Read our full review of Match.
Who is it suitable for:
Match may not be the first place you think of when it comes to geek dating, but don’t give it away just yet. Its diverse user base means you’ll find all kinds of people here, including plenty of nerds and geeks. According to the Match website, 19% of users are between 18 and 29 years old, 44% are between 30 and 40 years old, and 37% are 50 or older.
If you’re willing to invest a little time and money (yes, Match is a paid site), it can open up a world of possibilities for your love life. After all, your perfect match might not be on a niche dating site, but hidden on the biggest dating platform.
Why we chose this:
The game may not be free, but sometimes the best things in life (like finding your second player) require a little investment. Trust us, this app is worth it. The platform is user-friendly with a clean interface and features a lengthy matching questionnaire to help optimize your dating profile and narrow down your matches as efficiently as possible.
But what really makes Match stand out among geeks is the level of personalization you can bring to your profile. With a massive library of interest tags, you can use the massive library to inspire your love for games, horror marathons, or the latest VR technology. Let everyone know you’re a Comic-Con regular, a trivia champ, or someone who values ”intellectual stimulation” (who doesn’t?).
Plus, Match gives you the opportunity to actually answer prompts about your favorite games, books, movies, and more with essay-style answers. The paid feature also helps filter out people who aren’t serious about looking for a real connection, and the requirement of at least one clear photo (you can add up to 26) shows that everyone on the platform is willing to put in the effort.
