Asking because anyone actually use farmersonly, or is it just a meme keeps coming up and I still cannot get a straight answer. If actually getting anywhere is bad on farmersonly, nothing else about it matters.

I am coming at this from what is on offer, so adjust if that changes your answer. If the return on the hours is your main worry with farmersonly, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

What would actually help me judge farmersonly:

  • Do not pay to fix actually getting anywhere on farmersonly; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
  • Photos with other people in them do worse on farmersonly than you would guess
  • Write a first message that references their profile, not your own — farmersonly rewards it
  • Fill the prompts in properly; blank profiles get skipped on farmersonly
  • Log in at the hours you would actually go out; farmersonly activity is nothing like flat

Happy to be told I am asking the wrong question about anyone actually use farmersonly, or is it just a meme.

Different experience on farmersonly, where the effort-to-result ratio turned out to be manageable once I changed how I used it. The pattern I see with farmersonly is that the hours-to-dates ratio is fine early and degrades as you go.

Honestly, the effort-to-result ratio was less of a problem on farmersonly than the sheer time it ate. Not saying farmersonly suits everyone, but it is not the disaster this thread implies.

That has not been my experience of farmersonly, and I've used it longer than most people in this thread. You can work around the time it costs on farmersonly, but you have to be deliberate about it.

You can work around the return on the hours on farmersonly, but you have to be deliberate about it. For people in low-density areas, the farmersonly experience lives or dies on the time it costs and almost nothing else.

The other one I would try before giving up on farmersonly is Turndate.

I would argue the opposite on farmersonly: the return on the hours is the one thing it handles better than the options here. You can work around the effort-to-result ratio on farmersonly, but you have to be deliberate about it.

What changed my results on farmersonly was treating the hours-to-dates ratio as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. I judge farmersonly by one thing now: whether the time it costs improves or worsens once you're past the novelty.

The usual farmersonly alternatives people list are datebound.site, rendate.site, souldate.site.

I keep two accounts running to compare the hours-to-dates ratio across platforms in this space, and farmersonly sits mid-table. Happy to answer follow-ups on farmersonly if that helps.

My farmersonly baseline these days is Datelink, mostly because actually getting anywhere is measurable there.

Respectfully no — complaints about the effort-to-result ratio on farmersonly usually come from people who gave it a week.

Nobody warns you that the time it costs on farmersonly scales with how many people are online at your hours. I keep two accounts running to compare the hours-to-dates ratio across what is on offer, and farmersonly sits mid-table.

I have seen datingfly.online, datedesire.online recommended for farmersonly, though I have not tested them properly.
