I'm pretty much a WYSIWYG...my comments, positive, negative, contradictory, controversial, humorous , flirty, off the cuff etc is pretty much reflective of who I am.

most people here know the real me on the surface but not what makes me tick. Only those really close to me know that


See, you're one of those people I don't feel I know at all really, except for bits and pieces here and there from what you post.


you know the real me on the surface. I don't tell everyone (except people I'm close to and talk to often) what makes me tick (personal things)

in the forums I'm pretty upfront, likes to joke, likes to debate, likes to help. Those are surface things

the why's of who I am isn't always told on the forums....however many things have been


Same here with me.....those who know me better are on my facebook, and they know a little more than I tell on here. When I did tell more on here, I was told I was only looking for sympathy and being stupid.

My human persona isn't as hairy as my Melmacian one.
I don't reveal my human persona that much in the forums.
The way I figure it, if someone wanted to get to know the "human" me, then that person would visit my personal blog, the URL of which is stated in my profile.

Are you the same in the forums as you are in person? Do you let people know what you're really like? Or, do you play a part and be who you want to be, rather than yourself?


I'm not a nice girl, but I play one on Mingle.

I've lived here for six years and seen and read and discovered MANY,
Who live a REAL LIFE,,,completely different from THAT IN WHICH THEY SAY THEY LIVE!!
YES,,many who say they're the same as on here,,ARE!
I am also one of them..BUT many who SAY THIS,,REALLY DON'T!
But they don't even KNOW that themselves?
I've learned to remember what others speak about and ON,,and as they will answer from their words said,,,then that same topic two months later,,a completely different reply,,as to their first ones..
Contradicting their first answers?
THAT,,speaks volumes to me as for them NOT BEING REAL HERE, with who and what they say their all about?
There are PEOPLE on here RIGHT NOW,,who act and look and joke and seem,,all like who they SAY they are,,,BUT,,some are freakin SCARY, as to who they LIVE as being!!!!!
SO NO!!! NO BODY can KNOW another unless TRULY MEETING THEM IN PERSON
I have witnessed a woman being taken for 1000 bucks who has a much higher IQ than I,,,and met a woman on here, who sold her place and moved for her new found love connection,,and SHE is STILL living,,stuck there,,4000 miles from where she traveled to meet him and start a life,,they shared a home,,and they went to HELL as a couple and she lost everything,,and SHE was not a stupid woman,,she was just led astray,,BELIEVING IN A SCAMMER type dude.
I know a woman who met a man on here and he moved to her,,and lived with her and HE started ordering her around and she had to involve the cops to REMOVE him from her place,,and she had children,,who he was also being mean with and to,,,so PLEASE FOLKS,,,WALK SLOW to meet and KNOW another,,before RUNNING and FEELING NOTHING BUT LOVE for them,,through ONLY WORDS on a screen,,or even BY PHONE,,,Meet them,,check them OUT,,and NEVER,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,NEVER GIVE THEM PLANE FARE BUS FARE MEDICARE,,lol,opps,,lol,DON'T DONATE TO THEIR CAUSE,,because IF you don't know them face to face,,THEY could BE ANYONE,,even a killer,,,so BE CAREFUL,,and ALWAYS ASK MANY QUESTIONS.
Some safe guards here.
IF that person only wants to have telephone conversations at CERTAIN TIMES of the day or night every week?
Yes, many of us do work and sleep at set time frames,,TRUE,
BUT, many can also have a wife or husband and THATS the times when their spouse is away,,,so be aware of THAT possibility.
IF they fail to want to,,give you their address and full real name?
I mean,,IF YOU'RE TALKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM?
IF you do go to them or they come to meet you,,have that meeting in a public place,,or ask if its cool to bring a friend with you to meet them,,THEY should find THAT an issue,,as much to say?
IF they say they have kids,,HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THEM THERE?
And if kids are adult, and there with them,,tell them that you said hello to them,,and SEE IF they do that right then?
IF not,,ask WHY?
This NET is a great place to have fun and meet people,,become friends and talk here and joke,,GOING further than THAT,,is a risk,,for anyone,,until THEY know that other is WHO THEY SAY THEY ARE?
And caution is BEST,,because this NET is also where child sex offenders dwell as well as rapists, scammers,,and STALKERS...
IF you had,,,all the friends and conversations here,,that I have had with friends on here,,,YOU WOULD ALSO WANT TO WARN EVERYONE of the harms and betrayals that CAN take form,,and place on here...
I know,,I should write a book,,,,lol
LOVE and GREAT connections happen here everyday,,and no fears and no issues,,LOVE DOES LIVE ON HERE AS WELL....
But I'd say that LOVE and happiness found,,,,between two,,is like,,
one out of twenty, the other nineteen hit lies, cons, cheats, loser's wanting to use them, and scam artists,,,,so ITS HERE,,but its NEVER A QUICK FIX TO HAVE HAPPEN,,,and time here,,and reading and watching,,speaks a GREAT DEAL about a person and who they live as in their lives...GOOD LUCK,,and YES,,I hope I AND YOU,,never have to SHARE,,one of THESE stories together here,,,GOD BLESS and BE SAFE.

I am pretty close to the same. I have discovered it is hard for my humor to translate over in typing. I am usually nicer when I am online than I would be in person. But I am always PC in reality because I know respect is only reciprocal, if your not willing to give it, you don't deserve it back.

I think that even if you're totally honest in everything you type on here, people can still get the wrong idea of who you are. I think it takes the 'in person' to really get to know someone. I've been here a while and have gotten to "know" some of you pretty well from what you write but, until we've met, spent time together, all I have to base anyone here on is what's written and my interpretation of that.

I try to be myself on here and think I have been. I probably read more than I post but that's me in real life. I'm more of a background kind of guy, I observe. The guitarist, not the singer or that's me behind the mixing board.

I've opened up the Mingle fam quite a few times when I needed support because this is a great site with some awesome people here. My advise to anyone trying to be someone they're not on this site is to get real because it's hard enough to try and figure out who you are behind a picture and a paragraph.

I think if you knew me, you would hear me say some of the stuff I post, but you would be able to tell that I am that I am probably just messing around with you.

I do agree that even if you're being completely yourself, some will get the wrong idea. Though, those tend to be the ones who don't want to get to know you better.

I disagree because I don't think it's really possible to know someone by just reading what they type on a dating forum
