You know what, I've given up on finding a childfree woman. The ones on OK Cupid and POF are all "too good" to reply to a guy like me (who ain't half bad, if I do say so), and I haven't the foggiest where else to filter for them.

Having no love life sucks so f___ it, I'm just looking for casual relationships, friends with benefits, or short term stuff. IMO, it's a waste even trying.

Meetup.com. And it wasn't a childfree specific group.

I have no idea. Through friends of friends? Or family friends? Or family? No clue. Since, most my relationships are usually from those relations.

I have been online dating over 5 years and have yet to meet ONE truly CF woman within 100 miles.... I did meet one a little further away but she was eager to move out west and live the RV park lifestyle.... not my thing. I'm in southeast Alabama close to FL where it just seems impossible. I'm also looking for a non-smoker and preferably non-religious type too. I do find them on sites like OKCupid and POF, but can never get a reply back from any of them. I've been using craigslist lately... posting ads seeking a child-free non-smoker in every city within 150 miles. It's starting to work. I do get replies every day or two now. I use CF facebook groups too, but no one is in my area on any of them. Don't really have any other alternatives to find one.

And that worked?

All I ever got was single moms and old ladies looking at my profile.

I always found rural was great for dating, just lousy for relationships.
especially those towns with zero population growth(because every time a baby is born a man leaves town).

Oh and the women seeking foodie, wine drinking, dinner party throwing types, is a materialistic woman's way to gauge wealth and social status.
Those aren't cheap hobbies.

As much as it pains me I am starting to think that's the way to go. I know a guy through DCU-Online who lives in my city who was looking for love, and like most of us went from one crappy relationship to another
after his last one he went through his 2 months moping in his bathrobe stage, then he said screw it, now he spends his days playing Xbox and PS4, and for sex he uses tinder and Craigslist intimate encounters.

Like me he would rather be in a loving relationship, but with all the women out there aren't looking for that, they want a corporate merger/business partnership.

So ya, you and him may have the right idea.

I sometimes think I'll end up here too.

Unfortunately, I'm too ugly for Tinder, apparently.

Move to the West Coast, or the Northeast. Bonanza!
