How come no one plays 45 minute games?

Whenever I look for a 45 minute live game I never get any takers. What gives?
Unfortunately most live players go for short time controls, worries about cheating...
I personally don't have time...

I used to do 30 minute games, but one of few times I'm available for a longer, live game is on Saturdays. I don't have the 'net at home (had to cut expenses).

I play forty five or 30, but if you want to play slow play 30 minute or 60 minute.
I HAVE REVIVED THIS THREAD
Bullet is not the way forward... blitz is... blitz allows time to think while making it exciting... Also, there is a point when a game is comfortable and when it is boring...
Not necessarily cheating...
I don't know, all I play is blitz, so I don't know how many people play bullet.

I can find 60 minute games but it takes up to ten minutes sometimes to find an opponent
Hi I will like to play 45 min game
I m learning chess if someone wants to okay with me
The longest game I can choose from 'live chess' is 30 minutes.
How do I get the 45 minute option?
people play bullet because it's fun. the lack of worry about cheating is an extra benefit.
Plus, waiting a long time for your opponent to play is not an option for hyper players. I rarely play slow time controls online.
There is a slow chess league group for those that likes longer time controls. The time controls are 45|45 or 90|30 and you schedule your games with your opponents.

I prefer the 45/45 option. If I have it set to play people with a higher grade, then I expect to learn something from the game whether I win or not - often not! So if an opponent is cheating, so what? I'll play their computer and learn something. I rarely play the same opponent twice. I usually have to wait for a game, but I see this as setting up my board at the back of the club and waiting for an opponent. If I've got time for a long game, I've usually got time to wait for one too. Patience is a virtue, in chess as in life.
