I've spent a good ten years on just about every online dating site there is, with zero luck. These past few days I've spent a lot of my vacation watching HGTV about home renovation, finding homes/rentals, etc. And what struck me is that all the couples on these shows do NOT want to live in the suburbs, they are always looking for something in the city. There was one particular scene I recall where this couple were walking with their new baby down their subdivision complaining "this place is so lifeless." This has made me wonder, if its my location that was working against me all these years.
I moved here from the midwest 22 years ago, and the first thing that struck me was the mentality that "if its more than ten minutes away, its too far." Contrast that to where I'm from, you have to drive an hour to get anywhere. When I'm walking around the city on my lunch break I see lots of nice looking men...and I always ask why don't they ever show up on these dating sites? Is it because these men are not willing to travel more than ten minutes to find their mate?
Unfortunately I can't just move to the city for numerous reasons. I'm just wondering if I'm onto something here...
Thoughts?
