Looking For Love In All The Wrong Places? Try These Sites Instead
Looking for love in all the wrong places? Well, sorry, but chances are your results at any of the following five dating sites will be the same. On the other hand, they might be exactly what you are looking for.
These dating sites are specific destinations for some very specific seekers. General online dating doesn’t do enough to separate the chaff. But the vast use of the Internet also provides the solution: specialization.
Maybe you only like nerdy people, or criminals or … whatever. These days, there are sites out there for everyone. And we do mean everyone. That is, if you have Internet and room for one more in your life.
And if you do happen to fall into any of the camps these sites are built for, then you may just be set for the rest of your dating life.
Up For Dinner And A Rodeo?
Dad Gummit! Since dating is a numbers game, as are dating sites, all the focus is on the urban scene: the trendy restaurants, the night clubs, yada, yada. But what about the 20 percent of Americans who live rurally? Well, that’s where FarmersOnly.com come in.
This site is great because not only is there attention lacking in this arena, but who benefits more from the power of the Internet than those who live far apart?
As they say on this site, “If they didn’t marry their high school sweetheart, it was difficult to meet someone new.” Indeed. So, in response, this site was started to help those who love wide open spaces hook up.
It may be small compared to other sites, but that’s kind of the point. In fact, in that get-to-know-you style of country living, the site even shows the 100 couples married by meeting there.
Looking For Love Behind Bars?
OK, obviously, there’s the immediate reaction to this site: “What the … ?! Who would ever look for love from such a pool of candidates?”
But hold on there, skeptic. Think about WomenBehindBars.com from the women’s standpoint. It offers them the chance to reach out to someone willing to give a shot to the girl-trying-to-make-good. And you never know the kind of people on the outside who will reciprocate the desire. They say it takes all kinds, right?
They also say there’s someone for everyone. If that’s true, then kudos to this site for helping bring them together.
But be careful. Duh. The site disclaims its responsibility and doesn’t verify the validity of the profiles. So while she won’t be bashful about her criminal record, she may not be the 5-foot-8-inch, 120-pound blonde she says she is, either.
Do You Believe Love Is Blind?
Ever been sitting at home with nothing to do? Of course you have — your friends are all busy or whatever. Well, how’s this for an idea? Use the connectivity of the Internet to reach out and hang with someone new.
Just log on, see if anyone else is free, set up a time, and you’re off! Your lonely night just got company.
CrazyBlindDate.com is less about looking for someone to love and more about looking for something to do.
And let’s face it. Blind dates the old fashioned way haven’t historically been that successful. (What do your friends know, anyway, setting you up with that person? Geeesh!) So remove that degree of separation and go completely in the dark with this site. Certainly, if you like meeting new people this could be a ball.
Are You More Interested In A Beautiful Mind?
Like the rural folk, the geeks out there may feel unrepresented in the online dating world. So this idea seems like a no-brainer (haha, very punny). And this is especially so considering the web was created, and is run, by folks from the geekdom.
Gk2gk.com (geek to geek) is one geeky dating portal. And it looks like a few nerdy turtles are coming out of their shells!
The site purports to be the fastest growing dating site on the web. That’s pretty cool, ’cause the world needs the nerds getting together and having super-kids that can create ever-cool technologies.
So, while mainstream dating sites are full of profile shots that try to impress, rather than be real, feel free to be yourselves and join in on the action.
Was Charles Darwin The Ultimate Wingman?
Charles Darwin theorized about the evolution of species. DarwinDating.com demands the most “highly evolved” of the human species — well, as far as looks go anyway.
The members themselves vote on who’s worthy of staying in the pool of pretty faces. So it also provides a great lesson in Darwin’s theory of natural selection. Neato. But naturally, with the superficiality comes brutal honesty. So evolve some thick skin.
In real life, selection of a partner is much more than picking a face, but the site is proud to at least clear up this one factor. The rest of the journey is up to you, Casanova. Oh that’s right, there’s the dating part, as well. It’s not all just the fun of getting to rate the other members.
So get courting. And that goes for the farmers, blind daters, geeks and inmate seekers as well.
