does it sound like I'm looking for casual hook ups by saying I'm feeling lonely?

Maybe just reword it to say looking for companionship and someone to go do things with.. To some lonely seems desperate..

I would leave off the part about scammers they don't read profiles and it only puts out negative vibes~~

All else looks good~~

thanks a lot

Your profile looks just fine, good luck

I wanted to say about the fake and scammers too but it's getting old a bit to tell that to each person who wants a rating.

I'm not sure how others read Mingle profiles, but I rather see things you do in your profile text not in the red screaming text. It's way too much for my taste too, almost 3 sentences. To me the interests in red should be short, captions. Not whole sentences in themselves.

Also add more text about what you want and who you are. All I see now is your kids live at home, you drink a lot and you don't want scammers. That was my first impression, so I'd say it needs work for sure.

Oh, and instead of saying you're lonely, make it positive: I"m ready for a new person in my life (to do XYZ with/explore life with).

I'm not sure what you mean by the red screaming text. BTW, I didn't say I drink a lot

Looks okay to me. Welcome on board

It's what you fill out under "Interests". This shows up on your profile as huge red text. You don't see that in the area where you fill it out, look at your profile though. Then you will see it. I'd take the really long parts out and put them in the profile text, not under "interests".

I'm not saying you drink much, but that was my first impression, I guess because there was so little to read. It's really important to have more in your text, what you're looking for, something that exudes or downright tells who you are like etc.

Hi Joyce, it looks good... although I agree with Crystal about the interest section. Try just putting... long walks, crafts, word games, music, and travel. The other stuff can go in the "about me" section.

Best of luck to you and have fun mingling

thank you, men seem to be less critical xx

If you don't want help, don't ask. Cos that's what I tried to do. Nice to have my effort & time appreciated.
Good luck.

I didn't mean to offend you. I don't know how people write long essays, I can only say so much then it stops, which is why I split it into two. if they are going to read my profile, why does it matter where everything is?

nothing shows up big and red

Hi Jpyce...in your profile, the text following interest is underlined and red...

not for me

It matters because you're trying to attract men, who generally have short attention spans, haha.

Making the interest list brief and one or two words will catch their attention as to what you're interested in. If they are interested in the same things, then they move on to read the rest of your profile. The "about me section should be in short paragraph form... guys won't read long drawn out texts, least not most of them.

Try listing it as I suggested in my previous post, then include the other things you have in your interest section in your "about me" section.... like maybe add down to earth to your first sentence...

"Hi..I'm a down to earth mature lady looking for companionship."

Then add "specially with a special someone by a cozy fire." and then just add a word or two to the other stuff in your about me section... like this...

"I would like to meet someone to spend time with, especially listening to music by a cozy fire, taking long walks, traveling, and discovering new things about each other."

Hope that helps!

yes, thank you. but as I say, for some reason, I can only write so much then it stops

That might be a technical issue. Try contacting support.

Another thing that might be helpful is to look at how other's have formatted their profile. You can view women's profiles without it showing up in their "who viewed me" section.


What you have works, it just might work better if you make a few changes.

My interests and any I look at show up in red
