Niche dating sites are on the rise. Niche dating sites are dating sites for finding the other people in your weird subculture.

Farmers Only is one of the more successful niche dating sites that have cropped up in the last few years, and are just hitting their stride. I talked to a couple of founders, who are fine with being the little guy in the world of Match.coms, OkCupids, and EHarmonys.

Also metioned in the article is Atlasphere (for Ayn Rand fans), Trek Passions, OkComrade, and GlutenFreeSingles. Even one for Alex Jones fans.

Online dating has made me realize that I really don't care a bunch about "chemistry," "compatibility," or whatever other stupid words dating sites use. My primary qualifiers go on a one to ten scale.

That said, I'm curious what other niche's exist, how you'd game them, and what niches you wish existed.

It's probably a good idea. On a mainstream dating site there are seemingly endless choices. Sifting through thousands and thousands of options can be exhausting. And how many people even find what they want online? The majority of guys and girls I know don't get much out of it. Narrowing down a niche may remove that endless choice factor and help you find the relatively small pool of people that you'll naturally vibe with.

I'd like to have a niche site for people that have been to at least ten countries. Or maybe one for people who can speak more than one language. Or for people with eclectic music taste, or for people that are intellectually and culturally curious. And of course one for people who are not fat! Or better yet, combined the aforementioned into one.

meetup.com is a good one. I haven't experimented much with it, busy with too many other sites but I can totally see how finding people in your niche would help get dates and bangs.

Christianmingle.com

-- Too scared to try it out for feeling that God will smite me --

Blackpeoplemeet.com

--I'm white, but inherently, that doesn't matter. Have not verified this.--

I WISH there was a dating site for emo/scene girls. Something about that pale skin and cotton candy hair... Add a host of emotional problems/ daddy issues and you've got a winning combo.

I would game them by making them smile and laugh, 2 things they don't do often, while her happiness became dependent upon me.
I would then proceed to 'Dennis' the chick and for those who don't know, it goes like this...

D - Demonstrate Value
E - Engage Physically
N - Nurture dependence
N - Neglect Emotionally
I - Inspire hope
S - Separate entirely

Granted, those girls have been known to be bat-shit crazy. I'll take my chances. And a can of mace.

The source of my first online notch.

Goth Scene

Good times.

Thanks player_1337. As much as i hate online dating sites I'm going to have to try this one out. Tell me though, do you rock a gothic-esque style or think that would be necessary? I don't exactly look good in all black with liquid paper white skin.

www.vampirefreaks.com ?

Good luck, though-- they're mostly there to soak up free online attention, in my experience

[MidniteSpecial]

I'm on glutenfreesingles. Very few fat women on that site. Most are in shape and serious about their bodies.

[Basil Ransom]

Midnite, have you gotten laid off it?

[Fortis]

There's a site called Ninjapassions. Seems pretty legit. Ha

[bojangles]

i might make a worldwide dating site for womenwhowannafuckanindian.com, of course the only male profile will be mine.

Cool concept. It's funny that's been my basic formula for first dates since since started to know what I was doing.

Between Demonstrate and Engage I would add forged emotional connection and leave out the separate part(first date formula obviously.) Nurture and Neglect stay because it's a powerful weapon to make her feel like she may lose out by not buying in on you early. Inspire makes her feel secure enough to jump to you, but not completely comfortable to remove the sense of danger that works for your attraction.

Although I'm fair with dark hair- I never sported the stereotypical goth attire. I used the site briefly in the summer of 2009- with a vague profile and 2 or 3 pics.

Thanks. I know where I'll meet my future wife now.

[Fortis]

Exactly. Ninjas are flexible....in bed.

[Fortis]

But seriously, is anyone actually a member of ninjapassions AND has anyone pulled from the site? I'm quite tempted to sign up and run text game. Then I can say I banged a ninja.

There are 100s of niche dating sites. If you have the time and live in a well populated area, it would be worth the time to check them out (hint: industry news sites like onlinepersonalswatch). The main thing to watch out for is a lot of sites populate themselves with fake female profiles. The smaller players have gotten in trouble for it, yet its a proven way to make money and others keep doing it.

[puckerman]

I haven't tried Atlasphere. I suspect it's largely because of my experience with Randian women in real life. They are narcissist, passive aggressive, and dishonest.

The ratio of men to women in Randian circles is about three to one. Interestingly enough, I've heard that it was about even back in the 1960's. I often wonder what happened.

That being said, if you have good game, have a good job, and are in shape, you'll score easily with them. Fuck the shit out of them, but don't ever get into a relationship with them.

Personally I stay off all dating sites. Too much of a meat market. Day game is the best.

[Carlos100]

BeautifulPeople.com. A lot can, and has, been written about the people who use that site.

Meetup.com is not a dating site.
