How a Massey a’tractor’ed Russel to muddy match Susan

‘I’m curious if you can drive that Massey? That will be very useful for a farmer.”

When third generation farmer Russel caught sight of his muddy match standing by agricultural machinery in her profile photos, he reached out with the muddiest of opening messages.

As chat up lines go, talking tractors is right up there. It did the trick though, and we’d expect nothing less from folk looking to find love in the countryside.

This week, the Muddy Matches team had the pleasure of hearing from Somerset singleton Susan, who was on the receiving end of Russel’s rather rural approach.

She confirmed the pair are now an official country couple, and are loving life in muddy wellies together. Her dating experience with Muddy Matches was everything she’d ever wished for.

“I met the man of my dreams,” Susan told us. “I’d had almost given up, but there he was.”

Susan connected with Russel whilst farmer dating on Muddy Matches in April 2022. Rural dating was a perfect fit for both; Susan, from a farming family, grew up on a smallholding with sheep and poultry. Russel, with roots in dairy and poultry farming, had diversified into growing Christmas trees, and breeding Longhorn cattle on a conservation scheme.

They were both seeking new chapters in life; one that promised ‘no drama’, after previous experiences.

Having mutually matched and bonded over Somerset upbringings, farm diversification projects and milk prices, both decided to fly the online nest, and pursue the connection offline.

Nearly a year on, and they remain as happy a country couple as you will find.

For over 15 years now, Muddy Matches has been well trusted as the UK and Ireland’s original, online home of rural dating, and farmer dating. It is THE ‘go-to’ dating website on which to discover love in the countryside with real singles from all walks of country life.
