Dating sites on the internet are proliferating at a rate
that must surely indicate something or other. And, most interestingly, they’re becoming
thematic.
At first there was just the odd, generally-western site like
Zoosk, which appeared to cover a range of ethnic types as befits modern,
western culture. But now they’re becoming increasingly specialist. We’ve had
Thai dating sites, Chinese dating sites, Indian dating sites, Filipino dating
sites, and African dating sites. The latest to be added to the list are Russian
and Muslim dating sites.
(A Muslim dating site? There’s something, well, a tad strange
about that. Don’t Muslims pride themselves on being a bit above that sort of
thing? I would love to have a comment on this from a Muslim.)
So now I can’t wait to see what’s next. An Eskimo dating
site? Come to the frozen wastes and warm
your cockles in an igloo?
The mind might soon be tempted to boggle, but will, as ever,
take refuge in its standards.
