Seems like the same names in forums. So how many do we think there actually are ?

Hard to say, because I don't post in all forums, but maybe 50-60 regulars?

I was afraid that was the case. Supposedly the forums are the place to find real people and from my experience that is true. Of these few in forums it seems none really are here for dating and many are a worlds apart, in distance, beliefs and lifestyle

But then, the forums you check, the more regulars you will find. It really needs patience, I guess.

A shame that's how it is. The site has thousands of members and a handful are real. Chances for a date for me are slim and chances of a relationship are about as likely as winning the lottery, three times in a row. And that is with me being in The Houston area !

I know, it takes a lot of filtering. But we did have couples, who found each other here.

And look at me, I am definetely the only active and regular poster from the entire island of Ireland

That's sad, but hey we can probably cuss each other out without ever having a confrontation. So drink a whiskey for me you drunken MF, lol !

cussing out and confrontational behaviour ain't tolerated on this site... we have watchful and intelligent Mods.... and they are not all on a cruise at the same time !!!

Actually thought of that when I posted, but too a chance on being a man. FWI, as a whole I don't like vulgarity, not even enuendo, is that spelled right ?

Yea never know who is reading~~



Ohhh and Slim gym that is not till next weekend lmao~~

I thought the party starts when all arrangements are firmed up .....

Ohhh heck now, always up for a bit of partying.. But once I step on board and get that first drink in my hand then the game is on.... keep the drinks coming~~~

Keep posting. There are a lot of fun, amazing ladies here!

What's a forum?

I'm trying hard

Hi Bonnie,

There are a lot of fun and amazing gentlemen here too!

🥳

This is an international site, so you will find many members live in other countries, as well as many living far away from you in your own country. Some are prepared to relocate for the right person, if you cannot or prefer not to, so don't rule out those living far away from you. Whether they post in the forums or not always contact those people you are interested in, you never know your luck on a big dating site.

If you are serious about dating .. be realistic and don’t put all your hopes on mingle .. Continue to increase your social networks locally

The forums for me are just entertainment.

For sure, good advice

A few years ago I met my current GF using Mingle2.
She never even opens the forum community side of the site.
She is local (lives 5 miles from me).
She is within my age group (6 years younger).
We exchanged a few messages (6-8) thru Mingle2's message center, exchanged phone numbers and set up a meet (which she didn't show for). Another few more phone calls and another meet (which she did show for) and we have been GF&BF ever since and still going strong.

She knows I still participate in the forums but since we are both adults, its non-threatening.

To do this I had to rethink my soul-seeking methods:
1. I needed to realize a real woman is not perfect at my age range. They don't look like models, they probably have children and grandchildren and they are not likely to play games to scam you.
2. I needed to stick with what I know. I know my town. I needed someone local who actually lives in or close to my town. Dating/relationships require personal contact to flourish.
3. I needed to trust her. I chose discussions which would have tripped up the average scammer.
4. I needed to lighten up a bit and walk in reality. My flexibility allowed me to give her a benefit of a doubt and it worked out in my favor.
5. I needed to put away my expectations and actually see her as she is, not as I want her to be.

If yer waiting till you find a 'perfect' match, you will probably die alone.
Use the wisdom you have gained so you don't make the same mistakes over and over.
Be patient, wise and flexible.
Try to see the person as they are.
