Online Dating: Its a Niche World

What is Niche Dating?

Niche dating is the use of online dating sites targeted to a specific demographic or interest group. This method is a way of pre-screening potential matches for shared interests and passions. Examples of niches sites would be horseloversconnection.com for people with equestrian interests, Jdate.com for Jewish singles, ashleymadison.com for married people looking to have affairs, vegiedate.org for vegetarian dating. As many interests as there are, a niche site is likely to exist for them.

Why Niche Dating Works:

Large generic dating sites often put numbers over quality. There are a great number of people on the "popular" dating sites, but how many of them will actually interest you or have shared interests with you. While many of these sites do offer interest tags, these can be used for all sorts of trivial interests, not only true passions. Many false positives will need to be searched through to find a truly compatible person that shares your lifestyle or serious interests. The greatest benefit is that you know, thanks to niche dating websites, that your prospective partner already has an important quality or subject in common with you.

In fact, many users who use niche dating websites find that they are quickly attracted to and compatible with other members who share their activities, lifestyle or cultural backgrounds. Once that major connection has been established, the main issue at hand will be location. With an attractive prospect identified, with a shared love of (insert niche here), located within your geographic sphere, the biggest question then is, should you date the one who lives two miles away or fifty miles away? Utilizing the varied communications methods available on many of the niche dating sites, that choice should become easier. Niche sites often have a greater variety of contact methods than the larger, generic sites, like chats, emails, video, forums, etc.

Whether it is a result of the shared interests, true passion for the topics and activities, or the variety of forums for communicating, niche members tend to be far more responsive and attentive than ordinary online dating site users. On a niche site, it is clear that the people are looking for a persona, or a type that is based on interests, character, cultural factors, etc. On a generic matchmaking site, this is not always so; most connections are based on physical attraction alone to begin with. This is not to say that all connections remain strictly physical, after communication, simply that the initial basis of that connection tends to be more superficial than those made on a niche singles site.

Keep these things in mind as you choose an online dating service. Niche dating websites offer faster connections and a greater chance of a successful connection, whether it be for romance, friendship or simply others to share your favorite activities with!
