Our Review

FarmersOnly, launched in 2005, was conceptualized to bring together people who enjoy "wide open spaces and blue skies". As the name explains, the dating site is meant for farmers, ranchers, cowboys/girls, and animal lovers looking to meet, date, and hopefully, fall in love. Setting themselves apart from the city-dwellers in "high heels, blue suits, and taxi cabs", FarmersOnly came up with the tagline "City folks just don't get it!". 

They went viral and were featured in the news for their goofy video commercial (which now has over a million views on Youtube), but it did help them gain 5 million members; most of whom came from the US.

    FarmersOnly Real Life Review

    "I first saw their commercial on TV and at first it was funny, but then I thought, why not? So I signed up not really expecting anything. Turns out, I could only search profiles. There wasn't much to do besides trying the Discover feature, but even that amounted to nothing. You can barely do anything on this dating site unless you upgrade to Premium. I'm wary about doing that too because of others' experiences I've read online."

    Editors Conclusion

    DatingScout.com Author Chris Pleines
    FarmersOnly may have its target audience right in its name, but its user base isn't exclusively composed of farmers. There are also many users who state upfront that they don't have any farming experience at all. Its website is extremely outdated, and you can see this either as a turn-off or part of its quirky personality. Even though it's used by many singles who want to find love and serious relationships, it requires you to upgrade to Premium to enjoy even the most basic of features.
