From millionaires to otakus looking for love: the most “weird” and exclusive dating apps you can find

If there’s one thing that the multiple Oscar-winning film ‘Lala Land’ taught us, it’s that there’s only one thing that everyone looks for at least once in their life: love.

Neither fame nor money can be compared to the need to be able to find a partner at some point in our existence. And why start with this movie? Because it is one of the many that, under this premise, teach us that loving can be so difficult that it often hurts or simply does not work.

But this does not mean that there are no new or better opportunities and to find them, the Internet can be a good ally. Dating applications are precisely a good option to try to find love and that is why they have more and more users.

According to the company Statista, in 2020 there were already more than 270 million users registered in different dating apps, worldwide. But if you still haven’t felt comfortable with some of the most popular platforms, we bring you some unusual options:

Millionaire Dating App (ME)

Yes, getting a millionaire couple can be a match away. The dating app and website is exclusively for singles looking for a financially successful partner.

According to the company, its elite clientele includes CEOs, entrepreneurs, professional athletes, supermodels, lawyers, investors, celebrities, and influencers. It has been in operation since 2001 and has more than 5 million users around the world.

But be careful: this is not a site to find a ‘sugar mommy’, ‘sugar daddy’ or ‘sugar baby’, as it is prohibited in their terms and conditions. The idea is to find your soul mate and not someone just out of interest. In this case, the user can report the profile and it will be suspended.

Clown Dating

This is not a site suitable for people with coulrophobia. For some, when thinking of clowns, the face of the terrifying and famous character created by Stephen King, Pennywise, automatically appears somewhere in his brain. However, for others it may be the opposite.

“Everyone loves a clown”says the page, “let a clown love you”. The site that at first may seem like a joke, in the end it turns out to be 100 percent serious. On their website they not only offer to find your ‘ideal clown partner’, they also help you with recommendations and see who has viewed your profile.

Freakit!

This dating app is exclusively designed for otakus. That’s right, for those who love the world of anime and manga. This app, created by two young Spanish women, seems to have a promising future. With more than seven thousand followers on Instagram and 30 thousand on TikTok.

One of the things that has attracted the most attention is its dynamics to find friends or a partner. Initially, when registering you will have to take a personality test that will link you to an anime character. This will be shown to other users when they start looking for interesting profiles.

If the taste is mutual, the application will display the phrase ‘It’s a UwU’ (It’s a UwU), which will be a signal for the two users to start a conversation.

At the moment, the application is undergoing maintenance due to the number of users who have registered, which has generated many failures. However, the creators assured that they are trying to fix the problems as soon as possible, so that they can have it back in the Play Store and soon in the Apple store.

sizzle

They say you can get to a person’s heart through the stomach and probably never taken it so seriously before. ‘Sizzl’ is an application available on the Apple and Google store, which allows you to find people with exceptional taste in bacon.

That’s right, because of the bacon. Those strips of pork, which are usually served with fried eggs as an almost typical dish in the United States. The application was launched by the delicatessen company Oscar Mayer in 2015, seeking not only to be part of a strategy to promote the consumption of meat products, but also to really unite those who love pork.

In the profiles there are descriptions of how that person likes pork, their favorite preparations, if they prefer to share it or not. Those facts will be crucial to match and to establish an online conversation.

wingman

This is the app that helps you be the cupid of your friends. The dynamic is simple, but it can be a bit dangerous if it doesn’t fall into good hands.

The first thing is to download the application on Android or iOS. Afterwards, you should leave everything in the hands of someone other than the person on the profile.

Basically, a friend of the person in question is the one who can create the profile, put a photo, their likes and a brief description. Then, just like Tinder, it can begin to rule out or accept people who seem right for ‘the friend who’s always single’.

According to Tina Wilson, the founder of the app, this idea stems from the ‘nudge’ that people often need when approaching someone. “With real endorsement from those who know you best, we display an authenticity that is all too rare in online dating”he commented for the web portal ‘Mashable’.
