Oh my!
That was my reaction when I got pointed to this site that bills itself as an online single dating site for nerds.
And when I actually dropped in to see what such a site would be like? I had a similar reaction.
Oh dear!
I guess the best comparison I can come up with is that box we used to have in the laundry room in my college dorm. You now, the one where folks tossed all those mis-matched and odd socks that came out of the dryer, in the hopes that someone would be able to make a match with a mate.
And I can only hope that the box serves such a purpose. There are some really ... unusual folks hanging out there. Some seem sort of interesting, a few seem amusingly different, others just look weird. But the nice thing about it is that it is a site that doesn't take itself too seriously, and doesn't play the meat market or soulmate game. Rather, it seems to be just a chance for folks to get together and meet -- and if something comes of it, so much the better. And as a free site, the pressure to find "the one" before the next billing cycle is not there.
So if you are that sock with a missing mate, into the box with you. After all, Its Just Coffee!
