22 Weird Dating Sites You Won’t Believe Exist

The internet has revolutionized the way we date. Not that long ago you needed to head to a bar and meet strangers if you wanted to get a date. These days you can pick your poison using your mobile phone thanks to the introduction of dating apps. These online platforms allow you to meet potential partners from all over the world, with the likes of Tinder, Hinge, and eHarmony three of the leading apps used by millions of people. While these mainstream sites are great, there is also a plethora of weird dating sites that cater to specific niches. 

These dating websites and apps enable you to connect with like-minded people who share the same interests. These range from people who love wearing diapers to those who enjoy smoking weed. Despite their quirky nature, these sites have gained popularity among those looking for unconventional relationships or simply seeking to broaden their dating horizons.

While these dating sites aren’t for everyone, there are people out there who use them regularly as a way to connect with unique individuals who they can bond with over their shared passions. As society becomes more open to these non-traditional lifestyles, more and more weird dating websites are popping up, with some of the strangest listed below. 

22 Weird Dating Sites You Won’t Believe Exist

1. Clown Dating

Anyone with coulrophobia should stop reading now. As strange as it sounds, there is a dating site for those who are attracted to clowns. Clown Dating is for those who work as clowns, enabling them to show what’s underneath the makeup. The website also attracts lots of people who identify as coulrophilia, which is the word used to describe those sexually attracted to red noses, big shoes, and bright-colored hair.

It might sound weird but there are people out there who enjoy wearing diapers. These people are looking for partners with similar interests who can accept them for who they are, diapers and all. The website is easy to navigate and allows you to connect with nappy lovers across the world who you can chat and share photos with.

4. Mullet Passions

One haircut that has come back into fashion in recent years is the mullet. Business at the front and party at the back, this ridiculous hairstyle is favored by both men and women and has led to the creation of Mullet Passions. The online dating and social network site is ideal for those who share a passion for mullets. The site allows you to share photos and videos of your own mullet while connecting to a worldwide community.

5. Ugly Schmucks 

If you’ve been hit by the ugly stick and struggle to match with people on regular dating sites, Ugly Schmucks might be able to reverse your fortunes. Aimed at those who are deemed to be less attractive (we think you are all beautiful, both inside and out), this dating site prioritizes personality over looks, which in reality, should be what everyone does when looking for a partner. 

Ugly Schmucks is not only ideal for those who might not be seen as attractive, but also for anyone who has low self-esteem about their appearance or issues with their body.

6. Ashley Madison

Feel like having an affair? Sign up to Canadian-based dating site Ashley Madison and become the adulterous partner you’ve always wanted to be. This site has come under fire for promoting extramarital affairs, which is a fair call, but has been around since 2001, so it’s obviously working. It’s certainly a niche dating site that won’t appeal to everyone except for cheaters.

7. Sea Captain Date

This online dating site calls itself the “number one dating site for Sea Captains,” which is not at all surprising. People who work at sea often spend months at a time by themselves, meaning it’s hard to find the time to make connections with prospective love interests.

Sea Captain Date was designed for maritime professionals by Bill Kay in the mid-00s. The website has many testimonials and has been featured on Good Morning America and in The New York Times and The Independent.

8. Trek Dating

Share your love of Star Trek with a fellow Enterprise fan with this simple-to-use dating site. Trek Dating is all about meeting fellow Trekkies you might be able to strike up a relationship with you. Be prepared to have your Star Trek knowledge tested though, as this isn’t a dating site for casual fans. You need to know your Borg from your Orion and agree that Sir Patrick Stewart is the best Captain Picard.

9. 420 Singles

Weed smokers rejoice as you can find your stoner soulmate with 420 Singles. Launched in 2011, this is the leading dating app for Mary Jane lovers and is described as “a place to meet single people in the cannabis community looking for love.” The site works similarly to Tinder, giving you the ability to swipe left or right on prospective matches. This is just one of many dating sites aimed at cannabis fans, with Blazr and Date420Single also great options.

10. Gothic Match

Goths are a subculture that continues to appeal to many young people who are lost in the world. While most picture goths as freaks who dress in all black and are obsessed with the dark side of life, the origins of goths actually go back to the post-punk rock scene of 80s England. 

As you are unlikely to run into a goth in your everyday life unless you’re attending concerts regularly, Gothic Match is a fantastic way to meet fellow emos. Not only can you connect and chat with like-minded folk, but Gothic Match has a blog, offers dating advice, features an open forum, and even promotes goth fashion and tattoo shows.

11. GolfSingles

Golf is one of those sports people either love or hate. If you’re a fan, you probably hit the links at least once a week. Getting in nine or 18 holes is a great way to relieve stress and also a fantastic way to get to know someone. Which is where GolfSingles can be of assistance. This dating site can help you find a fellow golfer to bond with on the course and see if the sparks fly.

12. DateMyPet

Despite the name, this site isn’t about bestiality. It’s a dating site for people with pets. The tagline reads: “Whether you are looking for a life partner, a buddy for your pet, or just someone to hang out with, here you’ll be able to find exactly who you are looking for – pet lovers like yourself.”

So if you want a partner who loves dogs or isn’t allergic to your cat, DateMyPet will help you find your ideal match. Free to join, you can share pictures of you and your pet and hopefully find a loving match who wants to raise a family of four-legged animals.

13. CanDoBetter

When it comes to weird and horrible dating sites, look no further than CanDoBetter. Couples upload photos of each other and then are rated by the community about whether they can do better. If people think you can do better, you are able to start matching and chatting with other members. We don’t recommend this site and think there are plenty of better options out there.

14. HerpesFish

This dating site probably isn’t that weird considering 67% of the population have herpes, but it’s certainly aimed at a niche audience. People with herpes can find it hard to meet others who are accepting of the sexually transmitted infection. That’s where this site comes in handy.

There are no awkward conversations about admitting you have an STI or how that works when it comes to getting intimate. People with herpes can just match and find the person of their dreams.

15. Date Skaters

Ever wanted to date a skater? Now you can thanks to Date Skaters. This dating site gives you the ability to fulfill your Avril Lavigne “Sk8er Boi” fantasies and find the kick-flipping skater of your dreams.

Like so many of these dating websites, the actual site is rudimentary and it’s hard to tell if anyone actually uses it, but if you believe in the website’s mission statement then you will soon find yourself skating up a storm at your local skate park with your new partner.

16. Amish Dating 

Considering how small Amish communities are, you would think it would be easy to get a date. But the strict lives they lead means meeting a potential partner can be tricky, so a dating site like Amish Dating might be the only way for some Amish folk to connect.

Featuring an Amish couple riding in a horse and cart on the homepage, it takes just five easy steps to sign up and start your dating adventure in the Amish community.

17. Vampire Passions

Now this is a niche dating site. As the name suggests, Vampire Passions is a great way for people obsessed with Twilight to share their bloodlust in a safe and friendly environment.

While it is meant to be a site for vampires and vampire lovers, we don’t think there will be too many actual vampires signing up, especially as they don’t appear in photos. That aside, this is a great way for single people to match and share their vampire fantasies and maybe even meet their own Count Dracula.

18. Farmers Only

Heard of the television series Farmer Wants a Wife? Well if you can’t get on then this is your next best way to find yourself a man (or woman) of the land. As well as finding a farmer, the website offers dating tips on its blog – such as “5 Tips for Dating a Rancher” and “What Shouldn’t You Do When Meeting a Date for the First Time” – and has a section dedicated to the site’s success stories.

19. Miss Travel

Miss Travel is actually a pretty smart idea. The basic premise of this dating website is to connect travelers with other people who share a passion for exploring the world. Anyone who travels frequently or is living that remote worker life understands how hard it can be to make connections, so Miss Travel makes it easier by matching you with fellow thrill seekers. 

Founded by Brandon Wade, who also runs several other niche dating sites, Miss Travel has over 1 million users worldwide, a number that is continually growing by the day. It’s the perfect option for those sick of Tinder and similar dating sites.

20. FurryMate

For the uninitiated, furry is the term given to those who enjoy dressing in animal costumes and engaging in sexual activities with others. This is probably something that’s not exactly easy to talk about when you first meet a potential match, but you can save any embarrassment by signing up to FurryMate. 

Founded in 2011, the site is dedicated to bringing people who identify with the furry community together to find love. It’s certainly one of the weirdest dating sites we’ve come across but is sure appeal to those who enjoy wearing furry costumes.

Hot sauce is all the rage these days. If you like your food hot and spicy, there is nothing worse than having a partner with a low heat tolerance level. Hot Sauce Passions is here to fix that.

This dating website matches hot sauce lovers so you never have to worry about ordering food that’s plain and boring. As the site proclaims, “If you are the type of person who tries to get a sliver of jalapeno on every nacho, then you have come to the right place.”
