Never said it was. The other end of the stick... IMPORT works too
But ONE OF YOU will need to move.
There's no getting around it as I see it.
Well, you could settle for someone that doesn't really suit I suppose.
But who wants that?
However any of us might define "quality" if THEY are somewhere else then WE are the problem.
Fix your problem.
When talking about fixing a problem like this, it's still hypothetical. It's not like you can interview for the boyfriend role and get it, like you can a job. Relocating for a job you've been hired for and relocating for a hypothetical relationship are two different things.
It's not like my current situation is bloom and gloom and I'm living hand to mouth. My ex from last year was from a situation to where her current job was being phased out, so she relocated to the first place that would give her a salary she could live on. She ended up in my locale by relocation only.

No... it really isn't.
It may not be practical and it's certainly not convenient...
but it is entirely and completely real.

Nope..but if I KNOW those jobs I'm best suited for are concentrated in City X (vs podunk town Y)
I'd have to be an idiot to not calculate on HOW to get to City X and get one of those jobs.

This isn't about YOU or your specific situation.
But if your situation is OK enough then you're left to find someone somewhere else...
someone who you can convince there are good reasons to move there.

There ya go... but you can't depend on happenstance like that. Can you?
Go to THEM ...or get them to come to YOU.
Or settle.
Anybody have good experience with E Harmony - or anything online? Best friend divorced - 2nd time & told me joined E Harmony & the losers being "matched" are all really ugly or have no pictures - or not even located in the same state - let alone anywhere nearby otherwise they're idiots who join during the free weekend - which is every weekend - make up profiles and then leave. Paying good money for it too.
I always found their ads unctuous and off-putting. Of course, I find the entire precept of online matchmaking to be off-putting. But admittedly, I'm not in the "market" and haven't been for 20 years. Speaking of which, there's an element of "meat market" to it that I find decidedly unenticing.

I never tried eHarmony but a friend did and everyone he met off that website was super desperate and started bringing up topics like marriage and kids super early on (like the first handful of dates early). I tried match once but in my area it seems no one wants to pay for memberships on these sites so there was only a handful of matches. The free sits are much more popular so you will get way more matches and dates there.

I don't consider that desperate. If those things are important to them, why shouldn't they bring it up with someone to see if they are on the same page about it? eHarmony is supposed to be a more serious, marriage minded type of site anyway so I don't find it weird that marriage and children would be discussed.
I find online dating in general ****ty, punk a$$ b*tch men, creeps, weirdos, desperate, and pathetic men, and men who are just trolling for sex and maybe a few men I'm talking less than 5 are normal.

In my experience the free sites attract cheap azz men. Men whose idea of a first date is a cheap chain restaurant because he has a coupon. Or he meets you for lunch with a friend, shows up late, is afraid he will be obligated to pay for you and your friend so only he only orders a soda. I've gone out with three different guys from POF and OKCupid and it was always the same story. They are recently divorced and broke.
I hate Eharmony. I did find a relationship on there a couple of years ago which lasted a year, but typically there are zero choices where i live. Total waste of money. They keep spamming me with 77% off emails, which must be their regular price for previous members who they lost. I won't do it. In fact, about to take all my profiles down on every site. Total waste of time. I have better things to do with my time.
