I have noticed that women will have Height and Ethnicity preferences.
Lot of Caucasian Females only prefer White Male. Some Black Girls prefer White guys.

Lot of them will disable the account for a week. So they don't get the usual sexual messages.

Most of them have at least 1 kid. Plenty of women who are divorced.

Demographics matter a lot. Most will not travel very far for a match. You are from Austin where a lot more single people live. That is why your friend is getting a lot of messages.

That is a plausible explanation. But that doesn't explain why she was getting a lot of attention on POF though.

I draw the line at 4 hour drive for a very serious relationship.

The only tall, 20 yr old black and cuban woman on OKC in Orlando is a weed lover, outwardly sexual in a ghetto way, and uses lots of profanity in her profile. If that's you I can understand the lack of responses based on the typical OKC crowd.

lol most definitely not me... I ended up deleting my account. I figured if I get approached a lot more in real life then why put up with OKC.

For a good match prospect I would travel further. But my experience on a dating web site tells me it is very rare for people to get involved with anyone that is not local to them. It's more like you need to live within an hour of me or you will not be contacted. And that "hour" is a generous estimate.

I should add that I'm open to relocate.

Then you sir, are a better man than I. Ideally within 30 mins, 45 mins max for me.

So true, everything you said. I even met one who ended up being pregnant (this she did not reveal before our date)...

Wow, travelling four hours for a date? I'd be reluctant to go across town.
