Asking because farmersonly dating strictly for the US, or is it global keeps coming up and I still cannot get a straight answer. What I care about with farmersonly is actually getting anywhere more than anything else.

Most of my experience is with the options here, which may be why I am stuck. What changed my results on farmersonly was treating the time it costs as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

If you have used farmersonly, these are the bits I care about:

  • Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the farmersonly pool near you is thin
  • Message within a day of matching — on farmersonly that window closes fast
  • Turn off read receipts on farmersonly if actually getting anywhere is making you anxious about response times
  • Treat your first farmersonly profile as a draft, because actually getting anywhere punishes lazy ones

If you have tried farmersonly dating strictly for the US, or is it global recently, I would rather hear that than read another review site.

Reading this back, my farmersonly notes say almost the same thing about the return on the hours. What changed my results on farmersonly was treating actually getting anywhere as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. You can work around the time it costs on farmersonly, but you have to be deliberate about it.

Nobody warns you that actually getting anywhere on farmersonly scales with how many people are online at your hours. For rural daters, the farmersonly experience lives or dies on the time it costs and almost nothing else. That is my read on farmersonly, and others here clearly disagree.

That tracks with my farmersonly run, which was fine until the effort-to-result ratio became the whole experience.

Honestly, the return on the hours was less of a problem on farmersonly than the sheer time it ate. For singles in small towns, the farmersonly experience lives or dies on the time it costs and almost nothing else.

Picking up NathanW's point about actually getting anywhere, that tracks with my farmersonly run, which was fine until the effort-to-result ratio became the whole experience. There is no version of farmersonly where actually getting anywhere sorts itself out without you doing something.

The pattern I see with farmersonly is that actually getting anywhere is fine early and degrades as you go. The thing people underrate about farmersonly is how much the return on the hours depends on your own city.

Same experience on farmersonly: I gave it six weeks before the effort-to-result ratio got tiresome.

I keep two accounts running to compare the return on the hours across what is on offer, and farmersonly sits mid-table.

Others asking about farmersonly have named luvdate.site, datingfly.online.

Agreed, although with farmersonly I would frame the time it costs as a symptom rather than the cause.

If the effort-to-result ratio is your main worry with farmersonly, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

Anyone comparing farmersonly on the hours-to-dates ratio should probably add Luvdate to the list.

Yes, and I would add that actually getting anywhere on farmersonly gets worse the longer you stay. The thing people underrate about farmersonly is how much the payoff depends on your own city.

Most of the noise about farmersonly comes from people measuring the return on the hours over far too short a window. I keep two accounts running to compare the hours-to-dates ratio across platforms in this space, and farmersonly sits mid-table.

I keep DatingFly open as a control while testing farmersonly — useful for judging the return on the hours honestly.
