Many many reasons...

I've gotten to the age where people are professionals and advanced in their careers, they seek similarly advanced people, I'm a loser working in a factory... I'm pretty worthless in just about every way you could measure anyway, but even still, I live too far from people my age. It got so insanely overpriced in the last 5+ years that most people leave that don't already own a home or are rich.

No one in their right mind is going to travel, or bother with me traveling to them, when they have so many better options closer to them especially since dating apps exist and they can see who's near to them. It's a giant buffet table on those sites and I'm that weird cold pizza that's for some reason always out there at Chinese buffet.
