Contact restrictions (5)

Are you kidding me? It is 18 miles to my nearest Walmart. 44 to my nearest hospital. In these United States, where cities and towns are scattered so far apart, how can you expect to meet anyone new within 20 miles. I commuted 55 miles one way to work for 20 years. I'm just stunned by the number of people that put 30 miles or less on the contact criteria. If the man of your dreams lived that close, chances are you already have seen him a dozen times at the gas station. It is a big country with big states. You might want to venture out past your back yard if you are truly looking. -

If she replies back, you can continue messaging her without having to go back and forth with the zip code again. -

Jun 1, 2024 10:13 PM UTCIt actually makes sense for some people. Most people want to meet for something simple the first time. 20 miles can be over an hour drive in some cities and people don't want to drive for over an hour each way for a cup of coffee.
