Dating Sites For Those Who Know What They Want

Posted on December 5, 2011

Online_dating keyboard2TELEGRAPH.CO.UK – Dec 5 - The internet dating industry is worth £2.5 billion worldwide. But if people really know what they want, the big general websites probably aren’t for them. Specialist sites can connect them with vegans, pagans, bald men, short women, wannabe Wags or triathletes. Mark Brooks, an internet dating consultant and the editor of Online Personals Watch, says, 'Many users are addicted to choice, and this has helped cause expectations to rise.’ The truth is, 'People often don’t know what they really want. The more selective you are the less likely you are to be compatible on other levels.’ On the upside, he says, 'Niche dating can get the toughest questions out of the way up front.’

The Best Niche Websites
- Teeforetwo.co.uk sets up single golfers with partners to play with, and for dates
– Brainiacdating.com and sweetongeeks.com is for bright people
– Redhead-world.net is an international social network for redheads
- Paganpartners.co.uk for druids, shamans or wiccans
- Alternativedatinguk.co.uk specialises in goth, emo and, er, vampire dating
– veggieromance.com is for vegetarians
- ethicalsingles.com is for people with a humanitarian outlook

    well, it’s really a boost nowadays, aside from that, it’s trendy at the same time. but what we need to consider is that we should not entrust our private information easily to the person or people we never really knew that much.
