Among the multitude of online dating sites, there remains a slim margin of those catering to specific and perhaps unusual interests. Although they may sound a little strange, they’re a great place to find people with similar interests in a place free of judgment. Here are a few examples:
ScientificMatch.com: this online dating website requires a bit of DNA instead of a multiple choice compatibility test to find your matches. By analyzing your DNA and comparing it to other users, they determine your matches based on your genetic material. Among the benefits proposed by its creators, Scientific Match guarantees that you'll love the way your match smells, you will be sexually compatible, less likely to cheat, have better odds at conception, and that any potential offspring will have better immune systems due to the site's algorithmic dedication to genetic diversity. Sound interesting? It will only set you back about $2,000. Looking for something a little more affordable? Try GenePartner.com. They offer similar services for only $100.
DarwinDating.com: their tagline? "Online dating for beautiful people only!" They even have a list of dating rules excluding any type of non-beautiful traits or behaviors. Among them: no nerdy glasses, no mullets, no red hair and too many freckles, no out of date fashions, and no overuse of bright blue eye shadow. Sound shallow and limited? Perhaps, but it obviously has an audience. If you demand physical beauty from your date, this may be the place to go!
Gk2gk.com[*1] : Need a little intellectual stimulation in your date? Try Geek 2 Geek. Providing a refreshing contrast to the beautiful people dating site, Geek 2 Geek is a place for geeks and lovers of geeks to meet and date. Among the proposed reasons why one might want to date a geek, they write that geeks don't cheat, appreciate their mates, haven't formed bad relationship habits, have an imagination, and tend to be happy and successful in their chosen field.
PositiveSingles.com: this online date is specifically catered to people with STDs. I found this site particularly interesting because it allows people with STDs to be upfront and straight forward with each other without the fear of judgment.
Agematch.com[*2] : Looking for someone within a specific age group? This online dating site allows you to search by age. It is the self-proclaimed site for pairing older women with younger men or older men with younger women, excelling in age-gap dating.
