BDSM and alternative lifestyle personals. Explore your fantasies at alt.com, a supportive alternative lifestyle community. Millions of profiles with sexy photos.
This is a site devoted to larger women and men, and those who adore them. Sorry, GLBTs and polys, this site only offers two gender choices, does heterosexual matches only, and no married people are allowed.
BBW stands for "Big Beautiful Woman," and is a new-ish term for women who are zaftig, voluptuous, curvaceous, chubby, plentiful, or even (for those who are reclaiming the term) "fat." I, at a size 16, qualify as a BBW myself, though most of the ladies I viewed here had at least 50 lbs. on me.
This is a dating site for polyamorous people. Polyamory, a word taken from the Greek for "many" and Latin for "love," is ethical non-monogamy. (Go to Polyamory.org for more information, or read The Ethical Slut)
There aren't a whole heck of a lot of poly people out there, so this site is small. But if you live in a fairly liberal area of the country, it might be a big help in finding people of like mind, as opposed to swingers or folks who are cheating on a s ... Full Review
"I would definitely recomend this site to other people." --L.D.T., 21, GA
This site has the same layout as BBW Personals Plus, Canadian Personals, and Catholic Mingle. The most striking difference right now is that College Personals Online is FREE FREE FREE. They'll be switching to a subscription system soon, but for now, you can either use all the features for nothing, or pay $40 for a lifetime membership. Good deal.
Now, here's the catch: The reason the site is free is because it's so new, and there are only about 500 members.
Non-paying members can create a profile with ... Full Review
Senior FriendFinder is another site in the humongous FriendFinder network. If you've joined any others of their sites before, you'll feel right at home. The setup is exactly the same.
Here, standard (non-paying) members can do very little, not even view profiles. But they can chat, and it appears to me that the chatrooms are the center of life here. Annoyingly, there’s no way to “whisper” in chat. You can use FriendFinder's instant messenger program, but you have to download it, and then get it working ( ... Full Review
This is a dating and socializing website for single parents.
Free members can post a profile, browse other profiles, view photo galleries, read message boards, send and receive “smilies” and e-cards. Premium members can post on message boards, chat, use the IM, and send and receive email.
Sorry, transgendered parents (and yes, I know two), there are only male and female options for your gender. Auto renew is automatically on, but it’s easy to change it to “off.”

Military Date is a dating site for military men and women and the civilians who love them. This site is as drab and joyless as basic training barracks, but it may well get the job done.
Free members can create a profile with photo, but can't initiate contact. Still, at $10 per month, and no savings for a multiple-month purchase, it's cheap to join, and you can pay as you go. The profile questions are pretty boring, with nothing about interests, job description, or religion. You can state your branch (in ... Full Review
Executive Dating is a website for "professionals," headquartered in the U.K.
So far, I have to say I've found it very disappointing.
If you could select only four pieces of information to be displayed by your photo in a search listing, how about age, sex, location, and... astrological sign? Oh, give me a break. This isn't a website for New Agers; it's a website for professionals. Do many professionals put a lot of faith in astrology? What a waste! Since I imagine "professionals" means "people with mo ...

Antopia is a dating site for people with genital herpes (HSV1 and 2) and human papilloma virus (HPV, the virus that causes genital warts). FYI, about 20 percent of Americans have genital herpes (usually type 2) and about 75 percent of Americans of reproductive age have HPV.
At first glance, I thought this site seemed like a more modern version of a leper colony, and seemed to be marginalizing people. But after spending more time hanging around here, I've discovered that really it's just a regular dating ... Full Review
"While hippies talk free love, love-ins, and the liberating power of sexuality, we goths don't fall for that rubbish. We understand that alienation and being alone is our natural state. Sex is not about liberation, it is medication. It is the quest for dull the pain that is life's bitter angst.
"This site is not to find meaningful relationships. As there are no meaningful relationships. Relationships are an illusion! In the end they only cause you more drama and pain. This site is about lustful but mean ... Full Review
Pearz calls itself "a unique, whole-person approach to meeting people!"
It's free to join, and list your full set of profiles and photos. In order to contact others, you must purchase a premium membership. The cost is much less than at other dating sites, just $9/mo. to $36/yr, which may be because their membership is on the small side.
They say, "Most of our members stay involved over a number of months, the same as they would in most social clubs, dance, or recreation classes where people often mee ... Full Review
Large and Lovely Connections is a dating site for BBWs (big beautiful women), BHMs (big handsome men), and their admirers.
Setting up a profile here is very quick and easy. There are a few multiple-choice questions (I note, no Pagan option for religion, and age and height are ranges) and the usual two essays “about you” and “what you’re looking for.” Free members can upload up to five photos, reply to messages sent, search and view others’ profiles, send icebreakers, read and post to message boards on BB ...
