8 Wonderful and Weird Dating Sites
8 Wonderful and Weird Dating Sites
Love is a wonderful and mysterious thing. It can also be something many of us spend our whole lives looking for.
Sometimes we’re lucky and the search for the perfect partner is easy. For others, however, the quest for an ideal companion can be a slow, frustrating and depressing one. After all, it’s no mean feat to chance upon someone who shares your taste in microwave pizzas, repeats of Geordie Shore and predilection for Barry Mannilow LPs.
And that’s partly the point. What floats one person’s boat won’t always float someone else’s, so that mystical match becomes an even more elusive spectre.
But fear not, ye seekers of love; there is hope yet. In fact, with the miracle that is the internet there is an eternal hope for those who are unlucky in love. No matter what your lifestyle, passion or penchant, you can be sure there’s something – and someone – out there for you.
Taking the concept of survival of the fittest and natural selection possibly a little too far, this sites opening gambit is “Sick of dating websites filled with ugly, unattractive, desperate fatsos?” They also victoriously proclaim that “sweat patches” and “nerdy glasses” are categorically banned. Of course, what constitutes beauty is an entirely subjective concept and using a website to attract potential partners implies a certain element of desperation anyway, so chances are this is a site ripe with self-absorbed, deluded, superficial, insecure, image-obsessed cretins. But that’s only my opinion.
- Silent Dating
Shyness counts for a large percentage of people who wished they’d made a move but didn’t, and this site uses the technique of passing notes to each other to eliminate unnecessary chit chat for those who get tongue-tied.
We’ve heard of people becoming infatuated with killers on death row, so the notion of falling for women in the chokey doesn’t seem so bad. Plus, if your prospective lover is doing time at Wormwood Scrubs, least you won’t have to worry about any unwarranted nagging or having your tea on the table at a decent hour. It’s a win-win situation.
Of all the dating sites destined to be created, it was this one. Now you can speak Klingon, pontificate over evaporating dilithium crystals, and re-watch William Shatner’s dodgy looking topper in the company of a like-minded, phaser-fixed companion. Live – or should that be love -long and prosper.
Satisfy your combined need for romance and weed by joining this site for stoners, though whether or not you’d be cognisant enough to remember to turn up for the date rather than get side-tracked in to purchasing a King Size Lion Bar from the 24-hour garage is another matter.
Obsessed with Star Wars? Spend your weekend playing Dungeons and Dragons? Proudly fly the flag for geekdom and be reassured by the fact others are just as gadget crazy, nerdy and techie as you.
They say a relationship is about sharing everything. Well, this takes that embodiment of the romantic spirit to the ultimate extreme. Share amusing anecdotes about your syphilis. Gloat proudly over your gonorrhoea. When they say love is infectious, is this really what they meant?
- Top Carrots
People with ginger hair have always suffered a certain degree of humiliation and ignominy, but this site has restored the balance. Whether you’re ginger yourself or have a particular penchant for those adorned with more fiery follicles, here you can chat and meet up without fearing the recrimination of being called a copper top ever again.
So if you’ve been unlucky in love so far, don’t fret; there’s hope for everyone because there’s a site that spotlights everyone’s very specific, often unusual desire for d’amour.
Do you know of – or indeed ever used – any of the more unconventional website routes to romance?
