No one wants to be alone on Christmas. Then again, online dating can be such a pain. Hundreds of thousands of users log on every day, and with only basic tools to filter through them, people can get matched with literally hundreds of other users. That's why the more specific sites exist: if you're looking for someone special but don't want to go through hundreds of other people to get there, then using a site tailored to your preferences makes sense.
Of course, there's definitely a limit on how specific a site can get before the whole thing gets weird. Looking for someone who's into sports or certain kinds of food is fine, but why would anyone in their right mind need to find someone with food allergies, or a sea captain? Yes, those are real sites, and trust us - it only gets weirder from there...
By far the most popular site on this list, FarmersOnly.com became something of a sensation a few years back. It was first in what would become a resurgence of bizarre dating sites, but it's still relatively tame. At the very least, it makes sense: out in rural areas, it's probably harder to find someone who's date-worthy. Then again, those early commercials were a sight to behold.
It's quite possibly the saddest thing on the internet: a dating website dedicated entirely to ugly people. Granted, at the most basic of levels, the site could be a useful tool, but watching people degrade and categorize themselves as 'ugly' is all sorts of sad. The fact that the site is as popular as it is just puts the icing on a very depressing, lonely cake.
There's rushing things, and then there's Marry Me Already. If you're looking for the shortest engagement ever, Marry Me Already is designed for men and women who are tired of looking for someone to marry and just want to get on with it. The premise doesn't sound so bad - those looking for marriage should be able to find like-minded people - but the name of the site itself is so pushy and creepy that even people looking for marriage will probably get scared off.
Who's to say that the crazy cat-lady across the hall can't find true love? Now, it's easy to think that Purrsonals is just a way for cat owners to find someone with similar interests, which is surely what the site's original purpose was. However, upon diving in, the reality of the situation becomes apparent quickly: Purrsonals isn't for the average cat lover, it's for those who love their cat just as much as their partner.
The site's about as self-explanatory as it gets. For those looking to skip all of the unnecessary 'dating' part of a relationship, I Would Bang You exists. Simply create a profile, then go about telling random people if you would sleep with them or not - no context or prior knowledge of their personality required. If it sounds like something that you could get slapped if you ever tried it in real life, that's because it most certainly is.
There's no telling if users from I Would Bang You end up at STDMatch, but there's probably a bit of crossover. Again, the site does make sense and serves a purpose, but the fact that a dating service for those with sexually transmitted diseases needs to exist in the first place is already sort of sad. Sad, and incredibly gross.
There's ridiculously specific, and then there's outright creepy. DiaperMates is exactly what you think it is: a dating site for adults who enjoy wearing diapers. It's not for people who need to wear diapers, mind you - just for those that enjoy wearing them. Sadly enough, DiaperMates knocked a lot of other sites off this list, and it's still one of the more tame sites listed here...
Death typically isn't much of an icebreaker, but if the both of you work in the industry, who's to say it wouldn't work? Dead Meet is for those who work in the death industry, be it in funeral homes or morgues. It's understandable to want to meet someone who has a job that's similar to your own, but is talking about corpses and cremation really going to ignite that relationship's spark?
There's always a line to cross, and whoever thought setting up a site so that zombie enthusiasts could meet crossed that line a long time ago. Dead Meet at least had good intentions, but the idea of entering into a relationship with someone who thinks they are or wants to be a zombie is all sorts of wrong. That's right: Zombie Passions isn't for people who just like zombies, but want to be one - and that's what makes it horrifying.
"Everyone loves a clown...let a clown love you." Thank you, internet. You have created the single most horrifying thing in the entirety of the dating universe. Bravo.
There you have it: the weirdest, saddest, strangest dating sites on the web. That being said, if you're thinking of signing up for any of these sites (or already have) good luck: finding someone isn't easy, and if one of these sites is what finds you true love, then congratulations.
