Why does dating seem exceptionally difficult in Kamloops?

[u/Dudebro_dope]

I’ve lived in Kamloops for 6yrs now and while I like many things about living here, I’ve had nothing but annoyance and wasted time when it comes to dating. I’m a financially well off male, 38, have a house, healthy and have no real glaring issues working against me. I’ve joined many different activities in town and stay active. The people in the groups are surface friendly but they all seem to be cliquey and old friends. The apps are just abysmal, I regularly get matches but the conversation fizzles out, no one will commit to meeting or it’s avoidant type women who want online pen pals. It’s a complete desert.

I’ve lived in Europe, South America, Calgary, Vancouver, Van Island and travelled extensively. All of them had better dating markets. I really don’t want to make a drastic move and consider myself a resilient person, but facing being along forever in Kamloops is pretty depressing, especially in the winter.
