“Mingle2 Completely Free?
We offer both Free and Premium versions. Please note that we will never charge you to message, chat, search, nudge and communicate with ANY USER ANY TIME you want. Upgrading to MinglePlus is only for those who want special features not available to everyone.

If you are not interested, don't worry, our site will always be 100% FREE for you to message, chat, search, or make contact with anyone.”

When we log in we have to get past several onscreen boxes one of which is "Send your Daily set of Likes". It's a tray of faces selected by the site above a large button labelled "Send likes". The most obvious way to get rid of the box is to press the button, but if you do all the faces in the tray will receive a like from you, but no link to your profile. I get rid of the box by pressing the x in the top right corner instead.

Most people put in their profile that they are on the free version so if you want to contact them then you need to send them a message, or at least nudge them.
But the free version of the likes you get the blurred out image (if they have a profile pic) and you might be able to figure it out if you look at the Who Is Online part. But that is time wasted to me because it is usually a scammer...lol
