I have read many of these profiles and so many say they want a man within a 100 miles. If this is what you're looking for why don't you just run a ad in the local newspaper.
There are many great guy that would meet all you ideas and wants but they live more than a 100 miles away.
To me the women that want a man with in 100 miles is really not looking but just here for a game.
So many may say that...but not all!! From my own experience as well...when i first joined on it did not seem to matter much where they were located...now it does play a big part...if i think that no matter how great the connection is there, the chances of us meeting up is slim and next to none...so then i am not only wasting my time, but theirs as well. I think its very responsible of the women to give a distance...because that is what they are prepared to handle to encourage the relationship...if a man wants more then it would be up to him to convince her the distance would not matter...but at least he can't blame her for not putting that "extra" effort that long distance relationships require..into it... Just my two cents...
it does not matter how far away your are,if you fall in love and that love is stronger enough to bring you togther.it is like the old saying "meet me in the middle" in other words find the common ground that both of you share and let it bring you togther
That's a crock. There's those little things called MONEY! And a JOB! And KIDS to take care of. If I thought I could just jet set across the world to meet someone, I would have already done it for myself in the form of VACATION!
Kinda like the "living on love" theory. Sounds delicious and all, but I still wanna eat.

I'm gonna doo doo and step over in it here, I reckon. Conventional wisdom goes out the window here, I think. The odds of keeping a relationship alive where you live 100 MILES apart is about the same as 1000 miles apart. Some folks can travel, or find a way to make it happen..Odds are stacked against you, I'll admit that, but I do believe it can happen. I'd travel to meet someone that I thought might be "the one". But, that's just me.
A few years back I flew 600 miles. On another occasion I drove 2 days. Was it worth it ? I never would have been able to answer that question if I hadn't made the trips. Paws
Wait a minute! what the heck is wrong with looking for something close enough to be realistic? some of us have lives...can't just take off and run around the world for a chance. some of us have responsibilites that come first, always. mouths to feed...little ones that need clothes...as well as company.
but hey, just one thing to help you weed out the "not the one's" for you, right?

Nothing against you personally but your post really irritates me.
I know what love feels like from 3,000 miles away and how extremely hard it is. So for someone "Anyone" to look for love within 100 miles is their choice and not yours.
You say run an ad in the paper? Is this not basically the same thing as that ad in the paper only with triple the exposure?
This thread from you will get you quite alot of exposure. Is that your intention, your game?
I really find a long distance relationship hard to maintain...and sometimes its not just about the money or responsibilities and such (though that does contribute) but there were times when i REALLY NEEDED that person...but what can you do when you're 1000 miles away..yes i could get on a flight tomorrow maybe, maybe the next day...but my need for my partner was THAT MOMENT..it has brought home the fact that though i have not discounted those that live a distance for me..to be more prepared for how much LONLIER a person can feel when they love someone...but that person is just beyond their reach...
