What to do with no stronger players around? I hear that a good way to improve is by playing against much stronger opponents. The problem here is that there are hardly any stronger opponents where I live and that makes it not only not as challenging but with no one to really personal help me improve. I thought of playing chess on the internet to resolve this problem but something about it just doesn't sit well with me, in other words I really dislike online chess. Maybe its the fact it doesn't feel like you are playing a real person or you're just staring at a screen instead of playing with a real board.
If there are no stronger players convenient to you, and you don't want to use the technology available to play with stronger players further away, then you must go to where the stronger players are. 

Organizations exist to do just this.  For instance the US Chess Federation has tournaments around the US throughout the year that allow players to meet and play together. 

Check out the organizations that serve you and see what opportunities they offer.  Some will require extensive travel, but with time and patience you will find chess clubs and tournaments that are within driving distance.

Once you establish a relationship with such a club or organization, and specific players within it, you may find playing online more comfortable once you know the people you are playing against.  Sometimes the issue isn't the mechanism, but the distance and relative anonymity.
