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.
