Is distance that much of a factor?

So - forums are slow. My work afternoon is now dull. Because who actually goes to work to work right?

Do you feel distance is that much of an off put to you? So say an individual was travelling through your area for 1 week at a time every month. Would you consider meeting with them

Regularly?

Or because their home location is far away from you - it’s off putting?

Distance is not a consideration for the right person who I have already built a rapport with.

Good man - how did that come about? Strike up a convo through messages? Or in a club?

Distance depends on the connection for me... we do tend to spend the whole day and night together though to make the most of our meet.

Unfortunately yes, I’ve very little free time and travel a lot so when trying to arrange things, I try and keep the traveling within reason, maybe a few hours

"We're lazy fabbers so definitely is for us. "

For me - I wouldn’t travel more than 30-40 miles for a meet.

But I’m often based remotely for work a week at a time. In the same location monthly - so it may even warrant me changing my location to connect with individuals.

I think if you have a connection with someone then the distance doesn’t have to be an issue. And if someone was in your area once a month or so then no reason you couldn’t make it work.

Yeah pretty much the same for me. Because of shift work and hours etc I only really have one weekend out of three available if I'm going to be travelling a long way so it just takes planning.

Depends. I was adamant I wouldn’t travel more than an hour for anyone. That’s all changed now. We said we’d probably only be able to see each other once a month. It been 3 times a week a few times . Totally depends who it is and what you’re looking for I think.

If someone travelled regularly and consistently it wouldn't be an issue.

It comes to the fact people usually only want one-offs and I'm not looking for that.

Many will say everything they think I want to hear. That they would visit regularly but the distance is tedious for them becomes more of a chore in the end.

When I used to have my inbox open I would get many messages from guys saying they were in the area working locally for a short while or passing through, I'm just plain not interested in being a hook up.

I met with one guy who worked in the area 2 days a month but he was only interested in one-offs when he had no one else interested. Messages months later after no communication asking if I fancy going his hotel, lol not a chance been there had the piss taken. Once bitten twice shy so to speak.

I have a few companions I see every now and then and known them over 2.5 years if it wasn't for distance and available free time I'd see them more often.

Distance will always be a factor for fwb/fb/playmates/companions.

Hookups it's just like a trip away change of scenery so people are happy to make one off visits over distance. But regularly it's less likely.

I do social only 1st meets its a long way to visit for a social. Many say it would be worth it, but to me it's not because they agree social but they always end up trying to make it worth their visit. I've even considered making it 2 social visits before sex if someone wants a regular playmate then they wouldn't mind making sure we're compatible. I want to make sure they are genuine so the distance and the socials would be off putting to anyone disingenuous

I regularly travelled to Leicester to meet a lady and she would travel to Wales.

It worked well for about 4 months until our work schedules interfered with it and we sadly fizzled out.

So no distance isn't an issue if you both want it enough.

Distance puts me off, as does the 'I'm here once a week' thing.

If I get the urge, I wanna fulfill it pretty much right away, not have to wait for a specific night, or to wait hours for someone to turn up.

We travel great distances to meet the right people but we usually tie it in with w/e in the camper van when we can. The problem is who are the right people? You would you have to be sure they were the right people to travel 250 miles say. If we seem to get on then we would but if didn't work out we'd go off and do something else. Most get very angry and demand they get recompense or their time and puts a lot of people off travelling understandably

I mean that could be very much the picture - but due diligence should always be done for a meet of distance!

I couldn’t think of anything worse than prep’n for a meet & then driving the distance only to get stood up or the person not be what you expected.

I've never expected anyone to travel, I put everything bluntly and honestly. If they wish to insist after thats up to them.

I've had playmates from 100+ miles away visit regular but I've never expected them to. Life changes which have brought things to an end or someone does something stupid or just drifted apart.

One companion came every 2 weeks for 3 days via trains from 135 miles away for months. Some people are genuine it's just hard to find them amongst the rest who aren't.

I can't drive which is why I accommodate I'm happy to provide them with food, drinks and such like home from home. Least I can do for a welcomed guest who makes the effort to come and spend time with me. But it's making sure the person is trustworthy for them to visit my home in the first place.

Having to mess about making arrangements is just too much fuss. I kind of irks me that when I tell guys they are too far away they almost always reply with 'I can travel'! Well of course you can travel, most people can!

I much prefer the convenience of meeting local people, it makes making short notice meetings easier and if we make a connection and want to make it a regular thing it makes life so much easier.

If I liked someone, wanted to spend time with them, then distance isn't a barrier.

Not for us but that's because we don't want one offs & we've learnt that keeping someone happy on here leading to a meet can be difficult as it's then you find whether their heart is really in it.

But our last long distance visitor stayed for two days so at least if they travel to us we try to make it worthwhile.

Passing through though? not sure, maybe if as you say OP it's a regular thing. But you should never be the "I'm working in the area" you should be the reason they want to travel, should you not??

I mean that’s true - if you’re popping up & saying I’m in the area for work people will assume it’s a one time thing.

But in reality I’m just chasing someone to keep me company when my nights are lonely away. Eating - drinking - sleeping alone for a week in a place you aren’t as familiar with is nice - but company is even nicer

Travelling is pretty much essential for me as I live in Northern Ireland. That said, catching planes to the mainland is as easy as hopping on a bus for me. Hire a car and I'm sorted. Flights can be had for as little as 17 quid and take an hour!

Thus I can fly in and out of pretty much any mainland airport quickly and cheaply.

For the right regular person it would be my pleasure to travel.

I can't travel far, I can't afford it.

I feel bad that I can't travel, so struggle with idea that someone is prepared to travel to me.

I'd feel more comfy if they were round here, passing through for work.

Less pressure to be the person they have built you up to be, less pressure to perform sexually.

Then I realised I was just being silly and am sometimes persuaded to break my rule, for the right people.

I'd be prepared to travel up to an hour away but no more as I lack free time. That free time could be spent with someone more local.

We would definately accommodate this depending on the connection.

We would also go out our way to meet the person or persons deliberately to see them in the right circumstances.

For the right person distance is just a minor obstacle that's quite easily overcome. The journey back also give you plenty of time to relive the best bits

I travel for 5 hours on public transport each way to see my OH. It's a pain but worth it and it wont be for much longer.

I should add the distance not the relationship wont be for long

Probably would be for us once we get to that point. The reason being we have very little free time and sometimes can't get away till evening anyway so sometimes a long commute isn't even an option.

Make them travel to you.

Distance can be a pain, but I don't mind travelling for the right couple or single lady.

I'm abit undecided right now.

I dont like the pressure if someone travels a long way for a social. I like to meet someone for a coffee/drink or meal etc

then go my own way.

I'm happy to meet people who are passing through for a social if we've spoken for sometime before or from the forums.

I cant travel very far maybe upto an hr due to my commitments at home. So as I'm looking for something with longevity I'm not sure it's fair on them.

I travel all over the UK with my job and when staying in an area I message women and if I'm lucky to get a reply, it's allways no because I'm not a local man.

Travel is not an issue for the right person that you have that connection with

Anyone I meet I’ve talked to previously for a while so you just know the connection and chemistry is there already, my meets are normally a day come overnighter so no need to rush anything the first time.

Some I’ve met just for a drink as they were local but I found the connection wasn’t there, probably because we hadn’t took the time to see beforehand

By the time the first drink has gone down - you pretty much know if the person will even be fun enough to entertain all night never mind have sex with

Never found distance a problem in the past. Always been willing to go that extra mile

Depends on how you define distance. For some forty/fifty miles is too far, and that's just around the block for me. Personally, I don't think ninety minutes/ two hours on a train is a strenuous journey, although some people are limited by time factors also.

Once you're getting into the hundreds of miles, well...it would have to be worth it. I would always go the extra mile for someone I clicked with.

I'm lucky that I travel lots but I find a lot of women won't meet visitors to there area(even though with me it's often every month throughout the year)

I guess it could be a polite way of saying thanks but no thanks

As a one off adventure, distance wouldn't be a problem. But it wouldn't work in with the rest of my life, so yes, it would be an issue

Once a month would be damn good going for us. Life means I can't travel so I've often thought it was an issue.

However, I have been proved wrong. He is miles away and is happy to travel to london. It's as and when we can but it works for us.

If I could travel to him i would, I love a long train ride

"So - forums are slow. My work afternoon is now dull. Because who actually goes to work to work right?

Do you feel distance is that much of an off put to you? So say an individual was travelling through your area for 1 week at a time every month. Would you consider meeting with them

Regularly?

Or because their home location is far away from you - it’s off putting?

"

many will delete your message based on distance, many will even block you based on distance

Distance is a funny thing because it’s more the travelling time that’s the problem. Eg; I live in Southampton and someone could live in Dorchester (40 miles) and it take me the same time to drive there as if they lived in Bristol (60 miles)

Where I live it's a huge thing, and yes I love to travel and have adventures but ... messages from guys "here for work" or "on my hols" is tantamount to "I want sex now but won't pay for a prostitute" so it's always a no go situation and that's the same with all the ladies down here that I've spoken to. So yes travelling to meet someone that you have a fantastic rapport with is awesome but meeting because you're staying here doesn't work for me at all. Meeting for socials is different though ...

This is a good point, We get "Your only sixty miles from Cardiff" But it takes between two & two half hours to do that sixty miles!. You could pretty much do Cardiff to London in that time.
