I live in Dawlish, 33 miles from you, and have posted twice but have not had any response.
I am one of the small number of blokes on here which, I guess, puts the ladies off (I think we males make up around 5%-10% of the total registered). I do have a partner of 16 years, so not looking for one. Just friendship. Would be equally happy to meet with a male (although I don't drink alcohol).
A lady in North Devon also posted a couple of weeks ago and also got zero response I think.
I wish you are success in organising a meet-up. Being a long way from family is never easy.
