ugg men and the lack there of lol

[cwc362]

What about starting a yahoo group for local people. It could be a farming or sustainability group or something like that. I started a chicken group on Yahoo and now we have 52 members and have had two live meetings. Even if you didn't meet "mr right" there you still have the oppurtunity to meet great friends like I have. There are all different ages and people from all walks of life in my group- All different and yet all alike in the things we like.
I can't see you will have any problem finding somebody who would want to get with you. The only problem you might have is finding somebody up to par. , since you have a lot going for you.

If I wasn't fat, old, lazy , broke and ugly- I'd be the first in line!!

to you Ahappychick, you live your life as you wish to live it, one day a stranger will cross your path and you will know he is the one for you and your DS......... until then remain positive and strong...... you have such a lot going for you already, you are quite remarkable to say the least.... good luck in all you do, and I do hope that one day you get your farm........

Keep the forum posted ........

and God Bless to you and your family.

OK--doesn't anybody else think we should further explore the PC/AHappychick hook-up?

I was one of those girls who refused to "settle" when all of my friends were marrying around me. I held out because I just knew the right one was out there, somewhere. In my 20's and 30's I had a lot of "friends with benefits". Then, when I was 37, we met. We have been together for 9 years now and he's exactly what I waited all those years for.
But seriously, have you PM'd Purple Chicken? He's in your area, too! Y'all should at least get together for coffee or something.

I'll be waiting to see........

Hey--I didn't real the whole thread, but I remember hearing a while back of a site that hooks up agricultural singles. Seriously--it was on NPR. I wonder if you could Google some of those keywords? Good luck!

There is a dating website for those interested in/involved in agriculture. Farmersonly.com
I gave it a try a few years back and didn't have much luck (ended up finding my DH 5 miles from where I grew up... lol). It was nice, though, because rather than searching through a normal dating site to try to find guys who understand your way of life, that is all that the site has.


Ahappychick, I admire you for putting your son ahead of your needs and desires. It sounds like things will be tough for you for a while (it's always hard to part ways with someone you love). I'm sure things will get better with time. Once you are ready to move on and look for a man who treats you and your son like you shoudl be treated, I pray that you will find a good one!​

I had to dig to page 3 to find this thread.....
I'm not bringing it to the top to be sneaky or anything. Just wondering if you and PC have ever met?

humming: Matchmaker, matchmaker, send me a match, light me a light, catch me a catch...."

Can't really be any help. I married at 19 and am still married to the same great guy after 33 years. Though I still think and consider myself fairly young, if my DH was hit by a truck today, I'd never marry again. Nope, not even live with one, either. Not attracted to men my own age and they're scary dysfunctional anyway!! DH has broken the mold for me. Like the mysterious Greta Garbo, "I want to be alone!"

I can understand about being single. I'm nearly 26 and have barely dated

It is so difficult to find good guys who are willing to commit to one person, work, and get their hands dirty.

Right now, it is very difficult for me to meet people between college, work, and school. I'm back in college full time, but there are no possibles in my cohort (group of people who are taking the same classes together). There ARE two single guys in my church...but they believe that women shouldn't cut their hair or wear pants. My hair is cut and I wear pants when I feel like it. Not to mention, neither is animal person and any person I marry has to enjoy living with critters of all kinds!

Oh, well. It's hard, but I know that God knows what is best for me.There's been so many things I've really wanted in life, and then God has shown me that it wasn't for best. I guess a husband and children are one of those things-at least for now!

If you want to find a farm guy, just go to a farm auction. DH and I go to lots of them. If I am separated from DH for more than 10 minutes at one of the auctions, I am approached by all sorts of guys. They figure that if a girl goes to a farm auction, she must be OK. And I'm fat and middle aged, so you should do fine. I always tell DH to stay close at the auctions, but he thinks it's funny to ditch me and watch from a distance as I get away from the lonely men. I usually bring my little dog to the auctios too. The pick up line is always the same, "Oh, I used to have a dog just like that."

There are men out there seriously disgusted by farm life? I mean jeeze I live in a relatively rural area, but even the city boys I talk to online think I'm pretty hot stuff when I mention that I'm crazy about chickens - it makes me that much more interesting than the average bimbo they're used to picking up at clubs and bars. I'm also fourtunate enough to have a normal, gorgeous boyfriend at 21 years old who is not only understanding of my obsession, but downright encourages me to become a breeder and even wants to have his own pet chicken! He is currently incubating my eggs in his college dorm room since my apartment is too drafty and my electricy isn't very reliable... talk about a good sport and an absolute darling, I really hope he's a keeper <3

Guess what I'm getting at is, it sounds like I'm not even half a generation younger than the OP, so if there are guys like this in their twenties, they have to exist in their thirties and beyond as well! It was just a stroke of luck I was reunited with my boyfriend after not seeing each other since childhood, but like I said, there are many eligible, open-minded and attractive bachelors online as well. Haven't checked out that "farmersonly" website since I don't need to at the moment, but it does sound like an excellent place to start if you're looking for a guy with the qualities listed in your singles ad.
