Mingle2 has been around for quite some time but it has been left in the dust by its competitors. The webpage is outdated and scattered with ads which makes the browsing experience difficult. 

Who is Mingle2 for and not for?

  • For people looking for serious relationships with like-minded individuals
  • For singles who want to fall in love with compatible matches
  • Singles who are into meeting new and interesting people online
  • Not for people searching for erotic adventures and casual encounters
  • Not for cheating individuals
  • Not for people seeking relationships with rich and older people

How to Sign Up for Mingle2

Mingle2 signup
  • You must be at least 18 years old to sign up
  • You can sign up using your username and password
  • You must sign up to browse Mingle2

To sign up, visit the Mingle2 website or download the Mingle2 app. The app is available on iOS and Android. To complete the registration, provide all required information.

Required Information on Signup

  • Date Of Birth
  • Location
  • Type of relationship you are looking for
  • Ideal Partner's Gender
  • Your Gender

Mingle2 offers the following methods to verify your account:

Making Contact on Mingle2

Mingle2 matches
  • Add profiles as 'friends'
  • 'Favorite' a profile
  • The search results show which members are online
  • Your advanced search settings may not be saved
  • Allow push notifications
  • The forums are very active, with over six million messages to date
  • All members can send messages for free
  • There is a chatroom

Messaging, which is the most important aspect in dating websites, is fortunately free on Mingle2. Most messaging features can be accessed by all the members. Besides the recommendations shown on the user's account page, the user would have to manually search for the profiles they want to chat. Only completed profiles are shown in the search results and recommendations, so there is a guarantee that only the members who are serious about finding a date are shown. The user has an option to only be shown profiles that have pictures. If the user is shy or self-conscious, they can choose the other alternatives offered by Mingle2. The user can send nudges, kisses, winks, hugs, or kicks in the butt to other singles for free.

As a precaution against spammers, free users have first-contact limits and their messages get automatically deleted after 30 days. However, if a member has reached the first-contact limit, they can still send unlimited messages to those they already know and chatted with. To be exempted from these, one would have to upgrade to MinglePlus.

Mingle2 Profile Quality

Mingle2 Profile
  • Usernames are used instead of real names
  • All of the personal information can be modified later
  • Setting up the profile is easy and quick; it can be done in 4 simple steps
  • Other members can see all of your photos for free, and vice versa
  • Mingle2 does not check or verify the members' profiles through any type of profile testing
  • The profiles are not very detailed
  • The profile information can be changed later
  • Profile pictures are visible to everyone for free

The user profile is very easy to set-up. The information required from you is direct to the point and in less than a minute you can already start messaging other people. Headlines, a short blurb about yourself, and your interests (separated by commas) can be added to your profile at the end of the registration. Due to the unlimited photo uploads allowed, you can maximise your exposure to the others viewing your profile. Some have noted that the profiles are more focused on the photos of the user and not so much on the personal information. Hence, there could be difficulty in deciding whether that user is a compatible match for you. Completely deleting/deactivating profiles on demand is not possible on Mingle2. When the user deactivates their account, it will only become inactive.

However, the ease of the process does come with advantages. The simplicity you experienced during registration is also experienced by people who have fraudulent or ill intentions. Therefore, fake profiles can be created simply through different email accounts. The only way to minimise fake profiles is to report them manually, since there are no countermeasures during registration.

Mingle2 App

Mingle2 app
  • The app is completely free like the website
  • Profiles that appear at the top of the search results are the same as the website, making it hard to find new matches
  • The chat system is easier to navigate compared to the website
  • Push notifications for messages, nudges, friend requests, and matches can be enabled
  • Ads are just as rampant in the mobile app

The mobile app delivers most of the same services the website does. The interface looks more updated and modern compared to the website. The app is simple and easy to use. Although it still has many ads, the app is easier to navigate than the site. However, the pages take quite a while to load.

Special Features
