THIS isn't a dating app?
I knew I was in the wrong place.
It can be, lol. I did actually date someone from here (long-distance) for about 5 or so months, first person I dated after my separation.
define long distance? lol
This is a good question. Really. Dating apps put people who are like minded but far apart readily together. Making it seem like a compatible relationship...in 2018 how does distance play into Dating? How far apart is everyone here willing to "reach" for love/hookups/whatever your bag is.1 -

Lets see, just outside of Columbus Ohio to Halifax NS (about 2,200 km/1400 miles). We only managed to see each other in person 3-4 times,4-7 days at a time
that is a long distance and OH EM GEE. I never find anyone thats only 2 hrs from me! I am in Cincy. Nevermind, shes the one close to me LOL
I dated a coworker in Halifax.
Yes, thats rough2 -

Now I only look for women within 60km from me, though I am sure I would be okay with further, if they contacted me first and we hit it off1 -

Most women I meet are looking for a security blanket and to be 100% honest, if you weren't here to help me earn and achieve it then why in the hell would I want you around, especially if you aren't going to contribute to it or be exactly what I want in a woman.
I'm in my 50s too but I'm fat and I don't think you'd want to smooch me or buy me fried chicken with rice and beans with your multiple incomes. We could never lie down on the couch together, or in the back seat of one of your many vehicles, and discuss 70s film and 80s hairdos. Dammit. What if I wear eyeliner and a girdle and spritz with some Summer's Eve? What if I lie and tell you I own instead of rent? What's the harm. Oh well. I'll just have to settle for daydreaming, fantasizing about men like you and all the joy and depth of emotion I'll never share with you.
Come here you. I'll buy you some fried chicken and we can get a bigger couch to eat that fried chicken and ice cream on.1 -
My first husband and I split up in 2012. I'm a shift worker and refused to date co-workers/officers so I went online "Zoosk". This dating site originated on Facebook. It's the app where my younger brother met his lovely wife. With my background in policing, I was easily able to weed out the "losers and fraudsters". I met my second husband on this site and we've been together for over 5 years now.7

Well I began, with a 10 mile radius; simply because I rely, upon public transportation! Unbeknownst at the time to me though the 1st man that I took an interest within was only 3 miles, 1 bus distance, the bus stop was literally next to his house & I'd pass it every week going grocery shopping, which he also resides closest to but he dislikes me!
A man, via the Bronx; visited my profile upon Okcupid & he was interesting enough for me to seriously consider him, so I made the difficult decision; to seek within the continental US! However as we were within the midst, of us discussing my coming to see him; he ghosted me!
I'd never, consider long distance; for sex but I'd consider sex, if he's unable to build a relationship normally; like he's a military man & transferring's a constant issue but my only aim's a relationship!1 -

Wow, bitter much? I am happy that you will never share anything with me...I feel like I need a shower with gasoline and steel wool just reading your dribble.4 -

I would say an hr'ish drive.
That would give us the weekends to see each other.
Makes it also not impossible to have a week night dinner.1 -
If you find out please let me know.0

"attacked" "point of view" "Ignorance"

Buffalo nickel says you get a half dozen DMs just from posting that little tidbit of info right there.
Actually nope not a single one. I didn't post that to get DMs, I was being honest and sharing my point of view.
I'm sure your profile at least got a lot more hits today.0 -
Okay we're all singles here from very different walks of life and with different values. Let's be friends, seriously. I appreciate you all, even if I wouldn't have sex with you maybe. My comment was tongue in cheek and (I thought) equally self deprecating as it was sarcastically obnoxious. No harm, no foul, please. I was just throwing a curve ball instead of an easy pitch. Us bitter 50 something year old fatty gals are good at that and we love it. Let us have our simple pleasures. But also, let's keep this thread going and not get it shut down. Sorry if I offended.
I regret responding the way I did, I didn't read it the way you intended it to be read. I certainly didn't mean to come off as high and mighty or braggadocious. I too am sorry if I offended anyone with my comments.4
