Yes, this is a real thing. I had to check it out for myself, and now I'm disappointed that I didn't think of creating something like this.

FarmersOnly.com is geared specifically to those who love the rural lifestyle and are searching for someone who shares their culture and beliefs.

Jerry Miller, founder of FarmersOnly, said he built the site after talking with a recently divorced friend.


She said, 'How am I going to meet somebody new working on a farm all day?' and I said, 'Don't worry, you'll meet somebody at church or whatever,'" Miller said. "She said, 'I already know everybody around my area.'"


Three years after it launched, the Web site is booming. It started with just 2,000 members and has more than 100,000 now. Miller said more than 75 couples have gotten married thanks to the site.


Despite the name, Miller said the site is not just for farmers, but is for anyone who enjoys a laid-back, country lifestyle and rural values. Membership is free for a three-day trial and costs $15 a month or $45 a year.

Do the math ... $15 x 100,000 = $1.5 million / month. :aargh:
 

There's a TV reality show here called "The Farmer Wants a Wife". It's a total circus where hip city girls are sent out to sample life on a farm or ranch and we're all supposed to watch enthralled at the 'relationship' developments... 'n.... spare me!

We have 'B&S' Balls here too. Batchelor and Spinsters ball/party gatherings held out in the sticks for singles from far flung rural areas to meet. They drive and fly in from thousands of miles around. From what I've seen and heard they look to degenerate into drunken orgies but hey, I guess some long term partnerships are formed at them and they all have a great time so good on 'em.
 

Not personally knowing any farmers I'm hard-pressed to judge whether this is something that appeals to them or not. I suspect that like any other special-interest group some will bless it while others curse it.

I would also think that many farmers now have no problem with modern technology. If that were not so then they wouldn't need the dating service since they'd still be marrying their sisters, which of course is only legal in certain parts of the Southern Ozarks ...
 
I like farm girls . . .

I think it is a great idea, and Internet dating seems to be the wave of the time, with all kinds of specialized dating sites now, so you can meet someone with similar interests as you have. I watched the ads, and I think they have done a great job with the ads, as well.
I am not sure how it will play out in real life. If two farmers meet, and both have a farm, one is going to have to give up their farm if they decide to get married, since they cant run two farms very well.....one is enough trouble.
But, if only one has a farm, they will be besieged with suitors wanting part of the Old Homestead, and could end up down the road in divorce court, and losing the farm.
Still, I am sure that it will work out well for some of the country folk, who just want to find a person with similar interests and values in life.
 
That's an excellent point, Lady - one I hadn't even considered. I can imagine how The Battle of the Barnyard could ensue if two land-holders got together - wow.

As for the siege of a sole land-owner, I imagine that could only help the ego of that person -

"Look at me, ladies - I have a big ... tract of land!" :playful:

I'm still trying to figure out the next special-interest group that I could start a dating service for, but so far all I've come up with are hermits, nuns and priests. :(

Yeah, but I've been out of the game for so long now that it would be like a deaf-mute giving singing lessons to Pavarotti ...

It might interest you to know there is at least one dating website for horse lovers -- I've seen its ads pop up on one of the horse forums I belong to

I saw those ads too, but I thought they meant "horse lovers" in a different sense so I promptly went to a different site ...

So far I've come up with:


  • Tuna Helpers - for fishermen
  • Lick It! - for stamp collectors
  • Home, Alone and Deranged - for cowboys
 
I think there are definitely other special interest groups that would benefit from something like the farmers group, Sifu. What about the retirees that live in motorhomes and travel from one campground to another ? I think they have special singles jamborees for the singles, but maybe not a special website. And then there are the ones that live on houseboats, or even a sailboat, or want to do that , but need an experienced partner.
The farmers dating site will get a lot of the homesteaders, but what about the serious survivalists, and even the conspiracy-theorists must get lonely sometimes.
Of course, there are always the senior Surfer Boys....
So start building that multi-million dollar a month website, and you will be sailing around in your own giant sailboat sooner than you think.

My only chance at this point is to corner the quadriplegic deaf-mute Buddhist piccolo player singles market ...

Thank you!
 
I guess the farmers dating site might include nature lovers as well, so we have to think of something original (as Phil certainly did, above). :D One for compulsive shoppers might be a bad idea....:eek: :p

Maybe a site for greenies, or tree huggers?? People who seem to collect school buses, and display them in the yard?? (Quite a few of those here) :p

Green Singles

Now I have to admit I didn't find a bus collectors dating site per se, but there IS a Bus Enthusiasts site that might contain the necessary raw material ... ;)
 
Bus enthusiasts; LOL Does anyone really like travelling on a bus?? Horrors!!!

Well, a site for claustrophobics could be something....or not. Hmmm; people who hate technology??? Hard to keep in touch then, though....:p
