Laugar164 - not just the ladies. Some of us chaps are in that position too. If the share of work is divided equally then the men will be looking after the kids too. Even teens need taking to after school clubs, doctors appointments and so forth, and the dinner won't cook itself. Mrs SirrahNek works, I work, we share the house and cajoling the kids to do their bloody homework. So distance needs to be measured in "whatever I can get away with for my hobby" or "I've just got to attend this meeting" miles. But enjoy your ear worm - it's a banger!

Cheryl Kim - Yes. Exactly.

Too often it is assumed a woman goes into this able to meet whenever the man flies into town. You are right in saying that we also juggle the role of wife, mother, caregiver, and can never afford to be too far away should we need to be with our loved ones in an emergency.

I'd say you are probably wrong there mileage and travel does matter especially for the ladies as they may have children and a house to run
no
Lady would want to be to far away with the possibility of there child getting ill and the possibility of getting sent home from school or nursery

Distance is measured in miles and they are easily travelled. If you click with someone, then travel is a non issue.

In the background I think I hear The Proclaimers now.......😁

Having an IE in another part of the country, where you travel to regularly, has been good for me in the past. Its not a case of just looking for a hookup it can be the only time you get to be out without arousing suspicions at home. It also ensures you won’t accidentally bump into each other when out and about with our partners
I have found my IE partners has been good with the distance and its much more important to build mutual trust to enable a connection to develop. When that happens it can be a great experience.

Edward 1260…

In the words of yourself ‘you are a newbie ‘…you haven’t tried this as yet ?..
You know what they say about the best laid plans ?😞

I look at the feasibility of meeting whilst travelling to family who live 170 miles away from me. I can add on a stop to accomodate. Mind you, not achieved it yet as I am a newbie but that is my plan to deal with this. I also travel 125 return miles on a trip to work 3 times a week so potentially I can meet someone within this radius. That’s part of my thinking.

I travel a lot with work so I can be flexible
What in not looking for for is a lady in every port as suggested by the poster I personally want a connection and a long term affair I believe he to know someone better will enhance each others experience of having an affair , so please don't tarnish me with the same brush because I can travel

Or met anyone as yet but would love to meet someone closer to West Yorkshire

For me, more local is preferred as I'm travelling via bus or train, although I don't mind meeting partway. Guys say they travel with work and can meet, but I can see this might not always work out if anyone is wanting to meet regularly. There's also the issue of last minute cancellations when distance is involved, which is annoying when I've started my journey.
For me, personally, nearer is better, but not with someone from my town in case things don't end well.
