PARAMUS POST — Apr 8 — Cacus, a 23-year-old college student, is a geek. She turned to gk2gk.com (geek to geek), a Web site that encourages members to list their favorite board games and rate how important "Star Trek" is in their lives. Niche dating sites; datealittle.com (for little people), datingforsmokers.com, starmatch.com (astrology), veggie-romance.com & veggieconnection.com & happycow.net & veggiedate.org, goodgenes.com & rightstuffdating.com (snobs), philanderers.com (cheating bastards), sportsfanmatch.com & athleticwomen.com, spiritsingles.com, maydecember.net (for those who prefer someone much older or younger).

Internet Dating: A Consumer’s Guide, Part III
NY PRESS — Jan 11 — TheSquare is a website much like RightStuffDating but with broader and more general ambitions. It limits membership to alumni of "elite" colleges and universities, and offers job and event listings. Its membership is several times larger then RightStuffDating. Lavalife is the tiki bar of online dating sites. Its functionality is poor, and I had such a tough time figuring out how to use its menus that I was never actually able to use it properly and never went out with anyone from it. Median age appears to be mid-20s and the focus is on photos. EHarmony members aren't permitted to search the site and selectively e-mail. The site decides who will be compatible.
