Dating websites are a plague and a cancer. Unfortunately, gamers like to hook up the same as anyone else, so websites exist to cater to our little hobby. Or do they? An investigation into dating sites for gamers reveals that there’s precious little gaming going on beyond the part where they get your email address. Or maybe that was the game? Check out this article that runs through several websites that claim to be there for gamers the same way your bank claims it’s there for you. Kotaku has the story.
The best way to hook up is to be a solid raid partner in an MMO, or a good Medic in Team Fortress 2. Girls love the Heavy, and nothing says “I care” like a skillful healing gun.
Look, get in a game, be social, be friendly, and do stuff. Be the go-to person who brings the fun. That’ll fill up your dance card quicker than any dating website ever could.
