Regional vs. Global competition

I have recently faced a tough job.
While optimizing a dating site on Google, I faced tougher competition (in UK counties) for regional keywords (at Google.co.uk) than its global counterparts. I am getting better ranks on a global platform (Google.com). This scenario is strange.

I will appreciate to know the reason from anyone around.
Also, did you face similar problems while optimizing on a competitive domain (dating, gambling, finance, travel...)?

Presumably, Cheshire dating is more relevant on .co.uk than .com so you're facing stiffer competition for the keywords there??

Get some links from the websites which are targeting that region and submit your site tolocal directories and local search engines. u will surelly perform better
