Wednesday, January 11th, 2023

With over 140 online dating apps and websites to choose from, UK singles have the pick of where their heart takes them. But when it comes to the ‘go to’ place for rural dating and to meet, match, date UK farmers, the decision is more straight forward; Muddy Matches.

For well over 15 years now Muddy Matches has been the UK’s original, award-winning home of rural dating, farmer dating and country life love.

It has earnt the respect and trust of country singles and rural communities when it comes to forging genuine connections with like-minded people who love life in wellies.

And here’s 6 real reasons why.

1. The team live the rural lifestyle
Muddy Matches is online dating for country people, by country people. The rural dating website was the brainchild of farming sisters, who remain at the heartbeat of it all. Based out of a barn on an arable farm, every decision is taken with an eye on how it works for the farmers, agricultural workers and hundreds and thousands of rural singles it serves.


2. The human touch; profiles are vetted by human eyes.
Every new single who signs up has their profile and photos manually reviewed individually by our lovely customer care team, and their countryside credentials are checked before they are approved to feature on the website. This improves wellbeing but also means Muddy Matches attracts the right level of genuine rural single. We also aren’t afraid to turn people away.

3. It ploughs 15 years field based experience and know how into matching people.
Muddy Matches has been trusted for over 15 years. And it in that time we have attracted well over ¾ million singles from
all walks of country life, looking to rural date. We listen to those who fly the nest, we talk to singles, we learn, we improve – but only if it works for those who date with us.

4. Singles can quickly, and confidently, show off their muddy side
Loving a life in mud and wellies should be celebrated, and Muddy Matches easily enables all singles to wear their muddiness like a badge of honour. There’s no judging here either. Picking from over 160 specialist interests and hobbies, everything about the dating profiles has been built to be specific to rural lifestyle, country living and outdoor pursuits. We are not a one size fits all solution.

5. Genuine UK farmers, and vets, trust the website
We know this because the photos and the bios tell us. Farmers notoriously take a while to warm up and trust something. Yet talk of cows, harvest, tractors, cow sheds, milk prices, livery yards, machinery and seasonal yields crop up in dating profiles and message exchanges on a daily basis.  They also know their lifestyle and schedule will be understood more by the singles they match with. This all shows a level of trust, respect and acceptance that it works.

6. It doesn’t try to be something its not.
Muddy Matches knows its place in the heart of the countryside;

After a long busy day, knee deep in rural life, Muddy Matches lets you date at your pace.
