70 miles may be an issue in your area of the country, for some of us that is just next door. For me that is a little over an hour trip, no big deal. If you both have access to transportation, I don't see the problem. As to the ones who don't respond there is no power on earth that can change that.

I am in the same boat. I am living temporarily (6 mos or longer) in the middle of nowhere and the nearest large town is like 60-80 mi away....I joined a few days ago but very slim pickings.

Sometimes there are guys who are also feeling isolated. Met one who lives 11 miles away and one 26 miles away, both were also feeling like they were the last on earth. The bad thing is you better trust them, because it is impossible to keep them from knowing where you live. One of them had been visiting his brother who lived two houses down the street from me a few years ago. Luckily he is a very nice guy and not a concern.

I have the same problem. I see someone I might be interested in and send an icebreaker, but no reply. I have been matched supposedly with 120 matches, but no response. I don't know what to think.

I'm really disappointed with the results I'm getting from eHarmony.

It works the same way on the other side. I've only been here two months. I've gotten a lot of matches, but no interest from those in my immediate area I've sent ice breakers to. The majority of the women who are interested in communicating with me are on a good day with little traffic are over an hour away from me. Throw in some traffic and it could be two or three hours. Still at least I'm getting some interest. I would definitely be getting frustrated with the process if I weren't getting any responses or interest at this.
I've had quite a few matches closed for various reasons. The one
that intrigues me most is the one that says there was something in my profile that turned them off. I get a bit paranoid and wonder if all the other women are going to see the same thing and one day I'll sign on and find all my matches closed..

Heck, I was driving 100 miles for one man and he was retired and had never had kids. I was missing my son's baseball games for this guy and doing all the driving. I won't do it again.

I live at least 4 hrs away from the nearest community (includes a couple of hours of dirt road and a boat ride) and I'm sure this is a problem factor in matching......no one is close, and one of the nearest matches I got, maybe 7 or 8 hrs away, said I was too far away. It makes me chuckle
