The area seems too small. If you're 25+ and relying upon swipe apps, social media DMs, and stranger approaches to meet women, you need a population of at least 150,000 in your area to effectively run game. Also, demographics matters. Some areas have too many retirees (think Naples-Fort Myers, FL), which is only good if you are 55+ and looking to date.
The single moms chasing douchebags you describe are likely 20-40.
If you're mentioning douchebags, I take that as a sign that you are not a big enough douchebag yourself. You need to embrace your inner douchebag. Adopt the traits of the douchebag that are most attractive to women. Height, big muscles, a fast car, aloofness, and a few tattoos will help you craft the persona that will make panties drop.
734,000 is a solid population for a metro area. Big enough that you'll have enough choices but not too big that the women get overly fussy and entitled as you see in some of the biggest metro areas in the US. I have lived in 2 of the 15 biggest US metro areas for 15+ years and dealt with entitled and fussy Millennial women. It's not fun. I have avoided the worst behaviors of women in recent years by not arranging dates via swipe app, but even women from random stranger approaches in bigger cities will still demonstrate a number of annoying and rude behaviors.
You need to move to that place with 734,000 people.
