ANSWERS

The dating sites in 4, 5, 8, 12, 13 and 17 are made up. The rest exist. This is all the proof you need that it doesn’t matter how niche or novel your interests are. There isn’t just one person out there for you; there are enough to power a whole separate internet server. In fact, the only people you might struggle to meet are the ones with severe technophobia. And chances are that onlinedatingforpeoplewhorunscreamingfromtheinternet.com will be up and running within a year or two. As for the rest, if there isn’t a dedicated Kardashian dating site soon, those ladies are not as committed to capitalism as I previously believed.
