gk2gk Daters REALLY Don’t Look At The Pictures
If you hate the fact that most online daters and dating sites rely heavily on pictures to make their first decisions on who to contact, you might like a site like http://www.gk2gk.com/. I found out about Geek 2 Geek from a “Dear Ellie” column in the Chicago Sun Times A guy wrote to Ellie about his lack of experience with women at age 34 because of his geeky appearance. He’s now met a woman through Geek 2 Geek, a dating site that does not have photos at all. Here’s what Geek 2 Geek says about their site:
Geek 2 Geek - find your geek match on this site. Whether you’re looking for romance or just friendship, this is the place to hook up. There is no appearance information on profiles (no pictures either), true geeks just don’t care about looks. Besides, our experience tells us that most people lie about their looks on other sites. Looks are not how our members form relationships.
There’s a GREAT Top 10 Reasons why geeks make the best match. Looks to me like they make some terrific points.
Like most niche sites, Geek 2 Geek seems to have a very small membership base. I did searches for men looking for women and women looking for men, ages 40-60, within 500 miles of my zip code. Only one woman showed up ... But here’s the good news: 12 guys made the cut. Now the first one was a married lawyer, so that’s not so cool, but, hey. And all those 12 fellas would love to see more women sign up—and no photos!!!
Geeky or not, after you read the Top Ten Reasons for picking a geek, you might want to consider one!

Nice post Kathryn,
These niche sites are indeed poping up all over the internet. You can find one for any minority imaginable, I even came across one that caters purely for biker dating!
The Geek Dating sites are my favourite though because i’m a bit of a geek at heart myself :-)
