Online dating just got specialized. Like, really specialized.

If you’ve even dipped your pinky toe into online dating, chances are you’ve heard of all the major players like Tinder, Match, eHarmony, Bumble, and OkCupid. But then, what about people who have slightly more…niche tastes? What happens if you only want to date farmers who don’t eat gluten? Or people who have the same taste in music as you?

Specialized dating sites have existed for a while – focused on things such as black women looking for white men or vice versa or dating by religious preference. The more popular online dating becomes, the more specific you can be. Here are examples:

SingldOut

This will match you with a potential partner using your DNA. Yes, really. They mail you a DNA test kit, and then match you with someone based on the results, by matching your ‘chemistry.’ Not a whole lot else to say on this one, other than the obvious – it’s kind of creepy.

Gluten-Free Singles

Kind of self-explanatory. Other apps ask about dietary requirements or preference (got to know what you can make someone for dinner), but this app is here to let you get matched with someone equally as allergic to gluten as you are. You’ll never fall afoul of accidental pasta dishes again!

Trek Dating

If you’re a huge trekkie and are worried potential online suitors don’t feel the same, check out Trek Dating and get paired up with a fellow fan, so that you can geek out together.

Sizzl

This is for people who love bacon. Yes, that’s right. There’s a whole app where bacon lovers can hook up over their pork preference. The sign-up questionnaire even asks you whether you prefer crispy or smoked, turkey or pork. Be honest. Your love match will know if you’re telling porkies.

Uniform Dating

An oldie but a goodie, Uniform Dating is based on the adage “Oh, I love a man or woman in uniform.” If that’s something you’re into, this is the site for you. It’s also great for people who, like many in uniformed professions, don’t work 9 – 5.

Dead Meet

Clever wordplay aside (dead meat! Get it?), this is one that on first glance seems very strange indeed, but actually makes a lot of sense. Dead Meet is for people who work in the death industry – morticians, forensic scientists, etc. (bear with us). As it’s probably difficult or awkward for people with these jobs to list them on a dating profile, Dead Meet was invented, so people with these jobs could just…meet each other instead.

Mouse Mingle

This is a dating site for Disney fans. It’s their personal opinion about people who are such huge Disney fans up to adulthood that they only want to date other Disney fans. Here, at least, you know you’ll always have someone to go on rides at Disney World. A fairy tale come true!

Taller Singles

Self-explanatory. This is for people over 6′ only.

Shorter Singles

See above, but for people on the shorter side.
