Some people have been here for years and haven't had one single date.


I can vouch for that!

Of course, eHarmony TOLD me I was unmatchable....


Ummm.....me too..lol


You know, based on their undoubtedly accurate and thorough evaluation, plus my dozens and dozens of truly horrendous prior entanglements, they may have been right after all!

I know the feeling.

Once they told me I was unmatchable, I looked at that and said " Well...ok then. "

I actually knew that long before I ever took their test. But at least I had it in writing after that. LOL

Eharmony is like the nightmare that never ends.grumble

Thank you! I paid too much for a membership. If I got a few matches, they were hours away. One guy wanted a woman to give him financial stability for his likes, traveling, buying horses. Creep. Another guy was in need of a good psychologist. Another one drank alot and put that in his profile. Sometimes it's better to remain AWAY and work on your own interests.
By the way, guy--that's the way you can meet someone. Work on your own interests.
This became not my focus for dating.

It is kind of a nifty exit strategy. If someone I'm not interested in tries to start something up, I just say, "Well, you do realize I'm unmatchable, right?"

Oooo.....I hadn't thought about using it that way.

I just used it as a basis to assume that when a woman emailed me, she wasn't actually interested. She was just being friendly...lol

You might want to consider printing it out. That way, when they say they don't believe you, you have a hard copy as proof.:thumbsup:

I get e-mails from women who ARE interested (or who are pretending to be, which amounts to the same thing), but they haven't read my profile. After they read my profile, they realize the error of their ways and vanish into the ether. "Ether" that or it takes them so long to read my profile, they get Alzheimer's and forget about the whole thing.

As one might suppose, I never get any e-mails from someone I might actually be interested in.

So I guess I'm a Mutual UnMatch.

I am beginning to believe this site is a joke I have not had one single date
from this site and I would like to know why?


Just because this is a "dating" site does not mean it is any easier to get dates. You still have to put in work to find that "special" someone and nothing is guaranteed.

Look at it this way; when you first meet someone do you automatically start the conversation with the way you start the e-mails? No, probably not...I'm beginning to think a lot of people are a joke here. If I meet a girl on the street and the first conversation we have is "I like the color red, walks in the park, staring at sunsets" or whatever blahblah junk you use...I think she would run from me, or possibly call the cops.

Quit thinking everything is going to be handed to you on a silver platter...

...let me get this ..you joined three days ago and you're upset you havent had a date..in that case..i should be really PISSED...:laughing:



No...this shows he joined Mingled almost a year ago...and this is his first post! Now had he made himself known and participated in the forums for the last year...maybe this thread wouldn't even exist.

Make yourself visable/known...participate in the forums, let members get to know you while you get to know them! And PLEASE...don't expect a 'relationship' to happen over night.

Good luck in your search! :thumbsup:

I haven't had a date from here and I have been here over a year. Why do people keep complaining? I like making new friends.

This site is a great way to meet new people, but if it's not working NOW NOW NOW! try the real world. Always make eye contact and be the first to say "hello" or "how are you doing today?". I've been asked out by more girls than I care to admit, just because I'm a generally friendly person. If you can't be patient to meet someone interesting enough to date, then you need an escort service.

Do you really want to know why you are not getting dates from this site? Cause I will tell you. Unfortunately, they will delete my post if I do tell you because my posts are a little too harsh for the masses. explode

It is a joke. You can do so much better if you just go out and start talking to real live women in the real world. It's a lot more fun too! Just walk up, say hello, introduce yourself and shake hands. Stand up straight and smile. Do not kiss her butt, just relax and talk to her about something YOU find interesting. And if she isn't interested in you within the first 5 minutes, tell her it's been a pleasure and move on. Don't be the creepy guy that follows her around.

It'll take some practice, but you will figure it out quickly if you just go out and do it. Don't let her being too young or to pretty stop you. Allow her to decide if she likes you or not. You can't read her mind! She is more as likely to be thinking "I wish he'd say hello" than "I hope he doesn't talk to me."

But remember, women are like buses. Never chase one because another will be along in a few minutes.

True enough, but you can stand there an awful long time if the buses don't run on that street! You have to be on the right road.

Improve your profile; improve your approach; participate in the forums and find someone who is attracted to you -- and be patient.

This isn't a mail-order bride website! winking


Nice shirt for Christmas , Melody. Did you also get a matching sword and an eye patch? laugh
