10 ridiculously specific dating sites, apps

There are always new challenges to dating, especially in the digital age. An ever-expanding buffet of websites and dating apps promises to help you find Mr. or Ms. Right, while others simply encourage users to find Mr. or Mrs. Right Now (we’re talking about you, Tinder).

Looking for someone who enjoys the “simpler” things in life, maybe like small town living? Farmers Only promises to weed out the “city folk” who “just don’t get it.” Is religious affiliation one of your top “non-negotiables” when it comes to finding a partner? Turn to websites like Christian Mingle and Jdate (for Jewish singles) to emphasize just how important a role religion plays when it comes to building that connection.

Regardless of your urgency toward coupling (or lack thereof), there seems to be a dating app tailor-made for even the most specific singles. When the questionnaires and filtering features on mega-sites such as Match, E-Harmony or even OKCupid just aren’t doing the trick, narrowing your search (sometimes down to the most ridiculous specifics) might be the way to go.

From those looking to find a partner who hates the same things they do to those who wish to meet their soul mate through a shared affection for conspiracy theories and marijuana, here are some of the most niche dating websites and apps available for the most precise daters.
