Online dating in rural area ?

Hello,
Last year, I tried online dating for the first time ever. It didn’t go well – no success at all. Throughout my life, I’ve received a few compliments from girls saying that I look good, so I really hope the issue was with the bad photos I used.

I’m planning to give it another shot soon. This time, I want to buy some new clothes, hire a professional photographer, and get a few great pictures taken. However, there’s one challenge: I live in the countryside. The nearest big city is about 1.5 hours away by car, and it has a population of around 90,000 people.

Do you think all of this effort will be worth it, considering the area I live in? What about upgrading to premium and changing my location say to that city? Could that make a difference? I really do not want to spend few hundreds of dollars and eventually find out that it was unnecessary..

I would not lie on a dating site about your location.

@JoyfulSilence I mean, I do not want to lie about my location. I would just set it to my nearest big city so that I could get more likes/matches.. I live in a quite small country, there are actually bigger cities than my whole country.

Oh, OK. The worry would be that somebody might be interested because she thinks you are close, only to find out your are a long drive away.
