Valentine’s Day is over and perhaps you are one of the unlucky few who spent it alone.
After a day of a million Facebook statuses full of hearts, sweet words and sexual innuendos, the thought might be, “I need to be in a relationship next Feb. 14.”
There is a solution to your problem. This is the 21st century, and it’s time to use technology to find that perfect partner so you will never have to be alone again.
Anyone can go to eHarmony.com or OkCupid.com to find that special match, but there are some individuals who are a little picky. Those with more refined tastes have no need to worry because there is an oddly specific dating site for everyone, no matter what the taste.
Problem: “I love the way I look, and wish I could find someone who looks just like me.”
Solution: Findyourfacemate.com
Facemate uses facial recognition software that reads 67 different points on the face and finds someone with similar facial features. Instead of spending all day looking in the mirror being called a narcissistic jerk, find someone who looks just like you to stare at.
Problem: “I’m a hardcore Apple fanboy, but every Apple fangirl I find is just a poser.”
Solution: Cupidtino.com
Hardcore Apple fans will know that the namesake Cupidtino is a combination of Cupid (god of desire) and Cupertino (headquarters of Apple Inc.). The site describes itself as more of a café than a dating site. A Mac is obviously required to sign up for the service. Membership costs $4.79 a month, which is pegged to the cost of a venti mocha light at the Starbucks in Cupertino, Calif.
Problem: “I am a crazy cat lady, but I don’t want to be alone for the rest of my life.”
Solution: Purrsonals.com
Purrsonals is built around the theory that cat lovers sometimes need a little more companionship than their cats are able to provide. Not only a dating site, Purrsonals also boasts being a social networking site for getting cat lovers together as friends.
Problem: “I’m ridiculously good looking and wish I could find someone else up to my standards.”
Solution: Darwindating.com
Darwin dating specifies “Survival of the Sexiest.” It features a list of 41 different rules for its members. No red hair, overuse of bright blue eye shadow, mullets, acne, hairy feet or excessive freckles. Other details on Darwin dating include height, weight and ownership of a car.
Problem: “I’m allergic to shellfish, dairy, wheat, food coloring and preservatives, and I need to find someone who understands my special dietary needs.”
Solution:
A website devoted entirely to people with food allergies finding someone to love. Imagine the convenience, of no longer having to deal with a lovers who are addicted to peanut butter or eggs. The website also provides non-medical tips and advice from members on dealing with food allergies and lovers who won’t abide to them.
Problem: “Normal men/women just don’t excite me; I need the excitement of the sea.”
Solution: Seacaptaindate.com
Finally, a website trying to combine single land lovers and sea captains. The website boasts over 10,000 single sea captains who are just waiting to connect. The website also allows lonely sea captains to meet up with and find other captains for both romantic and platonic relationships. The website isn’t all old fishermen with unkempt beards. There are also a large number of spoiled rich kids, who are willing to give out rides on their fathers’ boats.
In the end, there is a bevy of websites offering to help anyone, no matter what their tastes, in finding someone. There are countless oddly specific websites out there, and hopefully everyone can find his or her true match.
