While I know there is a need for niche dating, I’m thinking this one has gone just a wee bit too far…but hey, whatever floats your boat!

Gun Lovers Passions is taking aim at the niche online dating and social networking market, by providing a unique community where members can make new friends and even find romance…while discussing their favorite firearms. As part of the Passions Network network of niche community sites, Gun Lovers Passions welcomes gun owners, hunters, 2nd Amendment advocates, and anyone else that appreciates guns.
Providing all the features of mainstream online dating & social networking sites, including photo personals, email, chat, instant messaging, forums, blogs and videos, Gun Lovers Passions is unique in it’s singular focus on the Pro Gun Rights community. Members can take advantage of the ‘Gun Groups‘ to find other members who enjoy hunting, target practice or skeet shooting. Gun owners can also find other members based on their preferred type of firearm, whether that be a pistol, a rifle, a shotgun or a paintball gun, among others. Not only do the gun groups provide a way for members to easily find others who share their passion for specific types of guns, but they can also narrow their focus to specific areas of interest within hunting, for example deer hunting, duck hunting or even big game hunting.
Independent of the online hunting and gun groups, Gun Lovers Passions provides a Gun Video Directory, where members are encouraged to upload videos related to gun issues, including gun safety, gun shows, gun mishaps, target practice and gun rights (both Pro Gun Rights and Anti-Gun Rights).
The idea behind Gun Lovers Passions is to provide a welcoming and judgement-free environment where members can relax and feel comfortable surrounded by their peers…where the discussion of gun related topics is the norm. Gun issues can be difficult issues to bridge when two people are on opposite sides, and by providing a community where everyone is on the same side, Gun Lovers Passions hopes to make it easier for members to make new friends and maybe even find a little romance. Presumably, it is a little easier to break the ice when two people share something in common, whether that be an appreciation for a specific type of handgun, or the shared commitment to the support of the 2nd Amendment and Pro Gun Rights.

Free Dating for Gun Lovers

On a traditional dating site like eHarmony, such an event would be championed as a testament to the community’s romantic strength. Yet, at Online Booty Call (OBC), it has quite the opposite effect.

Members of OBC actually enjoy being single and believe the adventure of dating doesn’t have to be based on the pretense of long-term commitment. So the idea of the CEO attending to the domestics of married life will have a chilling impact on this community of Next Gen daters.

It’s difficult to fathom the man who created the “patented” Booty Call Commandments (second commandment “Thou shouldest never ask: can we see each other from now on?”)

Regardless, it would seem Mo is happy and that’s what we here at Dating Dames like to see and hear!  We wish them the best of luck and hope Online Booty Call keeps providing it’s customers with what they need with a bit of magic love tossed in from time to time.

Notorious Playboy Finds Love and Marries

ScientificMatch.com uses the DNA process of finding love.

I’m not sure I would feel comfortable sending my personal DNA off to a lab someplace (if it’s even a lab) where I would have little control over how it’s used beyond the intended purpose.

While I think there’s a lot to be said for the chemical makeup of people, the brain and it’s influence on your actions within a romantic relationship and all that mumbo jumbo, I’d like to leave a little something to the imagination and think that it’s just my own personal charm that’s attractive to my potential partner.

In all fairness, I’m sure there are people out there who would buy into this method of finding love – and if they do, more power to them.

I’ve got just enough control freak in me that I want to keep my DNA as close to my person as I possibly can.

What would you give for love?

The internet has proved a godsend for singles looking to hook up but it can’t always cater for those with specific needs.

Now unmarried Catholics looking for love can take their chances on a special dating website that has even got the blessing of the church.

Even the faithful get lonely. But now a special website called Catholic Matchmaker aims to bring together the devout.

“I think Catholics have a culture the faith and the religion whether they go to church or not that they want to find another Catholic,” says Glen Omvig, site developer.

“We needed to share that particular part of our lives because I needed to bring my children up Catholic,” says Clare Omvig, who also developed the site.

Glen and Clare met via an international Catholic matchmaking site eight years ago. And since then their life has been on the up, with children Benedict, Katie and Tim filling their home. So now they are starting their own site in New Zealand.

The Catholic faith prohibits sex before marriage and the site is not your typical internet dating site.

“We are inviting mentor couples to come across and join our site so they are there. Sometimes it’s easier to talk somebody else’s parents than it is to talk to your own,” says Clare.

The site has the blessing of the Catholic Church. It will also receive its traditional tithe, 10% of all profits.

The site will be officially launched on the feast of St Rafael, patron saint of singles and happy meetings, and will cost just under $15 a month to join.

Dating website for Catholics

ShoppingLifestyle Personals is truly a global community! You can be anywhere on earth and still communicate with people from all over the world. You can communicate with our members in whatever language you want, and even brush up on your foreign language skills. If online communication is just not enough for you, how about becoming friendly with some of the locals before arriving in your ultimate travel destination?

In three relatively easy steps, you’ll be on your way to meeting Mr. or Miss Right!

ShoppingLifestyle Personals is like your normal social networking site (Friendster, Facebook) but it has the same features as Hobnobster. Yea, it has that mobile messaging installed wherein you can message a potential date. It also has the typical email alerts of potential matches but like any other dating site, you have to spend a lot of time “managing” and “propagating” your account.

Anyway, I don’t see any real harm to trying this sort of thing. Esp when you’ve exhausted the other dating sites. LOL. It is FREE to REGISTER. It’s good to note that bit. I’m quite certain that the messaging part has charges. Hehe.

Have any of you signed up for it? How is it so far? Any insight that may help others who may be interested? Do share!

As you look around the internet, you can find a niche dating site for just about any possible topic at all. Niche dating has it’s rewards and although John Ramsey and Beth Twitty may not have met on a niche dating site for parents of missing or slain children, they did meet at a fundraiser that brought people together for a common cause.

Much like some niche dating sites do.

I think it’s great that two of only a handful of people in the world, who know the sort of loss and emptiness they do have found a deep friendship in each other that could possibly lead to a comforting, supportive relationship, that only the two of them may ever know.

Whether you’re a wine lover of a lush, here’s a dating opp just for you…

A French wine range has been launched that promises to bring together single wine lovers through a parallel online dating site.

The concept, known as Soif du Coeur (Thirsty Heart), involves buying a €3 bottle of wine contains a code printed on the back label – revealed once the bottle has been emptied. Prospective daters then enter their code and details on the Soif du Coeur website, which matches them up with a potential partner and fellow wine lover.

The project was launched by two Bordeaux-based wine wholesalers, Omnivins and Chateau en Bordeaux to promote a new Vins de Pays de l’Atlantique range.

350,000 bottles of Soif du Coeur wine have been sold to participating supermarkets (pink for girls, blue for boys) since its soft launch on 21 March. The website will be officially launched at Vinexpo 2007 in June.

Seriously though, is being a lover a wine so UP THERE that you would consider it a dating niche?

New wine range to be used as dating tool

I have a theory on why this is…Though I could be wrong, I was once eyeball deep in one of those niche sites and truly believe it has to do more with the fact that women are more self conscious.

Women tend to recognize their ‘faults’ more and will purposely seek out those with similar ‘faults’ in order to find support and establish a comfort zone of sorts.

Just to play with an example here — I’ve got a close friend that many tease and call “the cat lady” because she has several pet cats. And since ‘man’s best friend’ is typically the dog, many people naturally assume that most men are not cat people. So it makes more sense that my friend explore a niche dating site to seek out only those men who are cat people too. Right?

Niche dating sites are a great way to avoid having uncomfortable talks, sticky situations and to even spare hurt feelings. Many women [and men] who are self conscious about their weight may flock to the BBW dating sites, those with sexually transmitted infections can flock to dating sites that allow them to avoid having to disclose very personal information and those with certain living situations can find those who are more compatible. It just makes sense to cut to the chase and get down to business with only the pool of likely prospects.

Why Women Flock to Niche Dating Sites

New Jersey is the first I’ve heard taking progressive steps toward creating laws that would make online dating extremely difficult for registered sex offenders.

Under the proposed legislation:

1. Convicted sex offenders who are caught using the Internet will be fined up to $18,000 and sent to jail for a maximum of 18 months;
2. Those convicted of sex crimes who are caught soliciting a minor for sex on the Internet will face a mandatory five-year jail sentance; and
3. Web dating sites available to New Jersey residents would be required to state if they perform background checks on their members.

Personally, I find it reassuring that someone is making an effort to make online dating more safe.

What I don’t understand though is, with websites like Prison Pen Pals and Meet an Inmate, wouldn’t it seem some of these criminals would be more comfortable within their own elements?

My question to online singes is – do you think strict laws should be in place to help protect online daters from convicted criminals?

Sex Offenders and Web Dating

I have to admit, having been involved in the online dating scene for a number of years, I’m not overly surprised more women are placing ads on niche dating sites.

It’s my own personal belief that women are more “conscious” about what makes them just different enough to not feel comfortable being blended into a mass populations of the more popular general dating sites.

Whether it’s being more seasoned, larger or sound in your religious beliefs, I believe the niche dating sites are where more women are going to feel more comfortable.

Why worry about fishing in the ocean when you can find more of what you’re looking for closer to home and in a much smaller pond?

Do you prefer the niche dating sites over the larger more populated ones?  Or are you more likely to utilize both – which isn’t such a bad idea when you think about it.
