Love and Specificity: 5 Odd Online Dating Sites for Valentine’s Day.

Look, there’s no accounting for taste. The heart wants what the heart wants, and people get together for all sorts of weird reasons. For instance, my wife and I met at a druidic S&M ritual after a 24-hour rave in the catacombs beneath Paris. This might seem weird to some people, but we’ve been together 17 years now and all of this is totally true, so far as you know.

The good news is the Digital Age, in her infinite wisdom, has provided us with online matchmaking services for everyone. In honor of Valentine’s Day, we present five online matchmaking services for discriminating lonely hearts.

Clown Dating.

The go-to joke with a situation like this is to suggest that clowns are scary and the idea of clown dating site is terrifying. But here at Yahoo Tech, we endeavor to remain above such cheap shots. Actually, the idea makes a lot of sense. Clowns presumably have common lifestyle issues that others don’t, like makeup removal and giant shoe expenses and what to do with all those nurses buried in the crawlspace. From the website: It’s no fun looking for love when you’re a clown, for behind all the make-up and the red nose is a lonely heart. Indeed.

Gluten Free Singles.

If these young people look uncommonly happy, that’s because they’ve thrown off the oppressive yoke of … gluten! Partner site to the less specific Healthdate.com, Gluten Free Singles offers the usual array of services – chat rooms, personal messaging – plus profile options for indicating why, precisely, you’ve chosen the gluten-free lifestyle. Hey, if love blossoms from a shared aversion to cereal grain byproducts, then surely it was meant to be.
