I have only been on here a short time but it seems to me that is a fair question. I understand the convenience aspect of this online thing but, honestly you don’t know whether you have chemistry with someone until you meet them in person.....right? Between that the fake messages and what looks to be a rather large population of Transgender folks.......is it?

I am curious what kind of conclusion you have come to. Is it a waste of time or is there a diamond in the rough?

You should talk to people who live near you and meet in person, then it's not a waste of time. Welcome to Mingle.

You live in San Francisco...

and what looks to be a rather large population of Transgender folks


And, manage to make such a profound observation.

Best of luck.

Nonsense. I am not attracted to kiwi/New Zealand men. I met my last husband from England on Mingle2. As soon as he walked into the airport, we already knew so much about each other and we sent pics every day. Face timed and it was simply the icing on the cake to meet face to face.
Good luck.

Only you can decide that. It might be a waste of time but it's definitely not a collosal waste of time, the forums are great.

welcome to Mingle membership...plrnty of seats available...

In response: actually, the whine of newbies with incredible naive and unrealistic expectations has been by far the most waste of time.

Colossal?

Doesn't seem that big to me.

One general observation: you can't waste more time than you spend.

I *personally* don't need to meet someone to see if we have that "chemistry" thing people talk about so much..
I never undestood it...either I like you, or I don't, and, I can tell that from some in-depth conversation...sharing thoughts..

I don;t know what your age range search is, but, I can tell you..in MY age range of 50+ year old men, I have *yet* to see a trangendered person, so..I can't see this as being a real problem on here...laugh

Oh flipp. I wrote something quite thoughtful, enlightening, insightfull, e.t.c.
But it all vanished, some error popped up.

Anyway m8 people are people whether or not they are on a dating site.

Two people really getting on is comparitivly rare. Same as real life.
Have patience..
You could argue that you efforts in real life are a collosal waste of time as well.
it's all a waste of time.
Blindly we march to our doom
Gibbering and whooping,we scratch at the ebony gates of oblivion.
Maybe I shouldn't have had a drink :)

You are quite poetic when you have had a drink. It suits you :smiley:
