Dating Sites for Smart People: A Guide to Niche Dating for Singles

The following is a brief analysis of dating/singles websites that are designed to bring nerds, dorks, geeks, or whatever you want to call "smart, quirky" people together for casual dating or long-term relationships (most of the sites leaning toward the former).

Nerd Passions

This online dating sphere is for those who consider themselves (or possibly are considered by others) to be geeky, nerdy, dorky, or however you choose to define this gro0up of people that in most social situation are considered to be outcasts. Basically, judging from the homepage alone, the term geek or nerd in this context is supposed to define the super intelligent, overly studious and maybe just the awkward, eccentric folks. The brunette girl on the homepage is adjusting her stereotypical thick nerdy glasses and the site describes itself as "boldly eschewing the shackles of conventional popularity, a place to embrace your nerdiness. This site definitely seems quality and worth the time it takes to fill out an enticing profile- that is, as long as you can keep up with the rest of the smarties. Your geekiness will be put to the test in the free chat room or forum (or even more so through the site Instant Messenger) when you are asked to discuss your favorite books and favorite websites. And you better work hard on that profile, for people can search by keywords and some of the most popular sear5ches today alone were certainly bizarre and unlikely when it comes to what most people look for in a date. Among the typical "busty" and bisexual" people also searched for "physics", "Lincoln", "Lovecraft", "Geology" Matrix" and "seti". Who puts "Matrix" in their profile except those hardcore fans of Keanu Reeves? Or for that matter, Lincoln? Nerd Passions is fascinating, well designed and plenty of geeky members. And better yet, everything you do there is free! (Or so they say).
