Niche dating sites grow

By The Associated Press - 11/08/2008

WASHINGTON — Let's say you're a man with a mullet. And what you really want is a lady who wants a man with a mullet.

What's a fellow to do?

Well, sign up for MulletPassions.com, of course. And watch the mullet sparks fly!

It seems like a joke. And maybe it is, sort of, but the site is legitimate and free.

MulletPassions is just the extreme end of the blossoming world of niche online dating sites. Unlike general sites such as Match.com that cast as wide a net as possible, these forums are self-selecting, based on preferences.

Hence: Golfmates.com, Deafsinglesconnection.com, SingleParentLove.com and BikerKiss.com.

MulletPassions, in fact, is just one of more than 100 niche sites run by Passions Network, an umbrella company with online social networks for yoga lovers, atheists, truckers and vegans.

The most popular of the lot? LargePassions.com, for full-figured daters and their admirers.
