Maybe they figure that if a strong enough connection is formed online it’ll be worth the drive to meet up, at least at the halfway, 75 mile mark. When I met my late husband online, we lived 200 miles apart.

Probably cuz their not finding any women closer then that and expanding their range?

I've never used online dating apps thank God but I'm seeing a trend big time where guys just can't find woman these days or they just giving up.in general

Maybe they heard inspiring stories of couples who narrowed the distance when they lived on different continents. Like from me maybe

Many have found their long distance love

Maybe because they don't want to meet you in RL, but are interest in chatting?

Bc your profile is just a few keystrokes away online.

Make them drive. It weeds out their real interest…🤣
