If the email you're sending is being returned to you, it could be that: you are trying to send to an anonymous username that doesn't exist. Be sure to check your spelling. The person you are trying to contact is no longer a member of stdmingles.com. You are sending from an email address other than the address that you used when you joined stdmingles.com.
If you need to establish an email account, there are several Web-based services that provide email service free of charge. By establishing a free web-based email account and registering it with stdmingles.com, you can: Be organized by sending all of your stdmingles.com email to your Web-based email inbox rather than having it mixed in with your work or other personal correspondence. Send and receive messages from any internet-connected computer. Stay in touch with your matches even when you're out of town.

You can follow these tips to grab someone's attention and get more responses.
1. Write more about yourself and your match.
2. Don't forget to add more photos.
3. The more personalized your email, the more likely others will respond.
4. Most people respond well to humor. Keep it light at first. Show them you are a fun person.
5. Try emailing more members. The more emails you send the better your response rate will be.
6. Sign in as often as possible at different times to meet as many members as you can.
7. The most important thing is to be honest, positive and patient in all uses of the site.
It is a quick, fun way to let someone know you're interested. You pick a one-liner from the list, and it's sent to the member of your choice. The member gets the wink in the 'Message' or email address and then can go to your profile and wink back with you.
All users can send winks for free. If you’d like to take it a step further, then upgrade to a PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP and send a message to start a real conversation.
Discovering allows you to specify the types of member profiles you want to see. You can conduct an unlimited number of searches by selecting the preferences and characteristics of your desired match. Start with ZIP code, age, and gender. Then narrow your search with physical characteristics, lifestyle practices, and relationship desires. Play around and try a variety of searches. You never know where you'll find your perfect match!
There are a number of ways to increase your number of matches. First make sure you have created a profile. Once you create your profile, our exclusive technology will compare your profile responses with those of other members to find the profiles that best match you. Already did that? The criteria in your profile may be too specific. Go to Search Profiles and try to broaden your match criteria. For example, if you have height requirements of 5'10" - 6'0", try expanding those by a few inches.
If you're not getting the responses you are hoping for, consider the following:
1. If you don't have a photo, add one. This is the fastest and easiest thing you can do to increase your responses. Statistics prove that profiles with photos are up to 20 times more likely to receive attention than profiles without.
2. If you're not receiving any responses at all, be sure you're checking for responses at the email address you gave us when you signed up. It could be that your responses are simply landing at a different email address. If you are looking at the right address, also check whether you might have a Spam filter that's catching your PositiveSingles messages. Check with your email provider about how to add stdmingles.com as a trusted sender.
3. We recommend making a lot of initial contact attempts. It may also help to expand your search criteria in order to find more prospective matches. Be sure and take advantage of the custom search features of the site and experiment with different search parameters.
Reverse Match is a fun feature we offer that returns matches who are looking for someone just like you. So however they fit into your preferences, you'll know that you fit their preferences wonderfully. To see your Reverse Matches, just go to the Discover page and click on Reverse Match. Reverse Match is based on your profile. So, the more specifically you describe yourself in your profile data, the more accurate your Reverse Matches will be. To receive different reverse matches the member would need to update their profile. Otherwise they may receive the same results over time.
A blog is short for "weblog". According to Webopedia, a blog is a Web page that serves as a publicly accessible personal journal for an individual. Typically updated daily, blogs often reflect the personality of the author. A blog allows you to keep an online journal you share with others. You can add, edit, or delete posts and comments.
Comments are posts by other people added to your personal blog. In the "Edit blog description & settings" page, you decide whether to be notified of these comments by email or not.
You can follow or add the blog to your favorite blogs list. Then you can easily check the comments by clicking 'My favorite blogs' on main blog page and never miss any entries.
Original content is reviewed before publishing to the site. If stdmingles.com's Terms of Use are violated, the posting is denied. Examples of denied content include but are not limited to: personal ads, advertisements of products or services, and hate language.

1. Check comments regularly. No need to reply to mean or embarrassing comments. You can delete them and block offensive users from commenting further.
2. Post often. Once you get members hooked on your blog, they’ll want to keep coming back for more.
3. Most people respond well to humor. Keep it light at first. Show them you are a fun person!
4. Connect with other bloggers. One of the most amazing things about the blogosphere is how it has created a tight-knit community that supports one another. Developing relationships with other bloggers will lead more people to your blog, and give you a better sense of what appeals to members, which makes your blog even better!

A quick and easy way to find interested matches. "Spark" shows you the photo of a potential match. You can heart them, or you can skip them. When you are using "Spark", if you and another member both slide each other's photos into the 'heart' pile, then we'll let both of you know by sending a notification email. If either of you slide the photo to the 'x' pile, then nothing happens - if you don't heart someone, it doesn't mean they're hidden from you forever.
It means that if you made an in-app purchase in this App but on another device you can restore those purchases with your Apple ID log in credentials without having to pay again.
Some members have advised us that they have received emails asking for 'confirmation' of their usernames and passwords. Please do not respond to these types of emails. They are simply phishing scams designed to collect your confidential sign-in information and likely violate your privacy. PositiveSingles will never send emails asking for personal or account information.
Suspicious emails should be forwarded to support@stdmingles.com.
If you have already responded to a phishing email with your sign-in information, please sign into your account immediately and change your password.
If your sign-in information no longer works,

The following are just a few examples of the phishing emails that have been sent to our members:

The Do's for Primary Photo: What's a primary photo, you ask? This is the photo that appears on every page of your profile, and a smaller version shows up when other members search for matches. In other words, this photo is how other members of the Stdmingles.com community get to know you. So make a great impression with these tips:
|
|
DO use a recent photo.
Within the last six months is best.
DO make it a photo of just you.
It's your moment in the spotlight!
DO keep it up-close and personal.
Most people like to use a good headshot or head and shoulders.
DO have it look like you.
Use an image of what you look in daily life, not all dressed up.
DO smile.
Our site's members find a smile to be the most appealing image.
DO crop out the "white space" around the photo.
Otherwise, your photo will appear smaller and the file size will be increased.
Do put your best frontal face.
Your frontal face which is not obscured will be more attractive.

The Don'ts for Primary Photo:
|
|
DON'T wear sunglasses or a hat.
They obscure the real you. Ditto for other distracting headgear, accessories, or, a really loud scarf.
DON'T use a dark or blurry photo.
It won't reflect what you really look like... and signals that you don't care about your photo.
DON'T submit that red-eyes shot.
Even if it's one of your favorites, the sci-fi red-eye effect is a deal-breaker, trust us.
DON'T let the background grab all the attention.
Keep the backdrop of your primary photo simple.
DON'T show too much skin.
Photos that are too racy won't be posted.
DON'T wear a big pattern.
In a small photo, a busy pattern can be distracting and unflattering.
DON'T cut people out of photos.
Chances are, it just won't look right. Find another image you like instead.
DON'T use images of celebrities.
Or copyrighted material, like an image of your favorite cartoon character.
DON'T submit photos of your kids without you.
Photos of you with them are just fine, though.

If you click on another member's profile and see a message that the profile is unavailable, it is usually because that member has chosen to take a break to pursue a relationship, or for other reasons has chosen to hide their profile.
Occasionally members are removed suddenly due to security violations that result in their removal from the site. Unfortunately, the member may have an opportunity to send out a few Winks or Messages first, but we’ve gotten better at catching these situations very quickly.
You can send up to 50 winks per day.
If you need to unhide someone you have previously hidden, click on "Settings" under your main photo icon in the upper right corner of the top bar. Hit "Hidden" in the left sidebar on "Settings" page. You'll be able to find all users you've hidden there.
To unsend a message, move your mouse over the message or photo. You'll see an ellipsis popup to the left. Hover your mouse over the ellipsis. Click 'Unsend' to unsend your message or photo.
You can unsend a message at any time and don't need the other user to approve. They will however be notified by receiving a note that "xxx has unsent a message."
To report a specific profile, go to that profile. Please go to the profile you want to report then click '...' beside the username section and select 'Report'. Choose the reason before clicking SUBMIT. Or you can report a specific profile on the message window by clicking "MORE OPTIONS" in the upper right corner. Then choose the reason and click SUBMIT.
If you've liked someone in "Spark", but are having second thoughts, you can unlike them by going to the top navigation bar and click on "My Lists---Likes---My Likes". Then move your mouse to the profile you want to unlike and click "Unlike" on the upper right corner, or tap the upper right corner of that profile and then hit unlike if you are using a tablet or mobile device.
For members you have never liked, there's no option to unlike them.
When paying by GooglePlay or the Apple App Store, please note that you'll also have to stop your subscription through Google and / or Apple. If you do not, you will continue being charged regardless of your account status on the app. If paying by credit card, we'll automatically cancel your subscription for you if you remove your account.
Sometimes when you subscribe or when your subscription renews, you might see an additional transaction pending from SuccessfulMatch / stdmingles.com. It's usually due to authorization attempts made to your card, and how your financial institute handles those transactions. Don't worry though, they'll likely cancel once the real transaction has gone through. If you actually are double billed, don't worry - email us
support@stdmingles.com with a screenshot or picture of the transactions and we'll look into it.
To sign out of your stdmingles.com account, please click on "Sign Out" under your main photo icon in the upper right corner of the top bar.
If you're using a shared or public PC, we recommend you clear the cache / cookies to protect your account.
Due to recent banking changes, we're no longer able to accept PayPal payments. You can upgrade your membership through other payment options though. We accept most major credit cards, debit cards and CCBill.
A hidden profile is usually a member that has decided they don't want their profile to be seen for the time being, for various reasons. You can still send them a message or even share your private photos with them. You won't be able to view their profile or send them a wink, nor will you be able to like or fave them. If you think they've violated our rules, you can still report or block them though.
