SCENE – Jan 31 – Jerry Miller, the founder of FarmersOnly.com, lives in Cleveland's eastern suburbs. "There are maybe a million farmers in the US, and half of them are married," said Miller. "The other half have never been on a computer," he said. FarmersOnly.com currently has ~6M users and continues to grow. (The site surpassed 200k users in 2012 and 1M in 2014.) Miller started another site – CurvesConnect.com – in 2016 "for people with a few extra curves". CurvesConnect was conceived, in part, as an antidote to the judging-books-by-covers extreme that Tinder represents. He said that Hollywood has brainwashed all of us into thinking that beauty (for women) means being leggy and anorexic, but that most people don't look anything like what Hollywood says we're supposed to. Like FarmersOnly, CurvesConnect enjoys an almost perfect 50-50 male/female split.
