Ah, the lived too far part. I know that feeling, lol.
The point is to not quit looking, and that goes for both men and women.
I met a really great guy that I am friends with but he lives 6 hours away and over 10 years younger. If he lived closer and was older I would consider him. We didn't meet in a romantic thing anyway, he happened to be in town for a job.
That just means you are picky. If you are on a dating site for months, you will probably encounter around 500 or so messaging you. If you can't find one person in that lot, the issue is with you. Its not like its 500 prisoners who are messaging you, its a random distribution of 500 "normal" men who sent you messages. Some will be losers, some will be douches, but not all 500 will be.
And some will be wierd scared little men posing as females on a dating website so they can measure how many responses they get and "prove" something to females everywhere by publishing the results of his experiment on a forum somewhere.
Stay in your group or club and wait. Have fun in the mean time. A man could just show up one day, just like I showed up in my cycling and bonsai groups.
And you said you like hiking right? Well go hike on a trail regularly and maybe you could find a guy walking his dog or something.
I agree. THere are hiking clubs that have groups just for single people. These do work. The neighborhood park has volleyball or soccer on weekends for mixed adults. Many people meet their future spouse through this type of activity. Longer-term Group activities are good for meeting someone. Better than online or in bars. I met my current bf in a gym. New people come and go, new members, so there's chance that over time, you could hit it off with the new gym member.
Where the **** did you get that from my OP? My argument is that women get 100's of messages online. If you can't find at least 1 person suitable from there, the problem is not the men, its you.
Not all women get hundreds of messages. I receive a couple per day but never hundreds. The two fake profiles you made don't change the reality of my own personal experience.
Most of those places are filled with fossils... I know, I've been in all of them just through family and friends over the yrs.
The Elks.
The Eagles.
VFW.
The Moose.
The highlights of the day are talking about hip replacements and getting excited for the early bird specials at the local Denny's.
Nowadays there are men & women of all ages, who served in our military & guests, that have some good times at the American Legion, VFW, DAV, etc. Some nights there is a band playing/dancing, other times a Jam session, or a BBQ, etc. ......Fun times.
I don't go to bars or clubs, and my friends tell me online dating is awful and a waste of time. So the OP's advice misses the mark by a mile. The OP should not consider a career as a lonely-hearts advice columnist under any circumstances.
Was that really a serious OP, or a gag?
Then its your fault. If you can't find a man in your circles, you have to broaden your horizons instead of complaining. There are plenty of single men out there especially if you are attractive. Online dating is not a waste of time if you are a female.
The problem with online dating is that most people treat it like they are shopping for a new blender at Amazon. You think you have endless choices, and that you can check off a handy list of attributes and get whatever you want. You think that looks, or hobbies or favorite types of food are an indicator of compatibility when they aren't. You think that the bigger, better deal is right around the corner and so you reject the person who only has 8 out of the 10 things you desire in a mate. Women are probably worse about this if only because they get more messages, but I think both sexes are unreasonable online.
Most people who can't find someone online or otherwise need to lower their standards. Their standards are unrealistic, but few people can admit it.

Over a few months, you will receive hundreds of messages. Plus if a person is only receiving a few messages, its probably because they are unattractive or undesirable so they aren't really entitled to high standards. They need to be less picky and lower their standards.

I'll decide for myself what my standards should be, but thanks anyway.

So long as forever being alone is an outcome you are willing to live, yes one should.maintain her standards without compromise.
