Isn't there a dating site for farmers or country people? Would someone be kind enough to post it for me? Thanks!

Yep, think that is the one FBB was upset about a few weeks back. I have looked around there a bit, never joined up though.

i was there for awhile. found a guy not too far from me. he didn't like to get his hands dirty though. talked to several from the US which would have been a much better match but just too far at the time. some have had good luck. i think Texican met his partner there and some others. i wasn't aware Bill was unhappy with it. he says he's not looking. ~Georgia.

In my humble opinion ya have to watch out for 'FarmersOnly' . I was on it & most of the people you see there are not really there ? They took advantage of the 3 day free trial & then never actually joined, but their profiles/pix are still there, so if you get interested & write to them, you are writing to a non-person ?!
I fell in love w/one woman there who turned out to just be playin' me, having a few laffs w/her girlfriends, but that had nothing to do w/my bad opinion of FarmersONLY .

I visited Farmersonly but like others have said, if you are on the East coast, most datables were slap dab in the upper midwest or western side of the country. I didn't find anyone "close" enough to date that actually farmed..lol.. that is not a knock on farmersonly, just my experience with it.

Are there any other country type people dating sites?

I've been single long enough to know that I don't like it. The thought of going out on a date scares me silly, but day after day being alone is pretty horrible. I kept hoping that I'd get to liking being alone, but I just keep getting more miserable instead.

TxMex. All you need to do is go to the feed store and the dollar general, apparently. That is where I have two guys asking when I'm moving down there ;) Seriously....cept they are only in their 20's....but you know...it could be fun. :pound:

I've been told that when single women of no relation cross the border, the telegraphs and smoke signals start going up. ;)

LOL....but that would require me to: A. Get off my motorcycle before I need to stop for gas or B. Open the gate and travel in my beast of a cargo van. :pound:
You need to get out and about, WOMAN!

You understand what you said is counter productive in dating. I mean, you are probably going to have to leave the compound at some point LOL OR are you saying you'd want a guy that's at least a motorcycle tank of fuel away?

I can see that...not an insurmountable distance but just far enough in case he's a weirdo. ;) Just teasing ya.

Personally I haven't had much of anything happen with personal sites or personal sections of sites. Made some good acquaintances, scared a few guys off with the whole dirt thing. But obviously it's possible. I know many couples who have met through singles sites and are still happily married after many years.

It's just not your only option. But you know that. But that's probably about what it feels like. I understand.

Don't encourage me! I pity myself too much as it is!

Fact is I putter in my garden and do remodeling on my house and rarely go anywhere. Since I retired early I don't have the opportunity to meet anyone at a job, so I figure online may be my best bet. LOL....I want to meet another introvert that wants to putter in the garden with me :D

AH I see your reasoning...because the guy you are looking for is also an introvert so he'll be on his computer looking for the same thing! Genius!

'Cept all HIS friends are telling him to get out and meet a woman instead of being on the computer! See what a viscious cycle it is? :pound:


I'm having to part with some of my gardening tools that I think I probably won't need down there, but likely I will need them and have to go garden tool shopping. I'm going to drag you out to the farm and yard store and let the stockmen oggle us. C'mon...it'll be fun!

OMG...I'm gonna be forced to buy make-up aren't I? :shocked:
For what? Make up is for sissies...we aren't sissies...we're women. Men like women...boys like sissies and to try to kill us with Axe body spray....men smell like sweat and horses.

*starts chanting* Farm store! Farm store!

ROFL

I joined farmersonly.com and then found out i couldn't even reply to emails sent to me from other members unless i was a paid member?? I'm not cheap I just can't spare $20/month at the moment LOL.
I also don't think that they should be getting paid for advertising on top of charging a membership fee.. So many site operate without crazy fees, i would have thought a site geared towards farmers would be a little more down to earth.. not impressed.. and i am sure lots of people on this forum couldn't spare $20 a month either.

I never signed up on farmersonly, but I have met lots of nice, genuine friends on plentyoffish.com.

New friend, DON'T be skeered of a date! The point is to have fun, show who ya' are, and not sweat being judged...be comfortable, and leave the expectations at the door. Remember, you ain't there to impress anyone. Quality people recognize someone who is unshakable and at ease, and it's a positive quality.

...besides, you're the smoothest mama-jamma in the room, and to hail with anybody who can't see the obvious, ya' know?
Stick around the Singletree, too....there's folks worth knowin' up in hurr.
