I have been dating local as well... BUT.. I have spoken to "men" that claim that they are from my area and they do not know the city. I have lived here for about 2 years now, I may not know everything.. but I do know a good portion of the city. So a word to the wise.. just because they say they are local does not mean that they are.
Ah well, this is where women are generally easier to scam. If I talk to a woman on a dating site I'm trying to get her to meet me. I'm not worrying about getting to know them first or building a connection, or any of that jazz. I know that they know the local area because we're aranging a date after only a few messages, or they are saying no thanks and wishing me luck with what I'm looking for.
I've never had a date with a woman that didn't say that she wanted to meet me after just a few messages. It just doesn't happen. The ones that aren't keen and just want to chat are roadblockers and so are the scammers. They may say that they like me but they make excuses about why they can't just make a date and then it just turns into an argument, which I can't be doing with, so I thank them for the chat and wish them luck with what they're looking for and just arange a date with someone that does want to meet me.
