Hey, everyone. I joined this website on a dare from a buddy, because I've always said that dating websites can't possibly work. It's not that I'm being dishonest -- I'm certainly not against meeting a nice girl through typing. It's just that I don't feel like I _need_ a girlfriend to live a good life. I'm 47 and pretty damn independent.

That's about the only useful self-introduction that I have time to come up with at the moment, apart from my somewhat wordy profile.

Just a couple of questions from the new guy, then, if anyone would be so kind: Is there any way to go about chatting with others in Albuquerque, or is this a worldwide forum? And does anyone have suggestions about differentiating between robots and real people? I've just joined up within the past thirty minutes, and I've already gotten four "nudges." Surrrrrrre.

Thanks -- I hope everyone's having an awesome summertime so far.

Welcome to Mingle2.

This is an international site and unfortunately we can't stop others from viewing our profiles or sending nudges etc but you can set mail preferences here though http://cpn.mingle2.com/inbox/filters to prevent receiving messages from members you have no interest in. And, the block button can be your friend

Enjoy your stay and happy mingling!

If I were in Albuquerque, seeking thrills and
entertainment, I'd pack heavy, and head over
to a part of town called 'the war zone'.

'Least, that's what I'd do.



Best of luck in your search.

The War Zone! Yeah, I'd definitely want to bring something loaded or sharp. Thanks for the welcome, you two. (And the tips, D.I.)
