However I have not found "my one" yet (unless it's my current favorite lady). The reason I am confident is because of the effectiveness of OLD in metropolitan areas.

I am at the point of concluding that OLD works in large, metropolitan ares, but is compromised and limited in smaller cities and rural areas. I'm seeing a very strong correlation between OLD opinions expressed on this forum and the members' locations that I know. If you live in a rural area OLD is probably not working for you.

Exactly. My dating apps blow up in larger metropolitan areas. This isn't a large metropolitan area. The population totals are deceiving. Its very spread out and a very different mentality. NY City was unreal when I went there. I was never there longer than a weekend, and unable to take advantage of any of it, but my phone was blowing up. I miss Atlanta so much. I missed a ton of opportunity by leaving, but had no choice at the time. Its a shame because I know I would have been remarried with kids had I been able to stay there.

At 47, I have divorced twice, and had several other relationships of 2+ yrs. I consider myself more or less "retired" when it comes to dating or relationships. There's too much nonense involved that I could just as well do without at my age. The ones I seem to attract the most are young opportunists. They are fun but trouble. Had enough of that to realize it's not worth it.
