why is finding genuine local people so hard?

Hi guys, We've been on here for a few months now and initially really keen and hopeful. But over the weeks that has diminished a bit. Considering how many couples profiles are out there, finding genuine people within reasonable distance seems just too hard. Out of all couples profiles, maybe 10% is verified..... now tell me, how hard is it to get verified???? So why don't most bother with it? We've had message ping pong on several occasions with "couples" wanting more pics, better pics, hotter pics..... yet somehow fail to deliver any decent pics of themselves together..... that gets one thinking. So we're now suss initially of most unverified couples. Especially since verifying only takes a couple of minutes....And location...... "Melbourne" is a big city.... We dont feel like travelling across the city to meet up with a couple that might not even be who they say they are..... And despite sending messages off on occasion asking for a more exact location, it would be nice if more couples would specify their location a bit more. If for privacy reasons you dont want to mention your suburb, at least mention a nearby suburb.... I would narrowing down potential couples for a meet so much easier! Anyway, we'll give it some more time, who knows, the right couple might spot US!Cheers
