World’s worst fisherman falls hook, line and sinker in love.

A man proclaiming to be the ‘world’s worst fisherman’ on his dating profile proves to be a catch for his muddy match.

An outdoor loving Sussex singleton who dubbed himself ‘the world’s worst fisherman’ on his online dating profile, has fallen hook, line, and sinker for a match he connected with whilst country life dating at Muddy Matches.

Shooting, stalking and falconry fan Toby, from Newmarket, waded into online dating with Muddy Matches in May 2022; and his countryside credentials immediately made him part of the 100% muddy club – knee deep in country life and looking for a likeminded soul to share it with, having been widowed.

And he may not consider himself too hot with a rod, but he certainly proved to be a catch for 80% muddy Maggie, who also fulfilled Toby’s hope of landing someone local, on his doorstep.

Both bonded online over a shared love of dogs, muddy walks, and a fondness of outdoor travel, with the Scottish Highlands and Cumbria being of particular common ground. A shared appreciation of the British countryside, rather than international travel, also appealed to the home birds.

From farming stock, Maggie had been online dating with us sparingly, on and off for over a decade but had an honest profile that attracted plenty of admiring glances and inspired lots of positive conversation. However, she saw a good vibe and natural fit with Toby; his self-titled ‘touchy feely’ side matching well with her hopes of unearthing a ‘sensuous’ man keen on outward displays of affection.

Muddy dog walks with his black lab and her small rescue terrier, looked like cementing a healthy connection. Now some months on, having first explored each other’s profiles in September, both have flown the country life dating nest to give their fledgling relationship a chance to bloom.

Toby even had the courtesy to kindly turn down other approaches his profile had received before he’d had a chance to cancel his Muddy Matches account.

“My Muddy Match is all I was looking for, and more,” he reviewed. “We’ve been together for nearly four months now, and daily find new things that we can share and enjoy.”

Toby had previously met two other mutual matches to test the water – both ended amicably – but now sees Maggie as the one.

“I have no doubt we are going to be together for the long term. I am so happy to enter a new phase in my life with someone who is willing to share her interests with me and likewise, share mine.”

As the UK’s original, award winning home of farmer dating and countryside love, Muddy Matches has been matching outdoor loving singles from all walks of country life, for well over 15 years now.

Trusted, and traditional, Muddy Matches has attracted over ¾ million singles each looking to unearth a soulmate with shared interests, background, and outlook on rural life.
