Ah, the tyranny of DISTANCE...How far would you go to meet an exciting new playmate?

June 09 2014

Living in Nth Queensland, I've struggled with this for a bit. I have fairly wide tastes and an easy going, open attitude when it comes to meeting ladies. BUT....there seems to be a very limited pool of available ladies in my area. Either they:- - have (in my opinion) unrealistically high standards and aren't interested in a guy like me- are only interested in fit young studs to use as sex toys- are just looking to jag a “rich miner” (but then bitch when the knuckle dragging boneheads treat them poorly), or- are fully occupied with the apparent abundance of swingers who are looking for couples and single ladies only.... Brisbane is 1,000km away and next regional centres are 4 hrs drive north and south. I regularly drive the 4 hrs each way to catch up with family and friends and would happily do the same to meet a potential hot casual lover. Seems they all think that isn't sustainable – I disagree. Flying to Brisbane (or beyond) for short breaks is also do-able , but expensive if you luck out. I happened across a similar thread from about a year back buried deep in the 4,975 other topics, and found it both amusing and eye opening! BigOcean – Perth to Sydney to get stood up! Legendary effort mate – hope you used the opportunity to line up a bit of a Plan B! So, what say you, regular posters and newbies alike? How far would you go to hook up and how confident would you need to be to do it?Rocky

    We'd do the 1000kms for the right people. Without that in built known respect and only a maybe connection, 80 mins tops...

    If you have that connection and feel it...go for it I say. I have met people from all over Australia...if I feel safe enough to do so, then why not? It's very very rare for me tho to go 1:1 from an interstate just to have a root or quick shag. For me, it's a huge risk I would be taking and out of my comfort zone. And those I have met on 1:1, have been pretty special in my eyes and because they're worth it. I go more so in a group situations, like Meet and Greets (where I feel safe). I've flown to Sydney..and will again. My meets don't have to be all sexual, the best ones have not been. ;) Foxy PS- Paradise Pair...hummm I just want to kiss and lick your profile pic...it's HOT as!

    Well I don't want anyone local or too far away. A FIFO would be perfect for me. And no I am not just looking to jag a “rich miner” or to be treated poorly. I have met some truly, amazing, SMEXY, hard working men, who are devoted. The fact is, I just like my Independence and personal space too much - I don't want to loose that. Foxy

    Now, I don't live in a remote area but I've been to enough to know what you're saying. However.... points (-) 1,2 & 3.... only serve to make you sounded bitter and jaded..... and if that's your genuine perception (as opposed to how you've written this), then I feel that if you travel across the nation or only across town... the attitude is going to be the biggest hurdle in front of what you're looking for - Posted from rhpmobile

    A long long time ago, I met someone in another site and he travelled to meet me. He lived in UK and visited a few times. It was fairly serious at one point before he found someone a lot closer to home.

    I have travelled to meet people but I generally tack it onto a work trip. Having said that if it was right and hot and all going well I wouldn't have a problem with traveling to meet. But as you said would get expensive. And foxxxy I agree a FIFO would be ideal. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I agree with Miss Bfor the right person i dont have a problem traveling for the right person , or flying them here I live remote, but have no issues traveling anywhere, especially given i work from a laptop so location is not an issue.I think people are too quick to judge on location in this day and age where you can be anywhere in a day. Ii use to travel to perth every month for 18 months with one job so wish i had of discovered RHP given that most of the women seem to be in Perth!!!! .

    Rocky your right in what you say.I currently work not far from you and return to Brissy every 28 days sometimes I was just going stay up here but as you say there's little opportunity to meet women off this site. Miss B has the right idea and if it can be tacked on a work or business trip do it. I am heading to Vic shortly after charing to a lovely lady on line this week. Miss B it's good to hear you had a nice time, at the meet and greet. Must catch up again soon. Rocky Stick at it and expend your search area to interstate. You never know who's out there. CNET.

However if you start letting it affect you too much and it shows outwardly that will only serve to put people off even more. Particularly when you start making assumptions about why you think women are rejecting you and what they really want.

    I would most defiantly travel for the right person, wouldn't have a problem doing it at all..... If I wanted someone bad enough, it felt right and it was planned, I would go wherever I had to, wouldn't let distance stand in the way of something like that, well I wouldn't anyway... 💋 Wanting to do a trip to WA, so many fantastically yummy profiles and I've had a few offers just quietly, shit this is a public forum, I guess that means it's not so quiet now....don't think I'd have enough holidays for the time I'd need in WA to get through my list of yummy profiles but....😈

    I popped down to Tasmania for a blissful 24 hours with a man who I had met once in Melbourne. So I guess its safe to say I'm happy to travel, and actually really enjoy doing so. If you have established a connection prior to the trip then there shouldn't be any surprises and if you can organise it & afford it, well why wouldn't you? If they are really far away then you can both travel and meet in between.

    I suppose that is the biggest drawback of living in a remote area like yourself, a FWB would indeed cost you both a fortune, so I'm sort of thinking it would have to be something special, to keep both parties interested, at the end of the day your probably going to have to meet quite a few people, to find that spark, where you are both at a happy place with the distance.Me... I have had one distance relationshipp 300ks, it wasn't really a problem, with both parties making a effort to meet alternately etc, I had a FWB 200ks away, and we used to meet in the middle, then she moved 1100 ks away, we have met up since the big move but it has been rare.....For me, it has to be something special to make the distance thing work, a FB wouldn't probably be a good enough reason !

    But I would seriously not travel more than 15 minutes from where I am to meet someone... There are too many variables that mean it may not work and I am time poor. Given that fact I sometimes visit places for conferences or collaborations so then it's in a 15 min radius from that place... Hmm given I can navigate the trains/public transport... I am really bad at that :/ I am not in any of those categories you mentioned ;) Xxviolet

    If I had to ALWAYS do the travelling to see someone AND it's not returned...Nah forget it. I look for equal time travel. It's gotta be equally shared I reckon. As well as that if someone went out of their way to spend time with me, it says to me they are into me. And yes if we liked each other, then it would be returned. :) Foxy

    Thanks LD and Mischievious Rocky Well done Rocky.... you got what we meant... instead of puffing out the chest in defensive attack as many others would. I still say attitude gets you further than anything else. If a woman said to me..... "“So, which mine do you work at?”..my reply would be.... "why, you any good with a shovel?" And if she said ..."how much do you earn again?”..Id reply with ...."enough..... but stop thinking about my wallet..... its in my pants and you're not getting into my pants without buying me a drink first". All responses with a devil-may-care straight face attitude.See what Im saying? These women are testing you. Now... the good thing about a test is that it suggests she's at least somewhat interested... until you kill off any attraction. Or... you can build it. The right attitude, is attractive.All the money in the world will not compensate for boring as bats hit, or flawed character. And frankly, if I were wealthy enough for people to notice, Id hate having to question if someone liked me for me, or for my wallet. DG

    While living in remote Qld, I would travel over 300 kms to Mackay or Rockhampton.. and never regretted it.. In saying that, those towns were full of single, hot men looking for a night of steamy sex... It's like a smorgasbord, take your pick lol Now I live near Albany WA, where there is an incredible lack of decent, single men... I prefer not to travel, as being a FIFO worker, my time at home is very valuable.. but I have travelled to Perth recently for a fantastic night with a gorgeous man... so yes unfortunately, if I wish to find quality men when the urge strikes, I will once again have to travel..

    For not having read the entire thread... I'm a bit time poor. Not talking direct to anyone, but the type of comment about not traveling more than 15 mins for a meet... I think has a lot more to do with your gender than being "time poor" or any other excuse... It's a bout having a vagina, and therefore being "rhp hot"... Therefore "I don't NEED to travel more than 15 mins" It's like sharing costs for dinner and rooms... A lot of women can, will and do split these costs, but there is a minority that don't. Hp xo💋 Because you're worth it...

  • Violetincredible

    I always share the costs of meets... Sometimes I pay for them in full. But I have my children full time, none of my family in Perth, my children are 5,6 and 7 years old. I hold down 2 jobs, I publish writing, run my own business and generally am trying to get performances organised and on stage. When I have time for sex it is generally a 30 minute window of opportunity... Unless I get myself to a party or club... So no it is not about being "rhp hot" it is about why I am on rhp in the first place. I am only explaining myself because "you are worth it" :) Xxviolet

    I meet someone off RHP who was keen on meeting me, I could gone either way but was curious enough about them/the scene to organise a meet. I picked the day, time and place and this was just “within a 15min radius”. First it started with them altering the time on the day – “Can’t make it 7:30pm, can we make it 8:30pm”. I went with it...later “Can’t make it 8:30pm can we make it 9pm” Ok... so they finally arrive at 9:15pm. Great start huh? From there though “I” thought it all went fairly well but I suspect that as “Hp” said this RHP woman with the mighty ratio of men to women on her side wasn’t blown away by me. After the meet they didn’t even feel it necessary to reply to any future correspondence just out of common courtesy. I’m not going to get upset if a person doesn’t want to meet again, just exercise basic social skills people geez. Guys, we are disposable in woman eyes and many of them don’t respect us at all. The willingness to travel great distances to meet women does nothing to help our cause in terms of being respected. Don’t put yourself out - don’t travel great distances, don’t let them keep changing the plans, if they cancel on you don’t try to meet them again and finally go with your gut feeling! I didn’t follow my own advice and look what happened. P.S. I know you’ll read this person I meet, just know that your type put guys off meeting woman at all.

    Thank you for your reply violet, but I really wasn't directing my comments at you, you were saying something that I have heard many women say... that they only meet within a 15 min radius. I doubt that many of them have the validity of you and your situation. I travelled over 2000km for a meet once... And she was 2 hours late !! But then again there was nowhere to go, so I waited... Lol... Glad I did... She's a lovely lady, and she didn't split the bill, she shouted, I was her guest... But I did my best to pay my way... 😎 Violet, I was thinking of picking up Tantatless and doing a road trip over west, try to show the young fella the joys of meeting quality people... But I think we'll need a better window than 1/2 hr... 😋😋 what do you think ? Hp xo💋 Because you're worth it...
