Wanted to ask about farmers only dating app because everything I find online reads like an advert.

What I actually want to know about farmers only dating is how the free tier compares with the paid one.

For me the part that matters with farmers only dating is what the daily limits feel like in use.

If farmers only dating app worked for you, I would like to know what made the difference.

@Jessica Lane put it better than I'd. The only thing I'd add about farmers only dating is that how the free tier compares with the paid one matters more than the feature list.

Ran farmers only dating alongside two others for the trial period — what I saw was flat once the novelty wears off.

farmers only dating app stops working the moment you pay before you have tested the free side.

Does only dating hold up if you refuse to ignore how long ago someone was online?

Nobody writing about only dating seems willing to say how the pool looks outside the big metros.

Currently splitting my time between here and another free option for exactly this farmers only dating reason.

Used farmers only dating for the first week. What I ended up with was more consistent than the alternatives.

The fix that worked on farmers only dating was simple enough — ask one specific question instead of a generic opener.

I wasted a full weekend on farmers only dating because I'd send the same opener to everyone.

Tried farmers only dating across the first ten conversations and honestly what the numbers looked like was noticeably thinner than in a big city.

If you take one thing from this thread on farmers only dating: keep a separate email for it.

For me the point where it either works or does not with farmers only dating is how the pool looks outside the big metros.

The part I keep getting stuck on with farmers only dating is how the map view compares with the list.

Respectfully @Trevor, farmers only dating isn't that clear-cut. What actually happened was less reliable than it looks from outside.

The single change that improved farmers only dating for me was deciding to keep the conversation on the platform until you meet.

Ran farmers only dating alongside two others for the first handful of matches — how the pattern went was behind on everything except volume.

With farmers only dating specifically, it pays to give it a full week before judging it.

What I would tell a friend starting with farmers only dating:

  • Worth checking on farmers only dating: how the pool changes at weekends
  • Give it a full week before judging it — on farmers only dating that mattered more than anything else
  • Do not pay before you have tested the free side; with farmers only dating it costs you a month of steady use

I gave farmers only dating the opening stretch and how the pattern went was stronger at the weekend.

Most of my results on farmers only dating came down to one habit — give it a full week before judging it.

My experience with farmers only dating over about a fortnight: what I saw was behind on everything except volume.

The single change that improved farmers only dating for me was deciding to set your expectations before you start swiping.

Do not expect the algorithm to do the work — that is what cost me the first ten conversations on farmers only dating.

For me the thing that actually changes the outcome with only dating is what the gender ratio looks like locally.

Came back to farmers only dating after a break. Over the trial period, what I ended up with was about what you would guess.

With farmers only dating I would start here: read the profile properly before replying.

The mistake I see repeated with farmers only dating is people send the same opener to everyone.

Where farmers only dating either works or falls apart is how the pool changes at weekends.

Boiled down, farmers only dating came to this:

  • The thing that separates the good ones is what decides whether farmers only dating is worth it
  • Do not judge it on the first evening; with farmers only dating it costs you the first week
  • Give farmers only dating the opening stretch before deciding — what people reported was roughly the same either way

Where I went wrong with farmers only dating was that I would rely on the recommended matches alone.

For me the thing that actually changes the outcome with farmers only dating is how many nearby profiles are actually nearby.
