I get the OP's sentiment, its frustrating,

Sometimes you need to make the jump to get the results.

I usually drive more than 15 miles every day, just to get to work. So what's the problem if you're seeing someone who stays that distance away? None!

Man, the first woman that I met from this site traveled fifty miles to meet me.

I've said plenty about dating sites myself and I'm not even looking just now but I will agree that it can be frustrating. My first experience with dating sites was similar to yours and I got nothing apart from chat. When I decided to give it another go I changed my attitude and didn't expect too much from it. I got a date on the second night I was on there.


Even if this site isn't great for having a lot of local people it's not the sites fault that you live somewhere where there aren't many women using this site. I do also think that it's got to be you that's the problem if you can't meet a girl in the real world. Have you got some sort of phobia about leaving your house, or are you going to trot out some jazz about how you aren't interested in the kind of women that go out to have fun in clubs or bars?

I think the expectation of finding someone on a website that happens to be within walking distance of your home is being a little more then optimistic and I see value in the just chatting portion of meeting folks with similar interests even if they might be to far away to give thought to ever meeting. So When widening our expectations might be in order and then we aren't in for disappointment.

Hey, I don't travel for dates and I've had a few through this, so got to disagree about it being unrealistic.

To be fair to the OP, the whole hype perpetuated on this site is all about going on the forums and getting into a long distance relationship with someone from there and I think that's bollocks.
