Match.com and eHarmony are what people typically think of when online dating is mentioned. Yet, these sites don’t cater to the more bizarre or niche category of people who don’t fit this bland kind of dating. Whether it’s Singlesnet, PlentyofFish and the like it’s pretty much the same routine: take 1,000 pictures of yourself, choose two or three that stand out, write up a blurb on how awesome you are and you have at it! But what of the atypical markets? Are there homes for them? These ten sites are a pretty good indication that there is room for us all. Due to the subjective nature of people’s fetishes, this list is no specific order.
This site, dedicated to married/single folks seeking out “arrangements” with other married folks, sadly has (to date) 4,255,000 members. This site recently took off in America and was like a rash over popular radio station commercial breaks and contains the tagline: “Life is short. Have an affair!” The site GUARANTEES an affair if you sign up, although they do mention in their disclaimer that they are not personally held liable for personal injury or death that should happen to you if you use their services. Which, unfortunately, will be an unexpected guarantee as well. [Visit the site]
At a measly $2000 for a lifetime membership, this site boasts that it will find you a match based on PHYSICAL chemistry. Their CLIA/ASH-accredited lab analyzes your supplied DNA sample (immune system genes) to find that perfect someone, and then destroy it after they’re done with it. What are the benefits of DNA comparison?
* Chances are increased that you’ll love the natural body fragrance of your matches.
* You have a greater chance of a more satisfying sex life.
* Women tend to enjoy a higher rate of orgasms with their partners.
* Women have a much lower chance of cheating in their exclusive relationships.
* Couples tend to have higher rates of fertility.
* All other things being equal, couples have a greater chance of having healthier children with more robust immune systems.
You have a better than average chance at hooking up here for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, the site doesn’t list what these women’s offenses were to land them in prison, so you’re taking your chances. Surprisingly, if you get a chance to read the “What People are Saying About Us” page, the percentage is high for satisfied customers. Price-wise, it costs you a mere 3 dollars to obtain one address where you can converse via snail mail. The site even has an “Add to Cart” and “Checkout” button after you’re done shopping for your badass beauties! A huge plus is you can pretty much rely on the fact that they’re not going to cheat on you with your best friend. Or anyone else for that matter. [Visit the site]
If you happen to suffer from tinyophobia (the fear of little people), you might want to check this site out. It specifically caters to like-minded singles who are of a specific height, meaning TALL. Verbatim, their introduction is: “Welcome to the best, largest and most effective tall dating site in the world. This is the best place for looking for tall dating relationship or marriage. We bring together tall-dating minded singles from USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Europe and more. Here you could mingle with tall singles, tall beautiful women and tall handsome men.”
Other than meeting the height criteria, the site is standard fare with chat, forums, and the like. As an alternative there is a dating site for short people that can be found here. [Visit the site]
Are you schizophrenic? Do you suffer from paranoia? Do you play with your own waste with great delight? Well, thankfully a site has been created to match up people with histories of mental illness. Costing nothing to join with full access to all of its features, No Longer Lonely boasts it’s the only dating site of its kind. Now what could possibly go wrong here? And as an alternative, here’s a site for people suffering with an STD. Now if only they would combine these two. [Visit the site]
What couple argues about finances anymore? Here you can find that special someone who can debate whether Jean-Luc or James T. was the better captain, and then go snuggle under your Ewok/Death Star matching sheets. From the home page: “A 100% free online community and SciFi personals site for science fiction lovers, including but not limited to lovers of Star Trek and Star Wars.” Its tagline is: “Love long and Prosper!” Just remember to have your partner checked for Tribble infestation before becoming, *ahem*, intimate. [Visit the site]
Yes, online dating has been reduced to the shallowest end of the mudpuddle with this matchmaking service. The criteria to join is STRICT as they allow “beautiful people only.” And that doesn’t include inner beauty. They even include what they affectionately call the “Chimp Calculator” to test your unattractiveness level! Their tagline? “Online dating minus ugly people.” One can only imagine how much Photoshopping has been done to these profiles! [Visit the site]
For those of you who have been living on the moon as of late, the term “420 friendly” is slang for “I smoke weed.” Finally, the stoners have an online community where you can find someone you can share the munchies with. Strangely enough, the site’s Terms of Service page states: “The following is a partial list of the kind of Content that is illegal or prohibited on the Website. It includes Content that promotes information that you know is false, misleading or promotes illegal activities. It also states at the bottom of the landing page: ” 420dating.com does not advocate the use of any illegal substances.” And yet on the front page are photos of the latest “Featured Smokers” enjoying a nice healthy dose of hydroponics. Uhhhh, what? [Visit the site]
This site is for intrepid souls only! In a nutshell, you are not allowed to see any photos of your potential dates beforehand and the service will match you up according to where you live. At the time of this review, the website only boasted eight major U.S. cities, but there is an option to select your own location to see if they have a listing. There are three options to choose from: a solo date, a double date, or you don’t care. The novelty steps in when you next have the option of going out on a date that very same night! Next, you select the area in your chosen city you wish to go to, then sit back and wait for an e-mail confirmation that the date is scheduled. Not for the faint of heart! [Visit the site]
No, this isn’t a site for the aged and infirm wearing Depends. It’s the internet’s premiere FREE community for Adult Babies, Diaper Lovers, Big Kids, and fetishists galore who relish returning to a more peaceful time in their life: childhood. Apparently, these adult children grew up wearing plastic pants and “sissy clothes” as well. According to the site: “Adult Babies like to wear diapers, but also enjoy other babyish things. They may wear baby or sissy clothes such as Onesie-like snap-crotch T-shirts, rompers or play suits. They tend to like more colorful diaper covers and even frilly ruffled panty-style covers. Adult Babies may also enjoy drinking formula from baby bottles, or eating baby food. Generally they like to be treated totally like a baby during this play time, being changed, bathed, and even spanked by their partner who serves as their Mommy or Daddy.” There’s one out there for us all, eh? [Visit the site]
Another wow list!
Number 9 and 4 slightly remind me of something that was named “The Joy Division”!
LOL… Great list, needless to pointout my disappointment, loss for words at number 10… Sad to see that 4,255,000 people don’t value the sanctity of matrimony… Shame on the Ashley Madison agency for exploiting these people’s immorality! Just hope none of them have children! Sis(term used to express disgust)!!
Cool list but judging by the chosen photo, someone doesn’t really think highly of stoners :p
The 10th one just makes me sad. The others are… well, interesting studies in human behaviour ;x
This list is cool! Well done!
weird list,who wants to wear a diapers these people are crazy
Great list! Very interesting- There truly is someone for everyone
Ok, even I am astounded at number one! I thought that sort of thing only occurred on trashy ***** sites.
They say every 10 seconds the ‘Forgot Password?’ link is hit for #3.
LOL, Mookey! It took me a minute…
Why am I awake at 4:30 in the morning
#’s 9 and 4 actually sound reasonable they’re like eugenics via the internet
the most bizarre dating site i have ever seen ,one which men should put on their profile ((((((penis length)))))
do you believe it!!!!
All the fields with asterisk * are required fields
*penis length
I was horrified the first time I heard the comercial for Ashley Madison on the radio. I guess most of that horror was coming from the fact that this was being advertised on a mainstream radio station, even though it was after 11 PM. I am in no way implying that I was surprised such a site existed; I figure there must be a good percentage of people who use Adult Friend Finder for the same purpose.
The difference, of course, lies in the audacity of creating a site solely for people looking for affairs… and seemingly relishing in it. As if people need more help in supporting their infidelity. It is a time bomb just waiting to explode, too. You know sooner or later someone is going to murder their cheating spouse and hold the website as culpable – regardless of their disclaimer. If I was a hitman would giving you a written disclaimer that you must agree to get me out of being charged for murder? I hope the operators of that site are enjoying their success now because I feel it isn’t going to last very long.
With that said, it is now time for me to go to that Women Behind Bars site so I can go find the future Mrs. tmxicon.
HAHAHAHAHA!
In reference to the Ashley Madison Agency: People have been making quick cast off each other’s misery for a very long time. It was only a matter of time before someone tried to make some money off adultery.
Ha! I tried the Chimp Calculator, 20% Chimp.
The respond it gave when you tick all of the boxes was quite funny, are you reaaaally sure that it isn’t some kind of joke?
/Johan
Hi,
The webstats for women behind bars is brilliant (on directed page Left Hand Side theres a ball with a squiggle line through it). 15 of the last 20 people who have visited the site have done so by clicking the link from listverse.
Damn “Tall Friends!” I’m only freaking five foot two, and I’m a 15-year old male.
Anyway, these are just bizarre, although these relationships may work out because of things the two have in common with each other. Thrill is really a part of every relationship. So, visit this sites, sit back, and enjoy?
Ya know. When I saw the topic to this list I actually thought it might be scarier than this. Personally I think crazy blind date could be kinda fun.
I can just imagine the lengths damien_karras went to during his research. “Oh yes, mum/honey/(other). Just, um, checking the sports results!”
The List Universe boasts several pairs, mainly among the forum regulars. Gotta start a new forum: List Universe Lonely Hearts Forum. I can moderate but not participate.
oh and I scored 10% Chimp.
hint: to get 0% chimp, tick where it says
Do you have visible skin between your eye brows?
Have you been propositioned in the last 24 hours?
Nice work bro.
Now if they come up with a Peach Skoal hookups, I will finally find the woman of my dreams. . . .
I went to a small redneck school in South Texas and most of us guys dipped snuff – mostly Copenhagen. There was one red hot babe who dipped Skoal and none of us thought much of that idea, as in "Yuck, what if you kissed her when she had a dip in?" 'Struth, never once occurred to us dippers that they might feel the same way about us. But hey, we were typical dumbass high schoolers, way cool and all, wearin' our cowboy hats, *****kickers and big ass belt buckles…
P.S. There's no truth to the rumor that we had our name on the back of our belt so we'd know who we were when we pulled our head out of our ass!
I’ve never heard the term “420 friendly”. Since it says, “for those living on the moon as of late…” I take it that it’s a popular slang. I guess I’m not hip.
If I was single I would probably try crazy blind date.
Way to go, damien_karras! These were hilarious! The Trek Passions sounds…interesting. pfft!
Yay for ugly people!
As for the chimp calculator…I would score a 0% without cheating.
@astraya (23): Great idea! I was one of the “pairs”, briefly, and it was fun while it lasted…
@bucslim (26): One of my best friends is in a long time relationship with a woman who dips Kodiak regularly. And he can’t get enough of her!
????? I reckon that the diaper fetishists should be included on the mental health dating website
Okay, some of those are a bit odd but the closed mindedness in regards to No Longer Lonely astounds me. Its not a site for ax murderers or lobotomised people. It is a site for people who suffer from very real diseases. As someone who suffers from bipolar disorder, which is easily controlled through medication or in my case a regular sleep pattern, I know how hard it is for someone who has never experienced this kind of thing to understand especially when it comes to dating.
Sadly the author of this list, in his ignorance and stpidity, decided it is a horrible thing for people who have mental illness to look for love. I guess we should all be penned up labor camps?
Ignorant sack of sh$t.
Finally! After all of these months on listverse I finally found a list to help my newly single status!
Thank you, Listverse. Although, there are a few I’ll stay away from…
good job, monkey. I’ll stick with what I’m doing. Except maybe for the blind date one. That actually looks kind of fun. Not for soulmates…just for fun.
@callie19 (33): To be honest, you were what inspired me to make this list. Glad you enjoyed it.
I can’t believe you missed the one they launched here in the UK a couple of months ago which is a site where you have to have a penis of minimum 7 inches to be a member! Was in the London Paper a few weeks back, can’t remember what it was called though.
Hmm do I sign up to the tall page or the beautiful page? Its so hard being this damn good.
wow dread pirate bob, such animosity regarding a silly list. I don’t here the stoners or Trekers on here slinging insults, but then again the stoners probably got distracted half way through. Perhaps anger issues is what prevents certain people from meeting that special someone.
I daresay, everyone will now be heading off to chimpcalc to see if they pass the threshold! Any of the other sites, and I have a feeling there will be a lack of admission.
I think I’ll forward the links to the mental disorder dating site and the big baby site to my ex. Haha he deserves to find love too! :p
@dread pirate bob (31):
I totally agree! I have a schizophrenic brother (regulated well with meds) who is very lonely but has no idea how to meet someone. He’s the sweetest guy you’ll ever meet but as he doesn’t leave the house much and has zero confidence in talking to strangers how’s he supposed to meet a woman? I might have a look at this site and see if he’d be interested.
Also try patientslikeme.com It’s a great social networking site for crazies!!! (I have bipolar, bpd, and PTSD.)
You mean there are enough people on this earth who wear diapers that a dating website is devoted to this exclusively? What a sad and sick world. The one on mental illness could actually be helpful to some people, lets just hope they don’t procreate. Natural selection at it’s best.
@41. Awfully judgmental, no? Surely you or someone you have dated has an unusual kink.
Wow, this list was very…hmm…how do i put this? Disturbing. Though, I think I’ll stick to men, thank you very much.
Wow, 10 needs to be shut down. The creators of the site probably think, or rather constantly tell themselves, that their site is being used exclusively by “swinger” couples, but there are so many people out there who think having an affair would be exciting.-_- Hurrah for defiling the sanctity of not just marriage but relationships in general!
The rest of these sites, though, seem pretty normal. Everyone has a kink, and some are just more open and creative about theirs.
The diapers one is probably stemmed from either having a completely spoiled childhood, or having no childhood whatsoever. Its for people who want to be cared for by a ‘mommy’ or ‘daddy’ who do everything for them, and give them the parental affection they probably missed when they were young. Its not as uncommon as you may think, but it is a little strange. But it makes more sense than some other fetishes that this site has showcased.
WOW, what kind of ***** makes fun of the mentally ill? Whomever wrote this has problems him/herself.
@ j reb (37)
The difference being that stoners and Trekkies get to choose their passion/obsession, and those with mental illness do not. As a recovered sufferer of mild OCD, I can vouch for how confusing and frustrating even a small degree of mental instability can be. I can only imagine how challenging it must be for a schizophrenic or bipolar person to meet and continue a relationship. I think his anger is absolutely justified.
It’s one thing to make fun of a person for their hobbies, and quite another to poke fun at actual illnesses. Would you think he was overreacting if they had been making fun of a site dedicated to helping amputees or quadripelegics find love? Why should mental handicaps be any different?
Lighten up, Bert. Everybody has disabilities of one kind or another, and fortunately mental disabilities are recognized and often treatable.
1. – Freaks
Whooo hoooooo I’m 40% chimp so they told me to go away roflmao.
(at least I’ve always got the wife to come home to…………….to change my dirty diaper).
And the crazy blind date…………….I always wear a gimp mask when I’m going on dates…………..which would explain why I don’t get another
Oh….loving to wear diapers and have my girlfriend wear diapers isn’t normal? Oops..
@Stevie C (48): Pffft, as if you don’t have your own secret freaky weird fetish. People are entitled to what gets them off, and if they can find other people that are into the same thing, more power to them. I hear ringtailroxy’s into S&M, (hot, I like a little spanking :p) and I’m sure some people think that’s weird too, but like I said, whatever gets you off.
Except for pedophiles. They deserve to be jailed.
The creator for Ashley Madison spoke on the radio, here in Toronto (where I think it started), defending the site claiming it was actually strengthening marriages since they’re people who love their spouses but aren’t receiving physical satisfaction, or what not, so thus there’s nothing wrong with a mutual agreement of “just *****” between users.
It boggles the mind that anyone can not only justify this but actively enable it
@Kage (51): there entitled to what gets them off yeah but it doesn’t change the fact that they are still FREAKS. From your previous comment i suspect you’d be up for pretending to be a baby and letting your girlfriend or whatever change your nappy; one of the weirdest fetishes i’ve ever heard. certainly blows ‘a little spanking’ out of the water
@Stevie C (53): Hah, no not neccessarily one for diapers my friend, but hey if I’m a freak because I like a little kink, whatever. But if you came across the most beautiful woman who you felt was the one, and she had a freaky fetish, you’d drop her like a stone? Sad day, friend, when one is so vanilla, they can’t spice up their ***** life with something interesting and new. A lot of marriages end because of that, you know.
thats some messed up ***** right there
@Kage (54): Calm down there bud. I’m not saying that all fetishes/kink are wrong or immoral are anything like that; that’s just silly, i think you’ve read me wrong. Of course you need to spice up your ***** life in certain ways. I’m just saying that dressing like a baby one in particular is just a bit too far.
Hahaha, people in this world crack me up.
I don’t see why people are making such a fuss out of #10. I mean sure, it’s wrong to cheat on your spouse, but if you’re going to do it anyway, why not find the right person to cheat with? It’s not like somebody is going to stumble onto that website and think, “Hey, I’ve never thought about it before in my life, but it kind of looks fun to have an affair! Where do I sign up?” It’s more like, “Oh cool, finally a place where I can find a decent affair. I’m getting tired of the pool boy…”
Great list, nonetheless :]
Oh, my comment to you wansn’t in anger at all, hon. Well, think of it this way, every fetish has its extremes, and they all get more severe the deeper into the rabbit hole you get. Spanking branches into S&M, as well as the baby fetish. It all depends on how you look at it. If you want to be spanked by your daddy because you’re naughty, (I’m a girl, btw) then you probably will lean more toward ‘naughty kid’ spanking, if you want to be spanked by your master, then you probably lean more toward ‘domination’ spanking, much more severe in many cases.
Enough of this spanking talk, that’s all fair and good, i understand that; but i can’t get my head around people who pretend to be babies to get off. They have got to be a bit weird. Can someone back me up here?lol
I wonder if Scientific Match ever matches people that are related O_O
Speaking from experience the diaper fetish or ABDL is far more diverse than explained in the list. It reaches into BDSM, Furry and Cosplay (probably a lot of others) with all soughts inbetween. Anyway it wont matter what u may think of me just giving some extra information. Anybody interested on more information about this fetish just type in ABDL on google. Personly I think Daily Daipers is a wonderful website allowing people who may have previously thought to be alone to come together and if not meet in person at least chat online.
I’ve used No Longer Lonely in the past, and met a great friend on there using it. I’ve given up on online dating, and I’ve started using http://www.meetup.com to expand my circle of friends and developing a possible relationship right now with the help of it. I don’t think any other site has topped it, since the only expectation is to meet new people. Plenty of Fish and Okcupid are two others I’ve used, but women barley ever reply I’m not wasting my time with them anymore.
