I am asked to the point of absurdity "where do I live" , that I'm now wondering if others on some mobile connections (cell phones) can't see profile information especially when messaging someone as it has a small info bar on the side that displays your location/age.

Says your in Arkansas, and I mostly use Mingle in a web browser on my mobile..

Sorry I cannot speak for app users... As I don't have the app.

People don't bother to read, that's why

Most people are fakes just reading from scripts or are bots on this site anymore.

The vast majority are in China and Ghana and can't read English and you won't always have the same person reading from the script so you get asked over and over sometimes.

You'll learn quickly on here

Sorry, I don't have the app so I can't say. With this being a frequent question you are asked, you could put your location as the first line of text in your profile where you add details about yourself, that may help. Sadly, there are some that don't read the profiles, but you can only give it a try. Good luck in your search.

Even more absurd I am often asked what my name is and it is in BIG letters on my profile

I've seen it used as a tactic of scammers, and/or,
'information gatherers.

Even though, their profiles clearly state,
they live in another state, the millisecond
I tell them I live in Florida, magically, so do
they.

Easiest to simply block early.

No it's displayed on the app. Most that ask those questions are fake or scammers who can't use a decent translation app. As stated before they just copy and paste from the ssme old script that's been used for decades.

Hi. What is your name?

1. Those are scammers

2. If the real, RARE female asks that, she's not worth knowing if she's too lazy and uninterested to even bother to look at your profile.

Move on

This exactly.

Ahhhh. Dont.

Well,I thought my name was easy to spell but this morning somebody proved me wrong in a message by calling me Brain

Apologies
On behalf of all the dyslexic people
