Why dating close to home runs out
Add up every incorporated city and town within 30 miles of Everson and you get 8 places with about 155,000 people between them, not counting Everson itself. Within 60 miles it's 24 places and about 377,000 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 Lynden is out of reach for you on the big apps
Dating in Everson is hard, and meeting someone in Lynden 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. Lynden is 5 miles away and has about 17,000 people, and a lot of the people there live closer to the person you'd like to meet than you do. When someone in Lynden opens a distance-ranked app, their own neighbors come first, so you land behind them in their deck whatever your photos and profile say.
Lynden has about 5 times as many people as Everson, so a member from Everson is outnumbered there roughly 5 to 1 before the ranking even starts.
On Amarbis, ranking isn't based on distance. Choose Washington as your region and Lynden is in your pool with everyone else in Washington, so you aren't placed behind the person's next-door neighbor because of where you live.
