On line dating/sex services

I never quite understand why I get 'Hits" and nice comments from marvelous people that live thousands of miles away; and then get "Hits" from not so marvelous people locally. I think I need to move to New York, or Florida, or out of California, travel for business, or become a flight attendant to meet these people (LOL). This is an exaggeration. I have met some great people locally, but the out of area ones still seem to out number.
