If you've been on a dating site for 2 year's with no success,would you give up?

You could give up, or you could make some changes and keep trying... The choice is yours. Do you put any effort into meeting people or do you just wait for people to contact you?

No,wouldn'really give up,afterall the trick about life is NEVER GIVE UP.

Depends on what you mean by success. I go on dating sites to meet women and not to just chat with them. I couldn't see myself staying on a dating site for as long as two years if I didn't meet any women in that time. I have met women from this site but I haven't succeeded as far as finding what I'm looking for goes yet; which is a lasting relationship. I haven't given up hope and I have met some interesting people and starting dating again has helped me to move on with my life and feel better about it. To that extent, being on here for a year has been a qualified success.

Giving up is never good. You may want to reevaluate your approach to the whole dating thing though.
And maybe broaden your horizons, not just look on a dating-site. I'm beginning to think the % of ppl that find their partner on a dating-site is relatively low. Don't know if there's statistics on it, and sure some ppl find their loved one this way, but I'd say, try in the real world as well, don't depend on dating-sites only.
Socialize, go out to clubs or pubs or whatever it is you like.
And think about how you present yourself, what you want in a man and why you want one etc. The why can be important, i.e. are you happy and positive (those are the really appealing people) or desperate and lonely (which is less appealing to others).

And a picture of you smiling will probably help!

Good luck

Seeing the always make me a little sad ...If I was not involved in the forums and was simply checking and sending email, searching through profiles, and "waiting" for something to happen, yes I would give up....Join in the fun, participate in the forums...It is the absolute best way to meet people...

A trip around the world sees all the same sights whether you start in Disneyland or the Mohave Desert.

Personally, I think that if you're fed up with something it's a good idea to just leave it for a while and maybe come back when you have some enthusiasm for it again. I had no success the first time I tried internet dating and the longer it went on, the more negative and frustrated I got with it. Same thing happened when I tried singles clubs. That was fun to start off with but after a while I wasn't enjoying it anymore and if you look or sound miserable to people that isn't very attractive really.

It's a tricky one because you can still meet "likeminded people" that are fed up with it as well. I've lost count of the number of women that have told me that they're fed up with all of the creeps, spammers and time wasters on these sites.

It takes at least 5

Depends what you call success. If you want to date in the real world and establish a relationship if you see viable people on your match list I would say go for it. If not you are probably spinning your wheels.

Hi ya pacific................

You could try other dating sites as well as staying on Mingle2, this would certainly increase the possibility of more dates and improve your chance in finding the right one for you. The forums on here are a good place to make friends and meet people as well. According to the media, a high proportion of couples first meet online so it is worthwhile to be on a dating site if you are looking to find a partner, however frustrating it seems at times.

If I was on a dating site and actively looking to date and had no luck after 2 years, I'd either switch sites or focus on looking in the real world, ie. school, church, work, anyplace else,etc. But I wouldn't stay on a dating site for 2 years if I was actively looking to date, so....

Giving up,no.
Lowering your expectations and limitations might get you more attention.

What I read in your profile is, your not interested in sex. You seem to only want an activity partner.
You look attractive and sensual. Why do you project frigidity?

<----- no...


just have fun...

Thank you everyone for the wide range of opinion's.It's exactly what I wanted and needed:)

Depends..

Are you normally a quitter?

No. Only if my dating situation had changed. If I'd already found someone. I'd not put in my profile that I was still looking, if I truly wasn't, because that would be pointless.

if dating is what one is interested in and a site isn't yielding prospects, there are many others that are out there

its really up to the individual

I wouldn't personally spend two years on one site exclusively for any reason, and I probably wouldn't (and don't) go through the trouble of doing anything to 'officially' leave any of those sites once I joined,,,

if you wanna quit , quit smoking, alcohol, drugs, racism.. why on earth do you wanna make the guys on mingle have one less chick to check out, for no fault of theirs. .. lol, just kidding.. well, tobe honest, its all about when do you feel you aren't sure about the given channel of conversation's capacity to be your jackpot ticket. we all are masters of our own destiny afterall..
