Now you would think, if there are professional sites, it would only be fair that they also have unprofessional sites. This could be for all the athletes who never made it up from the farm team. Or what about all the CEO's who get laid off or demoted. We don't want to leave them out. What about pimps, hookers, and thieves? Where do they belong? Lawyers, what should we do with them? Bad question. Never mind.

Other miscellaneous sites I came across were military, gay and lesbian sites, a site for blacks, big and beautiful women, a site for "swingers," college students, (like there's not enough horny coeds running around campus already. Heck, just check out all the "College Kids Gone Wild" videos), single parents, senior citizens, deaf sites, "newly" sober sites, and for those blessed by the stars, astrological sites.

Gee, seeing "astrological sites" brought back ancient history. Has the old pick-up line, "What's your sign?" really come back from the dead? That old conversation starter still comes up more often than I care to admit. I have seen where people do look for specific signs on their profiles, I certainly believe in astrology. I have always gotten along better with certain signs that were more compatible with me; namely, "Curves Ahead," "Danger, High Voltage!" and "Slippery When Wet."

I saved the best for last. I actually saw a site that was for "Positive Singles." Silly me, I thought it was a site for optimists looking to get together, you know, to see the wine glass half full. I couldn't have been more wrong. I was a tad bit shocked when I learned that this site is for people who tested "positive" for things. You know, the things that you don't mention to mom and dad. Yeah, venereal type things and HIV type thingies. Yup, that would be it.

If you run across any sites that make reference to anything concerning "pens," the "big house," state, county, or federally funded "free housing with three free square meals a day" programs, you may want to delete and move on.

I guess it cuts down on embarrassing conversations about diseases before considering having sex. I'll bet most of the people in this site are upfront and honest. I mean, who else would admit to having a disease if the other person didn't have it too, right? So I say, you go girls and boys! Let the good (and safe) times roll.

The sites I listed were more specialized to help you look for very specific qualities in a person. There are numerous sites that are very general that you can "mix and match" the different characteristics you want in your little "heartthrob." So as you can see, there are plenty of sites for everyone. (And I only listed a smidgen of them. Whatever a smidgen is.) There is a site just for you, so keep browsing. (Even though I haven't spotted a site for test tube babies and cloned humans, I'm sure one will be coming to your computer soon. It's probably in the works as I write.)

Another thing that is growing fast is what is referred to as "speed dating" or outings where there's a group of people who get together and literally play "musical chairs" in order to meet a bunch of people at one time. These are all fine, but I personally like to start out slow. Let's work on how to meet one person at a time, and then when we become "pros" at it, we can tackle an entire group!
