Ryan Black on 'Farmer Wants a Wife' Will Make Y'all Want to Say Howdy — Who Is He?

Chivalry isn't dead and Ryan Black is here to prove it on the Fox reality dating series Farmer Wants a Wife.

Ryan is one of the four farmers looking for love. Giddy-up, y'all, because we're going to learn a lot more about what makes Ryan such a catch, on and off the farm!

Let's start with the basics — Ryan, 32, is a third-generation farmer who wants nothing more than to lasso up the love of his life on Farmer Wants a Wife.

So where is Ryan from? Where does he live now? What does he do specifically for a living on his farm? What's his idea of chivalry? Let's find out all the details.

Ryan hails from the town of Shelby in North Carolina. According to a report from Axios Charlotte, Ryan's family owns a wide assortment of farms across the state of North Carolina.

The Farmer Wants a Wife star currently resides in Gastonia, N.C., which is just about a half-hour drive from Ryan's hometown of Shelby.

Ryan told Axios Charlotte that it's not a challenge for him to find women to date in Charlotte; however, he wisely noted, "There’s a certain attraction to cowboys. The complicated part is finding the connection instead of infatuation."

He studied at UNC North Carolina, and currently specializes in training and breeding horses on his — get this — 44-acre ranch. What's better than a man who loves animals?

A man with a big ranch, that's what! (Not that that's the top priority when searching for a spouse, of course! True love is better than spacious acreage!)

Ryan does view himself as a chivalrous man, telling Axios Charlotte, "One of the most chivalrous things a man can do, it may sound deeper and it’s really not, is listening. Just listening and paying attention goes a long way,"

His favorite first-date spot outside of the farm is The Eagle Food and Beer Hall in Charlotte, on the strength of their maple bacon alone.

You can watch Ryan look for love with some city girls on when new episodes of Farmer Wants a Wife air live on Fox on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. EST.

So does Ryan find lasting love on Farmer Wants a Wife? Does the show have a higher success rate than that other show on that other TV network? (According to a press release from Fox, Farmer Wants a Wife technically does have a higher success rate than The Bachelor!)

We'll just have to wait and see if Ryan finds the love of his life on Farmer Wants a Wife when the show debuts on on Fox on Wednesday, March 8, at 9 p.m. EST. You can stream new episodes on Hulu after they air on Fox!
