I got one from the US yesterday. 4,000 miles away. To be fair he was complimenting my pic, but I do wonder why others who are the other end of the country message me for a meet. My profile states quite clearly why I prefer local meets.
I wonder, do you think they didn't read my profile? |

Just thought I'd a different angle on this one...
I do totally understand where distance can mean no chance of a meet and a waste of time.
However, I travel world wide with my work, and with the UK being such a small island, realistically getting from one end to the other isn't too difficult. I think it's more to do with whether the person messaging the other has the real desire and means to do so.... Or just a pic collector. |

A lot of people travel a fair amount, so a few hundred miles may be nothing to them. It's helpful if they state that in a message, so you realise you're not wasting your time.
I get to Scotland once a year or so, but it's a vast country. Newcastle, London and Manchester frequently: though Newcastle is further, and it would seem like I'm not a potential partner for those there. When I'm away, some company with locals is a great way to spend spare time. But, for those looking for very frequent regular meets, it's less appropriate. |

I'm quite selective, those on my friends list are people I'm interested in meeting that I chat with.
Majority live 100+ miles away and its my intention to travel when we are available.
If I'm free and can afford it and a hotel I'm happy to do so  |

"I can understand if they are people you regularly chat to & have a meet planned but a random message from someone miles away.
What's the point?

Establishing contact first and see what it leads...Id travel the world for Rachel Rhoo  |

I suppose every regular chat and planned meet starts from a random message. |

"I've never seen the point of someone from say Scotland messaging me as with the distance we are unlikely to meet
Am I missing something?"
I get a lot of guys from down south messaging. I wouldn't expect anyone to travel hundreds of miles to meet me. |

If I am travelling anyway, or they are, I have no problem with messages. Meets have been arranged. But a message on spec from someone you know won't be anywhere nearby is just pointless. I just tell them if they ever visit York to get in touch. I never hear from them again.  |

True!! A message from someone miles away that tells me they travel a lot for work & will be in my area on X dates & would I like to meet for a coffee is all good. But not many say that  |

We have met a few guys from Scotland who messaged us . This occurred as they travel with work and from making initial contact they later messaged when nearer for a meet  |

Is it all about meeting though ?
Plenty of messages I send and receive are just conversations with people I'm not likely to meet, but just enjoy banter with  |
