Why dating close to home runs out
Add up every incorporated city and town within 30 miles of Moyie Springs and you get 2 places with about 3,700 people between them, not counting Moyie Springs itself. Within 60 miles it's 20 places and about 31,000 people. Those totals count incorporated places only, so people outside city limits would add to them, but the point stands: an app that starts with whoever lives closest builds your options from a small circle, so you keep seeing the same few profiles.

Why Sandpoint is out of reach for you on the big apps
Dating in Moyie Springs is hard, and meeting someone in Sandpoint can be harder. Many dating apps lean on distance to decide who you see, and Tinuiti's analysis of Tinder's algorithm says proximity is a key factor in who it shows you. Sandpoint is 35 miles away and has about 11,000 people, and most of the people there live nearer to each other than to you. When someone in Sandpoint opens a distance-ranked app, their own neighbors come first, so you land behind them in their deck whatever your photos and profile say.
Sandpoint has about 8 times as many people as Moyie Springs, so a member from Moyie Springs is outnumbered there roughly 8 to 1 before the ranking even starts. There are 14 other incorporated places closer to Sandpoint than Moyie Springs is, with about 17,000 people between them, and they tend to come ahead of you in Sandpoint's deck.
On Amarbis, ranking isn't based on distance. Choose Idaho as your region and Sandpoint is in your pool with everyone else in Idaho, so you aren't placed behind the person's next-door neighbor because of where you live.
