I wonder if we're just too uninteresting to be visited by extraterrestrial life. Maybe there is a part of the universe that's teeming with life and resources that extraterrestrials prefer to visit instead.

Going by our own immediate galactical neighborhood, we're a veritable oasis in a desert as far as life is concerned.

So maybe they've mapped out the galaxies, discovered our little planet, and decided that it's too little reward for too much travel.

Finding exoplanets is far harder than you think. The only way to meaningfully inspect a planet is by visiting it.

With our current technology, yes. But we're talking about an alien race capable of traveling light year distances. I'm sure their planet searching capabilities would be far ahead of us as well.
