The information superhighway is littered with site after endless site devoted to every imaginable dating and hook-up possiblity. From those irksome spams which try to lure computer users to “entertain horny virgins” to pop-up windows that show attractive people just dying to meet you and start a dating life, the web is a tease for those looking to meet Mr or Ms Right (or at least, Mr or Ms Right Now). If you want to meet a hot amputee, there’s a site for you; if your taste runs more toward goths, then there’s a dark dungeon site beckoning your visit.
Friendsurfer.com
What do you get if you combine Friendster and Hot or Not? You get this quixotic amalgamation of the two. Utilizing a format similar to both of the previously mentioned sites, Friendsurfer is a free site that allows users to access a “personal friends matrix, look at profiles, send private messages, and make new friends.” Hmm… sounds familiar. In addition, you can join discussion groups and create an online journal, which will then be accessible to everyone on your personal network. Friendsurfer is a blatant rip-off of two popular sites and just seems too cumbersome to be enjoyable.
OnlyUndiesClub.com
Despite its rather tawdry name, OnlyUndiesClub.com specifically states that there “is absolutely no nudity on the site,” which is a shame ‘cause the thought of naked indie rockers really makes our underwear wet. Still, it’s a breath of fresh air from the multitude of hook-up sites that cater to mainstream images of cuteness. The boys are pierced and tattooed and the girls rock fishnets and the punk rock look. Fun.
Meetup.com
Meetup.com got a great deal of publicity recently when many Dean supporters utilized the site to activate supporters to meet at rallies. For people interested in socializing with others with similar passions, Meetup.com is a great way to get started. The user-friendly site allows people to pick their choice of likes and sign up to be notified of the group’s meetings in their hometown. Everything from pug lovers to witches is represented on this site, which was launched in June 2002. Now, over a million have used the site to hook up.
BadonkaDate.com
We don’t know whether to laugh or be turned on but BadonkaDate.com is a website “specializing in women with bigass badonkadonk butt—that’s big juicy booties for you simple folk.” Women blessed with lots of junk in the trunk post their photos and men who admire them can respond. Where else can you read postings from a woman who says, “I love to work out… and eat at Taco Bell!” So, if you have the hankering for some big booty, then this is definitely the site for your next big bootie call. Underground-Web.com
If you’re tired of listening to your Sisters of Mercy CDs alone, then there is bound to be a bewitching man or woman just dying to meet you on this website. Chock-full of eyelined vixens of both genders, the website offers the lonely goth a forum to find new friends or lovers. You get to rate their photos, view their profiles and chat about all things dark.
Apologys.co.uk
Prank or social commentary? The recent spat of “flashmob”-type events are accumulating at a rapid rate. In London, the act has become less of a hook-up place —although we’ve heard that some people do these acts in hopes of getting some ass— and more of a public performance art event. The folks at apologys.co.uk are gathering kids at a particular destination (usually a train station), having them wear their own personal stereo/radio and dance to a tune for as long as they like. The catch is that the participants are to dance alone and not to mingle with the others. So very British.
