Text messaging, mobile phones and facebook seem to have revolutionised communications and life in the countryside, it has helped bring people together and the mobile phone has certainly saved lives when single farmers have been injured in remote areas the mobile phone has helped bring help in. Twitter is having the same effect on the world of communications, for non-twitter users – it is essentially a public text message shared with other users of Twitter.
This concept seemed revolutionary, however what did people do before Twitter and mobile phones? In 1935 an inventor built the Notificator, these were positioned in train stations and displayed a large mechanical paper scroll, a user could insert 2 pennies and leave a message for friend or loved one. Any passer by could read this post and share it its amusement, as with Twitter the post is limited in size.
There must be millions of inventions of the future waiting in archives to be relaunched in modern colours, but this is certainly a great example of forward thinking! We are trying to help innovate and solve another communication and dating problem in the countryside which is Countryside Dating. Kissinggates.com post messages regularly to Twitter.com, you can follow us for free by visiting – Twitter.com/KissingGates.com .
We wanted to explain some of the features available to our Full Members of Kissinggates.com, the home of Single Farmers dating. All of these have been designed with the purpose of helping you find someone new, be it for a relationship or Country Friends.
Living in the countryside can mean your political voice is often not heard; business and governments have often neglected the rural area in favour of focusing on densely populated urban areas. However in the pre-election promises, rural broadband was a priority and we are starting to see pledges turn into actions towards achieving this. The importance of a successful broadband network should not be underestimated, it allows people who live remotely an opportunity to use dating services such as Kissinggates.com. Our focus is bringing together single farmers into a portal and subsequently a large database of women follow who are looking for farmer wants a wife.
Many rural areas have little or no broadband access which is particularly problematic for businesses who rely on modern technology such as broadband in order to develop their business, this is very relevant to farmers who now have to submit many documents online to manage stock movements, claim subsidies etc. A recent report identified rural parts of the country should receive priority when it comes to the roll out of super fast broadband, which will come as excellent news for many single farmers.
This is something we have long campaigned for and rural broadband has and will continue to be a major issue in the countryside, for business to thrive in these areas there needs to be a real commitment to improve our core UK infrastructure, which will in turn increase business activity in the countryside. It will also help to keep the under 30 generation which rely on broadband for communication in the countryside.
Thank you for all your comments and suggestions. We just heard from Jane, a 33 year old member from Norfolk with a passion for Horse Dating, she said -
“You have saved me so much time! I wish the ice breaker tool was here when I started using Kissinggates.com. It means I can talk to a whole host of single farmers in my area! Thanks again.”
The icebreaker tool allows you to message members in your area within a certain age bracket, this is particularly useful if you are, for example a single farmer looking to talk to a horse dating girl- you could send a message out saying “Hi Im Will I live on my family farm and love hunting, I would love to find someone to take on a horsey date. I saw your profile and you look quite country so I thought I would send you a message, hope to hear from you soon :)”
In addition to this another filtering tool has just been launched so you can filter who you receive messages from. Something a lot of people fed back to us was that people didn’t read their profile, which may have said ”looking for over 50’s to message me.” Now you can set a filter so only over 50’s can message you;
- This is done by signing in to KissingGates.com, the home of single farmer dating!
- Clicking on ‘My Account’
- Selecting your options – within a certain age bracket / with a picture / and within a certain distance of my location.
These new features should go someway towards improving your experience and time on kissinggates.com, we hope you find someone soon 
The rural poacher is often thought of as a wise, romantic countryman sat in a pub with many a tale of stealing pheasants from the rich to feed to his family. The term poacher is even used to build affluent brands such as “Poachers Inn” or “Lincolnshire Poacher Cheese.” However is this still the case?
Many people in the countryside would say no, especially after a wet winter when many farmers have had there fields torn up by poachers driving over cropped fields to lamp rabbits etc. This is a sure fire way to not get new country friends! The problem is one which runs deep into rural life, how can police forces protect such a wide area in order to prevent poaching when it is carried out late at night and off road. This is another rural service which is difficult to sustain, like pubs which are becoming harder to keep alive in rural locations as the spread of their closures sadly continues. This is making it very difficult for young and old people to meet in the countryside, fairs and shows are annual things and the rapid destruction of a social infrastructure makes it hard to meet new people.
This was one of the inspirations behind Kissinggates.com, a countryside dating site which targets the rural community and single farmers alike. By creating an online community for people in the countryside Kissinggates.com has increased the chances of finding a single farmer to date and meet. It is a simple,free one page form to register so why not have a look, we think you will be pleasantly surprised.
The Nocton Dairy plans have today been put on hold, Kissinggates.com reported on Nocton Dairy in an earlier post on UK Super Dairy. The dairy has generated a huge amount of local and national interest and it has to be said a lot has been negative. Developing a brown industrial site to build the UK’s largest dairy has a lot of benefits, not least collecting the milk from one location rather than travelling to several. However there have been a lot of animal health protests which do not believe it is ethical to house over 8,000 cattle in one location is not good for animal welfare.
This farm will create a centre for over 80 local jobs and local farmers to supply the food stuffs. This will certainly draw benefits for farmers, however it does also highlight a social change for Farmer Wants a Wife. Smaller farms, particularly dairies which are being closed and swallowed up by larger dairies which is making it even harder for Single Farmers to find a wife.
Kissinggates.com targets the rural community and helps to singletons such as farmers to find a partner, this is of particular interest in the current economic climate where it is useful to share the stress and economic difficulties with a partner which is often quite hard in the rural community.
Kissinggates.com’s team are cutting edge, innovative, forward online thinkers, but we are also farmers- this is one of the things that sets us apart from our rivals. We actually understand the social problems for single farmers who live and work in the countryside. As such we currently operate Kissinggates.com as well as run a farm with a herd of Lincoln Red cattle and 100 ewes, which are currently lambing!
Lambing is an exciting and time consuming time for farmers, it also highlights how hard countryside dating is for single farmers when the majority of their time is spent in a lambing shed anxiously trying to keep lambs alive, which have an amazing ability to kill themselves (as do sheep 
) This is only one of the issues concerning farmer dating and Kissinggates.com is a rural themed dating website which means we have to touch a cross section of rural society in order to deliver the best possible service to our clients.
A recent Government study found that 200,000 under 30’s are leaving the countryside a year, this kind of mass exodus has to have an impact on everyday life in rural areas and one of the reasons we are finding people are leaving is because they can not find a single partner and not just simply because of job opportunities. Kissinggates.com is an excellent way to meet new people and help change this trend for leaving the countryside, we really must not let rural Britain lose it’s rural culture and industry. Join us on Kissinggates and register free to find yourself a partner.
The location of your first date is a difficult one to get right and there are certainly no rules surrounding dating, particularly concerning single farmers. It is a very personal thing dating and what works for one person will not necessarily work for another, for example some people are attracted to opposites but others like their partners identical, that is why at Kissinggates.com we facilitate online dating and help bring the two parties together but we don’t say what is right and wrong as this is so personal even for finding country friends. Below is a video to help you on your first date location;
