Online dating sites are popular, they stretch your possibilities as far as potential hook-ups or partners go, and they’ve got keen network type features which everyone loves for the mere fact that they help you found out about people. The problem is however that these sites begin to look like Myspace; so what about those who hate Myspace, what about the so called nerds and geeks who spend hours at the computer but can’t manage to use an online dating site? Well, now there’s SweetOnGeeks, a dating site ‘where grey matters’.
Instead of diet ads on site they have adverts for Mensa, their backdrop consists of a random grouping of ones and zeros. This site is cheeky, personal and intelligent. You gotta love the graphics and their Mom and Pop approach to dealing with their users. Besides customizable profiles and messaging, the site’s got geek news, Sudoku, games, geek links, and geek videos. The first two weeks are free, afterwards it will cost a mere $5 bucks a month.
