Machine domsdating

Maybe it's just me, but there's nothing I like more than a niche dating site, especially one that meets a mysterious chip from singles.

In the past, I've written about green dating sites like GreenSingles.com, which serves the crowd-friendly environment, and DarwinDating.com, devoted exclusively to the most beautiful people in the world. (Just checked the link to this one, and it no longer works — much to their motto "only the hottest survive.")

We've covered dating sites designed for older singles, dating sites for single parents dating site built just for boklovers and men.

Thanks to a recent CNN.com story, though, I may have stumbled upon the strangest place so far: the struggling singles sites. Check it out.

For people who spend every day in disaster preparedness – whether it is the end of the world 2012, economic collapse, collapse, hurricane or tsunami – it can be hard to find a compatible partner.

Canning venison, shooting firearms, living off the grid and create compost from human waste just isn't traditional interests many people look for when browsing from mainstream dating sites such as Match.com or aharmoni.

That's why the site is called "survivalist singles" has entered the dating scene online, specifically catering to this niche community of bribers, "activists" and "domsdayirs."

As it turns out, SurvivalistSingles.com (which has a cheery slogan "not face the future alone") is not the only site to those waiting with breath bitd (not to mention bunkers packed spam) to the end of the world as we know it. It also meets the requirements of PrepperDating.com and Kwink.com to "doomsday bribers" and "domsdayirs."

According to the CNN story, the average age in SurvivalistSingles.com more than 50 and men outnumber women two to one (shocking, I know).  Although the site is currently free, a woman who runs a thinking $ 5 membership fee per month in the coming days (there should be any number of days ahead).

So she has chosen the slogan: "finding love for less than the price of a box of bullets". (You have to admit it is catchy. I mean, how often do you find words of love and a bullet in the same sentence? outside the local crime headlines, that is.)

Now I know that things can get a little scary out there sometimes, especially in an election year. Not to mention the years where is survival-dystopian Festival such as "hunger games" biggest box office draw since, I don't know, "Apocalypse Now."

But no matter how bad things are (or how to get to the looming deadline of the Mayan calendar), I know I'm not ready to go to the hills with machine gun-toting domsdating, slaughtered deer, eating bean. In fact, as far as I am concerned, that would be the end of the world.

What say you? What is the strangest place you site – find a mate? We would love to hear your thoughts, folks. As you know, while there is still time. ; )
