Dating Sites For Nerds Geeks

They say there’s a kink for every freak. And when it comes to dating, the more specific you are in your search, the better results you will reap. That’s why if you subscribe to the community of nerds and geeks, you should focus your energy and efforts on like-minded singles who share your interests. While many of the popular dating apps and sites -- like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge and others -- will provide a vast pool of applicants, you will spend much of your time scouring through matches to find a person or two who has actually been to Comic-Con or who can discuss coding.

“In this day and age of Comic-Cons for nerds, and the new Star Wars movies coming out in a franchise that has lasted decades, nerds and geeks are out in full force and proud. They have learned to embrace their inner nerd self, as shown by Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, and we know from their example that nerds make great catches,” explains matchmaker Susan Trombetti. “Dating apps are for the tech savvy, nerdy 18-to-30 somethings. After all, nerds are at home with technology and this is one of the areas they do best.”

Instead of playing a sorting game, take a page out of the rule book of matchmakers and coaches, who recommend the very best apps available to your catered community:

Cuddli

You don’t have to think twice if folks on this dating app are into what you’re offering since this dating app is specifically catered to geeks and their friends. As one of the top rated in this category, signing up is a simple process, making dating possible in less than five minutes. What’s beneficial about the members here is you can skip the small talk and dive into your fandoms, removing the “get to know ya” barrier that normally comes with first interactions. “It’s simple to use, and like other mobile location-based dating apps such as Tinder or Bumble, you can swipe right or left on profiles and start chatting right away. What’s even more fun is you can connect at Comic-Con or a cosplay event with your date in just moments,” explains online dating expert Julie Spira.

But if you’re super proficient with computers, consider a note of warning: this app is still relatively new, making it full of mishaps. The Android version seems to receive stronger reviews than the iOS, and the member base is still growing.

Geek Nerd Dating

There’s nothing quite creative about the name -- it sure does get the message and purpose across, huh? -- but the interface and user experience on this site is what you’d expect from most find-love-now websites on the market. The difference, according to Spira, is how targeted Geek Nerd Dating allows you to be with your preferences. You can filter by interests -- Star Wars? Coding? You name it -- and also by location. It is also a win for the homosexual community, since this service also offers matches to same-sex couples. Keep in mind that you will have to invest your money in this site if you decide to explore further. Spira explains signing up is free, but if you want to send and receive messages, you will be required to upgrade to a premium membership.

Soul Geek

Spira says this website, whose tagline is the “Cyber home for geek dating,” is an easy, one-stop destination to meet the potential Lois Lane to your Clark Kent. (Or ya know, whatever way you swing!) When you first hang out on this site, you will be prompted to state whether you’re a “fan-gal” or a ‘fan-guy’ and then you will pet your sexuality preferences. But before you even get there, you will likely be instantly attracted by the design of this site, which features plenty of the beloved characters or nerds and their friends. Complete with blogs, forums, music and videos, this is more than a dating spot, but a way to meet friends and connect, too. In addition to chatting online, Soul Geek takes it step further by providing local listings of geek and nerd events to encourage you to get offline and meet people face-to-face.

Plenty of Geeks

You’ve likely heard of Plenty of Fish, a dating site that’s been around for decades. Its counterpart, Plenty of Geeks, will remind you of it but has a much more concentrated member group that fits your preferences. The sign-up process is much like you’d expect for any sort of dating site, allowing you to use your email address or your Facebook to join. From here, you will be met with countless eligibles in your area, where you can filter by age, sexual preference, interest and other variables. Spira says this community has been expanding for twenty years, so you know you’re bound to find at least a few matches that meet your criteria. As long as you can navigate around several ads, give it a go -- especially since it’s 100 percent free!

Trek Passions

When you categorize yourself as a geek or a nerd, what do you mean exactly? If you’re far more into science fiction than anything else, it’s worth exploring Trek Passions. Though the website needs a vast improvement, as a free database, you will be able to connect with fans who share your same obsession with various shows. Once you sign up, you will fill out a short questionnaire and then begin exploring. What’s a bit different about Trek Passions is the plethora of personal ads that focus on what television series and movies strike your fancy, all in search of someone else to binge watch with. Whether you’re into World of Warcraft or Star Trek, to find someone to indulge with, consider this a solid option.

OkCupid

As the least nerd-focused on our list, OkCupid might not seem like the greatest option, but Trombetti begs to differ. With both a desktop and app version, you can always be connected to a spectrum of singles, many of whom will be upfront about the topics they tend to geek out on. How come? Their burgeoning member base ups your odds, and countless photo options give you the chance to find those who are willing to go to the extreme for their obsessions, like you are. Spira suggests making sure your profile stands out and clearly states your intentions. “Add photos of you from a trekkie conference or Comic-Con, dress up in your favorite nerdy outfit, and put verbiage in your profile that says, ‘Calling all nerds,’ or ‘I tend to gravitate toward the nerdy side of life,’” she says.
