The more users that actually post to that sub, the shorter the distance between one another will become.  The reason, as you said, that it's more long distance currently than Tinder or POF is because it lacks that userbase. The only way to improve on that is to get more people posting. Like I said in my OP though, I actually already know of at least 2 of the posts on that sub actually resulting in people meeting in person and getting along well, so it's been at least somewhat successful so far. I think several more have, as you put it, been talking fairly casually online. Either way, I want to see this community grow and encourage more interaction within this userbase. The online dating community sucks, let's at least make an effort to pave our own way since we all (mostly) want the same thing. Edit: Also, just as an added point: The quantity of Tinder users may be higher than what's on the fph board, but the quality most ce  766  rtainly isn't. I myself have already been talking with and encountered much better people through Voat/FPH than I have through those services.
