Welcome to MatureMingles.com, we hope that you enjoy using the site and that you check back regularly for updates.
Below is a guide to help you use the system more effectively.
Searching - There are several criteria upon which you can search. These include the advertisers age, country of residence, body type, sex and whether the profile includes a photo. If you are a male seeking a female then search for 'Women seeking Men'. If you wish to see only profiles with photos the tick the 'Photo Ads Only' box. You can quickly move through the regions box by pressing the '-' (dash) on your keyboard.
If you wish to find an individual member, you may type their username directly into the 'Username' text box and click search.
Register - You need to register in order to place a profile, as your registered name is what identifies you in the system and allows us to find your profile for you to edit through the 'My Information' option. Tip: Enter your e-mail address carefully as your password is automatically sent to this address. If you make a mistake, you will not receive your password.
Login - As a member, you may login either at the entry screen. Tip: If you forget your username or password then you can have it resent by clicking on the 'resend password' link under the login box. Enter the e-mail address you registered with and we will send you the details you require.
Add Profile - Studies found that if you place a profile, you will be 5 more times likely to receive a response than if you respond to someone else’s profile. You can change or delete your profile at any time through the 'My Information' option. Tip: Try to keep the size of your photo smaller than 20k or you may have trouble uploading it (depending on your internet connection). Use an image editor such as Paint Shop Pro or Canva, to reduce the size of your image by cutting out unnecessary 'white space' and compressing the image.
My Information - This section lets you delete or edit your profile or change your registration details (if for example you change your main e-mail address).
Chat - The chatroom is for members to communicate on either a personal or community level Click the chat room button on the left-hand menu and the chat room you will automatically be logged into the chat room using your username. Simply enter your message in the blue box and press send to display your message to other users. If you prefer to communicate on a one-to-one basis, double-click the username in the list on the right to display a private chat window that can only be seen by you and the person you are communicating with.
Instant Messenger - The Instant messenger gives you a private chat facility for other members that are logged in to the Instant Messenger. When launched, it will display a list of members online. Select the member you wish to message by clicking their username. This action will display a message box for you to enter a message. Click an emoticon to enter it at any point in your message and press send to message the user. Although you can communicate with several people simultaneously, only the member you are messaging will see your message.

HELP! What should I write in my profile?
Here are tips for writing attention getting profiles.
The key to a good personal ad is what you write in the description & headline fields. Think of your personal ad as an advertisement for yourself. The goal is to draw people in with your headline and keep the reader's attention by writing an interesting description of yourself.
Your Headline (Title)
The headline for your profile needs to be catchy enough to get someone's attention in just a few words. You can easily do this by using keywords that best sum up your personality. If you're funny it should show in your headline. There's no need to include details about yourself such as your age since that information is listed along with your headline. It's also important not to say anything that makes you sound desperate like in these examples:
Lonely Guy/Girl
Sick of being single
Desperate for love
Tired of Looking
Remember, you're essentially trying to sell yourself and your positive qualities. So avoid negative statements in your headline and have fun with it! It's also a good idea to include phrases like 'click here' or ask a question like 'Are you a movie fanatic?' When you ask someone to do something or to answer a question you're more likely to get results.
Your Description
Now let's talk about the Description for your ad. This is your chance to say in your own words what you're about. It's not enough to answer a bunch of generic questions. So GO FOR IT. Let your personality show and don't hold back. Keep in mind there are hundreds of profiles just like yours that say the same things. So say something to stand out from the crowd and make the reader curious to find out more about you. Talk about things that are interesting to you and stay away from clichйs. And please, please avoid making up things about yourself. You're only wasting your time and someone else's by being dishonest. I suggest writing enough to convey what you're about but not revealing everything about yourself initially. A good rule of thumb is to keep your description within 200-300 words.
Good luck!!
