New Online Dating Service Opens... for Farmers Only

(onlinedatingmagazine.com - August 10, 2005) There are hundreds of online dating niche services filling a variety of needs for daters. Now one more can be added to the list - FarmersOnly.com.

FarmersOnly.com, launched last May, is a site that targets farmers, ranchers, and country folk. This is emphasized through the site's slogan, "City Folks Just Don't Get It!"

The site was founded by Jerry Miller, owner of the marketing and public relations firm for the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association.

"I truly feel there is more of a need for this matchmaking site then any other singles site on the web," said Miller. Miller claims that his inspiration came from meeting a female farmer who, recently divorced, was having problems meeting other people. Her experiences with online dating were frustrating because the men communicating with her didn't understand the lifestyle of a farmer. Miller tried to help her by searching for a dating service she could use that appealed to farmers. He didn't find one, so he started his own after talking with other single farmers.

"One thing they all had in common was a feeling of hopelessness in ever being able to find someone whose lifestyle matched theirs," said Miller. "The need for a real online dating service focusing on farmers and ranchers became clear. Six months later, after thousands of hours of research and interviews, I launched FarmersOnly.com"

While typical online dating sites ask if you are employed in business, finance or computers, on FarmersOnly.com you are asked what type of livestock you raise or what type of crops you grow.

"Since I started FarmersOnly.com, I've received many emails and phone calls from members thrilled to finally have a place to go to meet singles with similar backgrounds and lifestyles," said Miller. "After only a few months, this site is quickly becoming the place for farmers to come and meet others and possibly make that love connection for which they've been searching.
