if thye could just simply say they live in central or northern va or give the county they live in it would help in making a decision if it is worth contacting this person.
Greetings yourmaleslavetoy (and from here on out I'm going to call you 'your' unless you give us a name to work with),
I can certainly appreciate your dilemna and frustration. I wonder, however, if you are only seeing it from your own perspective. Aside from the usual reasons some don't give a more specific location (trying to be discrete among them) it's possible that some people don't WANT to be contacted by someone who is unable/ unwilling to do a little traveling; or they don't want to be contacted by people who wouldn't take the time to find out?
If you're finding that you don't wish to contact people that are that far away then why not assume anyone who puts 'Virginia' alone in their profile is either too far away or doesn't want to be contacted, then move on. It will save you the wasted time and frustration and would be significantly easier than trying to get everyone else (I think we're over 20,000 members now) to do it your way.
Granted, it's going to limit your potential playing field but that sounds better to me than pissing in the wind, don't you agree? Alternately you could buck up and spend some time getting to know people here on the boards with a 'meeting' as a secondary goal; you might be surprised at how responsive people can be when someone has taken the time to get to know them. You might also be surprised at how getting to know someone can enrich your life even if it's not in the way you hoped.
Enjoy your time here and welcome again.
