HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MONTH

www.crazyblinddate.com

This site is for intrepid souls only! In a nutshell, you are not allowed to see any photos of your potential dates beforehand and the service will match you up according to where you live. There are three options to choose from: a solo date, a double date, or you don't care. The novelty steps in when you next have the option of going out on a date that very same night! Next, you select the area in your chosen city you wish to go to, then sit back and wait for an e-mail confirmation that the date is scheduled. Not for the faint of heart!

Yes, online dating has been reduced to the shallowest end of the mud puddle with this matchmaking service. The criterion to join is strict as they allow "beautiful people only." And that doesn't include inner beauty. They even include what they affectionately call the ?Chimp Calculator' to test your unattractiveness level! Their tagline? ?Online dating minus ugly people.' One can only imagine how much photoshopping has been done to these profiles!

datemypet.com

A site where users are asked to set up dating profiles for their pets. This site promises to hook up pet lovers with other pet lovers, and not lovers with their pets. The idea is not too bad - after all a dog on a leash can be a good ice breaker when trying to strike up a conversation with a hot girl at the park. But the site goes a bit overboard when its users are asked to set up dating profiles for their pets and then people are matched based not just on their own compatibility but also on that of their pets.

If you happen to suffer from tinyophobia (the fear of little people), you might want to check this site out. It specifically caters to like-minded singles who are of a specific height, meaning tall. Verbatim, their introduction is: "Welcome to the best, largest and most effective tall dating site in the world. This is the best place for looking for tall dating relationship or marriage. We bring together tall-dating minded singles from USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Europe and more. Here you could mingle with tall singles, tall beautiful women and tall handsome men."

Other than meeting the height criteria, the site is standard fare with chat, forums, and the like.
