FarmersOnly.com

To say that FarmersOnly is a TERRIBLE dating site is a Huge UNDERSTATEMENT. At first I could edit my profile. Then I could not. An error notice kept coming up: "Messages must be 120 characters or longer." My changes fell well within those guide lines. I tried to contact them numerous times -- NO RESPONSE. It was only after I wrote an angry email explaining my problems that I received a RESPONSE. He wrote back telling me to send him an email every time I wanted to make a change. VERY INCONVENIENT. He fulfilled this ONLY ONE TIME. I sent email after email. NO RESPONSE.

In addition I had problems uploading photo. The instructions in so-called information/customer service are very muddy.

I canceled my subscription a week short of my one month agreement. I was afraid I would forget to cancel my subscription and be charged for August. Their policy is to charge you automatically at the end of your subscription period. Do not subscribe to FarmersOnly.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The basic premise of FarmersOnly.com is a great, but the behind-the-scenes shenanigans and poor customer service lead to an under whelming and disappointing experience. For one, both interested parties have to have paid memberships in order to do anything other than send pre-formatted "Hello, How Are You's?" That's greedy, unnecessary, and manipulative. Also, after a short grace period, all information regarding who you've "favorited," who has "favorited" you, who has sent you messages or emails, etc. is hidden.

The customer service, other than that automated process for taking your credit card information when paying for a membership, is non-existent. My messages went repeatedly unanswered, and I finally gave up.

This is unfortunate, because Farmers Only definitely fills a niche and could be providing a valuable service. However, shortsighted greed and manipulative business models get in the way of the website fulfilling its potential. Overall, a negative experience for what could be a really valuable service. It's pretty disappointing.

I've been going along good for a couple days as a paid member and they suddenly lost my profile page. I contacted them to retrieve a user name and it was a completely different name for an unpaid member. The emails to resolve issues go nowhere and there is no customer service phone.

Do not use Match.com either. They guarantee you'll find a match in 30 days or your money back. The hook is, you have to call Match on the 23rd day of not finding your match.

Screw Match and Farmers Only.

It saddens me to say that many of my fellow farmer guys and gals have as much internet experience as their crops and livestock. A website dedicated to rural folks is a bad idea to begin with. "City folks just don't get it", you know what city folks get? Technology. I had high hopes for this site but the members lack the cognitive skills to answer an email.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have not been on this site for very long, but the one thing I have noticed is that too many men do not bother to post a photo or write anything about themselves or what they are looking for in a woman. One guy actually wrote, "If I knew what I was looking for, I would find it". How rude and simple minded. How is a woman going to know if this guy is for her and vice-versa? I do not think profiles should be posted by the site if there is no photos and if nothing is written in the essay part.

One more thing, what is going on with these men who say they would consider being with a woman between the age of 18-60? Am I alone on this? Being in my 50's, why would I even think of dating a guy who would go out with an 18 year old? We have to pay for this service before we realize what is going on, I think the site owners should be more proactive in the area of providing quality information to those of us who are serious about this journey.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Will not let you delete your profile, unless you upgrade your membership, want to get out of this site forever, buyer beware, good luck to all you suckers. Hate this site, want to leave it forever, want to delete my pictures, contacts and profile, will not allow me to do so.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Yep. I tried the other sites but then a friend recommended FarmersOnly.com. I met a couple nice guys but then my soul mate found me. He said my profile kept popping up on his page. And of course I saw his too then. We were a thousand miles apart but something drew us together. We've been married for almost six months now but feels as if we've known each other throughout several lifetimes. This man is perfect for me and I wouldn't have found him without FarmersOnly.com. Thank you.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Most of there members are standard members which can't be contacted, most have not used the site in over two months, the only way to find this out is to pay their membership fees. This company encourages it's members to leave their unused profiles there so that they can "easily return" if they wish. Upon paying my dues some of the premium members profiles that can be contacted quickly vanished. This company has no morals and needs to quickly be put out of business.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Just another scam dating site. Very few female members. The customer service is a complete joke, they will not respond to your questions. And the cost of what you are getting is a complete rip off. I have tried messaging some of the few women anywhere near me and never did I get a response. It is hard enough trying to find someone in a rural area, and this just made me realize even more how hopeless it really is.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Horrible, rude customer service. Won't fix problems or allow you to switch pictures out unless they like them, although you pay for the privilege. Not dirty ones either, just regular pictures. Ridiculous! They over -edit your profile if they don't like what you write, also not dirty. I'm not trying to date the owners, so what's the problem? They allow no freedom to be creative or interesting.

The men refuse to talk most of the time and are either boring as mud or filthy pigs that want phone sex. I agree with what others said here. It's their way or the highway. I don't think these men get out much or know how to talk to women at all.

Plan on making all of the effort here. The site is a complete bomb. Few very basic features. They upgraded and you can barely see the visitor pictures, so they added no features and made what worked worse.

I agree with all of the negative reviews. What a waste of time and money. Find someone in your town in person.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I finally gave up after I was unable to login in to my account and contacting service 3 times. The customer service is absolutely horrendous. I owned a paid membership for about a year - the site is plagued by Nigerian scammers and yet FO does little to keep them away until they are reported.

One good thing about Farmer's Only - I learned a whole new set of internet skills in being to identify scammers due to the POOR policing of their site.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
