This content originally appeared on Mashable for a US audience and has been adapted for UK audiences.
Mashable’s readers (and writers) are known for being obsessed with the things we love. You could say we’re kind of geeks when it comes to things. Okay, fine, we’re geeks. That doesn’t bother us because geeks are awesome.
Dating as a geek involves fighting through the normals and dating the same group of locals too often. This is where dating sites can help.
Why do people use dating sites?
Even the most amazing geeks can use a little help in the dating department. Not because there aren’t enough geeks, but because it’s difficult to go out as a geek. When it comes to women, there may be a lot of creepy men who want their manic elf dream woman. For men, simply trying not to be that guy can mean a lot. If you are one of the most geeks who are a bit introverted, dating can be really intimidating.
News Flash: Loving science fiction and being madly in love are not mutually exclusive, and dating site success stories prove this. You can still find love in the real world, but subscribing to a dating site reduces your chances of making a connection.
Do you have to pay for the best dating apps?
The good news is that there are many free dating sites and apps, and Tinder and Hinge are extremely popular options with huge networks of users. Most of the biggest and best dating sites also offer free versions of their services (with limitations on certain features). You can easily join the online dating game without spending anything, but sometimes free apps just aren’t enough.
With dating sites and apps, you get what you pay for. For the best experience and the greatest chance of finding exactly what you’re looking for, you’ll need to dig a little deeper. The best dating sites don’t come cheap, and while you can still find a hookup with a free app, if you’re looking for compatibility tests, chat rooms, videos, and a greater level of control, consider upgrading.
What is the best dating site for geeks?
We compared all the top dating sites, trendy swiping apps, and geek-specific sites on the Internet to find the ones where geeks can express themselves and find that special someone. Hidden among the millions of users you could find the person who hated this game of ThronesS ends up just like you or someone dreaming of the perfect couple cosplay. Maybe you’re a geek on the street and a geek on the sheets – there are plenty of apps where geeks can easily find one connectto.
As far as general dating sites go, we really like Match because it has a proven algorithm and a huge user base. Geek-specific dating sites that aren’t completely outdated are few and far between, but Gamer Dating impressed us. We’ve looked at everything on offer and put together a handpicked selection of the best dating options for geeks and nerds, including popular services like Match, eharmony and AdultFriendFinder.
These are the best online dating sites for geeks and nerds in 2023.
