals? Please, someone tell me they still exist!!! lol

Are you a fake snow chick?? You look kinda cute..

Maybe they have lost trust in the female gender.. Wonder why??

I am real. I have a set of beliefs that guide my behavior. We may disagree about the term morality though. And I haven't lost faith either.

There are also several others here. I know them. I see their words here in the forums. And there are many women here with great personalities and agreeable beliefs.

There are also some without here. I ask you to participate here in the forums, watch and learn. You will see us. You will find insight into the ones that are genuine and 'real'.

I find agreement with this sentiment. I find so few people locally that will engage in a conversation and even fewer who will sustain it to fruition (phone call, coffee meet, date?). And this was true in my experience for both m2 and other 'dating' websites. I also find the 'Mutual Match' feature useless as it attempts to match me with dead profiles for the most part.

I have sustained a few long and pleasant conversations with people overseas. Some of them are actually right here in the forums. They are a part of my circle of friends.

I have actually had several women ask me to contact them by their private email shortly after we begin exchanging letters. I politely tell them I do not want to do that until we have built a trust. I have found some of them will continue to use mingle. Some don't. This informs me that some people just prefer to use their private emails and will 'stick it out' with me when they have a genuine interest.

Apparently my experience is not unique so I would discourage anyone from disparaging someone from 'overseas'. The perspective of what constitutes 'overseas' depends which side of the pond you stand on.

I fully agree with this DC....When I started searching I made known I was searching the world, so locals didn't really matter to me...but interestingly enough I had zero interest from my fellow countrywomen....why is this so??? yet overseas girls where more than ready to chat...

On this particular site, I thought that most "overseas girls" were scammers & such. Maybe there are some genuine people amongst them, but it is hard to tell, at least for me. There are some countries that have some desperate people in them, and - though the people may be real - they will do anything to make a better life for themselves, even if it means chatting up some American men. You know, we are all rich here in America, and live in big mansions (so some think).

The truth of the matter is that some of us are living paycheck to paycheck with maybe a few thousand $$$ in our checking accounts if even that. To actually scrape up the money to make a few visits to their country, then bring them here isn't an option, and (once they get here, and find that the man isn't loaded, nor has that 3-story mansion) they could be smacked with the reality that some of us Americans aren't as well off as they think. I personally have known people who've had this scenario play out - more than one.

Then there are the culture differences....

I'll most likely get banned for saying this, but American women are spoiled rotten.. It's not an unknown fact.

So quick question: what is the nature of the scam these people hope to pull? I've been chatting with someone from Nigeria and rather have my doubts about their authenticity, but i can't really imagine how someone could make money from another person on mingle, other than by directly asking them for money.

It's crazy for a person to win something they never enter .

No, I knew someone who won $50 cards a week for a year to a local supermarket. I checked it out and it turns out they bought an item that entered them into some kind of contest and she won!
