(Online Dating Industry Journal) An article in The Washington Times today covered how online dating niche sites can help singles with unique qualities or interests find compatible matches. The article introduced recent divorcee Tracy Sacks who started a dating site for disabled individuals - Special Singles Online - after she was thrown back into the dating world and couldn't find an online dating site that met her needs.
The article revealed that Sacks was just one of an increasing number of niche dating site owners. According to the article:
"Though lacking the resources of the bigger players, smaller online dating sites are niching themselves in the hopes of swallowing up a specialized market. Smoking, sexually transmitted diseases and Ivy League educations are just a few of the characteristics daters might have in common.
'You could think of any concept or any group and there's going to be some kind of niche online dating service for it,' said Joe Tracy, editor and publisher of the Online Dating Magazine. 'Everyone wants a piece of the pie.'"
