Small towns

April 01 2016

So at around 80,000 people, Hervey Bay doesn't seem that small compared to some, However i was wondering how do others who live in smaller towns deal with meeting people for fun or even relationships ? I'm finding it hard meeting people as i do live in a small town, and cant host at my house as i have a housemate who is a bit funny with people coming over. Does anyone have some tips that they have used or know of to help. I will be moving to a bigger city in about 6 months which will be a huge help.. Flirty

    Try a pop of twenty. Does somewhat limit potential play mates. Makes rhp very attractive.

    hey chickie, I used to live in Hervey, and generally met with people from out of town rather than locals but purely a personal preference as I was still cohabitating with my exhusband and so couldn't host and well it was more fun to pick a midway spot like a BnB etc and make a weekend of it Good luck - Posted from rhpmobile

I have just started a new job and wont be able to travel much in the next 3 months, which makes it hard to arrange travel times :(

    But I'm close to larger towns, a stones throw from Ballarat (100,000), not too far (1hr) from Bendigo (same at 100,000). But they are still drastically under represented on some sites, so I spend most of my social (and work) time in a slightly larger town called Melbourne :) I've found using some avenues where people search by proximity (eg Tinder), to be a case of "don't bother"! :P

    Well it seems that if your male housemate gets a bit funny with other males around then he may have an attraction to you here, so simply put...you have to drive an meet someone.

    Living in a non-capital city is a problem. In the 18 months I have been on here I have only ever met one local lady, the rest have been out of town, mostly that I met when travelling for work. I am up in Mackay for the next week right now and haven't had any success. Much of that is the difficulty any solo male has on here, but there are just not many ladies looking for casual encounters (actually, not that many looking for any encounters!). I have met ladies in a nearby city Rockhampton which has a bigger population (near, as in 100km away) which works well, feels a lot safer for discretion. Plus I know a nice motel there where the rooms each have a king sized bed and a spa. :) It has been a little tense hooking up locally because we don't want friends and family finding out. Several times I have booked a local motel so my car won't be noticed on the street all night, plus room service is handy. OP, as a female you have all the power in casual hook-ups. If your partner can't host at his home, get him to book a motel room. Otherwise maybe get a panel van so you can just jump into the back when the mood strikes :)

    Well I live in one of the towns CT spoke of and even though there is over 100,000 since being here if I search in my town/city it takes one page of searching before the active members disappear. A shame as it would have been nice to find a friend close by.

    We moved out of Sydney back to small town of 3500, deleted our pics and just leave our profile saying we live in sydney. To be fair we only play when in sydney every other month or so now so it's not too much of a lie. But for sure everyone is all over everyone's business here. - Posted from rhpmobile

    If you're planning to move, then why not connect with people who live in the same area you're planning to move to? I tend to not meet people who live in or near the same town most of the time due to living in a small town where everyone knows everyone and they love to talk and speculate on what they think is going on. It's the reason my face pic is in a private gallery as well. As I travel to Melbourne regularly, I prefer to network with other RHPers who live in that area.

    We have a nearby small town listed on our profile which is an hour away but the closest town we want to be associated with. Our actual so called township if you could call it that has a population of 12 and 4 of then work for me lol We normally travel to Melbourne or Sydney to meet people but have for the first time thought lets bring some of the city folk up our way, so we put together a wine tour, lunch and a dinner party which is next weekend with 12 awesome couples J & C

    I live in a small town of about 2000 and would never meet anyone from here lol. I live about an hour and a half from Brisbane so I arrange to meet guys from there or sunny coast. Much broader choice of guys that way. 😉 - Posted from rhpmobile

    I tend to agree with everyone, traveling seems to the way to go. Just will have to work around my new job :)

    There are 300 ppl in my town... 10,000 in the next biggest town. While it limits my chances of meeting local like minded RHP people, it let's me host some seriously fun times.. Given lemons? Make lemonade for the ladies, add vodka and several seriously good men up to the challenge ;-) - Posted from rhpmobile
