Conclusion

Mingle2 is FREE and that’s honestly the sites biggest advantage. It is fairly easy to use. Yes, it is lacking some of the amazing features that the big dating sites have but it works. There are lots of good looking members and a good and informative set of forums about topics aside from just dating. Overall not a bad site and worth a try!
