Yes, we all know about the big online dating sites with millions of singles from which to choose.  That can be overwhelming.  Many of my clients have been successful utilizing smaller, niche online dating sites that focus on some common interest, religion, race, a particular characteristic or a common outlook on life.  There are over a thousand niche dating sites out there.  So how do you choose?

What’s important to you?  Start there.  If sports are important, then picking a site where there are athletic people may be a good place to start.  If you are into a particular faith and this guides your life, then look at top online dating sites that attract people of your faith.   Look at who is on the site- do they seem like your type of people?  Or perhaps it’s a mindset or attitude that you are looking for.  Once such site is http://www.brainiacdating.com.  This is for people who consider themselves smart and intelligent and want to meet others who consider themselves so, as well.

Sometimes the smaller sites are the way to go.  This site has been growing from mostly metropolitan areas like DC and New York, where the owner, Lawrence Chernin has found some innovative ways to market his online dating site including setting up Meetup groups.  The New York Meetup group is quite large.  Lawrence started the Smart Singles Meetup group in DC and passed it onto another organizer when he left the DC area.  However, many of matches have been made that were between these two cities.  So I encourage you to be open and consider dating someone out of your area.  I know of many DC- NY marriages!

Given the cost, this online dating site is very reasonable.  You can join for free.  However, for a yearly membership of $20, you can send emails.

You can read about the testimonials on his site at http://www.brainiacdating.com/testimonials.php.   So remember, it’s about quality, not always quantity.   So if you truly want to find your mental equal, then I suggest you look into http://www.brainiacdating.com!

Intentionally Yours,
Coach Amy
