Why not just limit yourself to a much smaller area? One that allows you to see your SO without making an entire day-trip out of it? I guess I just can't relate to such a strong desire for romance that I would make things extremely difficult and expensive for myself just to have it. For example, OKCupid matches me up with women in Vancouver, which is only about fifty miles away. But I don't even bother looking at those matches because it doesn't seem worth the trouble to me.

I can understand the reasoning. If you live in an area that has a definite dearth of quality women - such as my area - then it makes sense to cast a much wider net.
Maybe I just hate "commuting" more than most people. I once quit a halfway decent job because of the 32 mile commute, which usually took about 30-45 minutes. I absolutely hated it, even though the actual job wasn't bad. It would take an awfully incredible lady for me travel more than 30 minutes on a regular basis to see her.

Relocate just for a relationship? What about your work?
I said I would be open to it. In other words it's possible. I've heard of stories where people live in different countries and end up moving in together. That is an extreme example and one which I highly doubt I would ever do. But here in America? Yes.

You can but less opportunities also. Competition is big.

My average per week is 72 visitors and I rarely message the men first, mainly because I just never know what to say haha! But I get a ton of guys messaging me that I have no interest in whatsoever, usually just saying 'hi'. I want more of an interesting message than that haha! And I have 136 people rated me highly. I've been on it for about 2 months.
