The online dating websites you choose to post a profile on will say a lot about you and your relationship priorities. Websites are either big, such as Match.com or Yahoo! Personals, so that you can screen many potential dates with varied characteristics and interests; or smaller, where merely by choosing it says a lot about what's important to you in a relationship. For many people, religion is what I call a "quick sort." So choosing a website where you have to be a particular religion helps to sort out those who aren't. There are websites for ivy leaguers, pet lovers, and now, the fitness-conscious. Fitness-Singles.com is an online dating website for singles who "prioritize health and fitness." Chris Mattioli, the president of the organization, wants to "avoid fit & unfit mismatches. . . which inevitably bring about frustration and annoyance for all parties involved." This is an obvious "niche" site that caters to singles who want a partner to share their enjoyment and commitment to an active lifestyle. Using this site will help singles who prioritize being fit as a criteria for finding a life partner, rather than, for example, religion or pet-lovers. I looked at the site and saw that most of the profiles were of men and women in their 20's and 30's. They can choose among 79 different activities such as hiking, biking, running, and even marathoning and Iron-man competitions! So if this aspect of life is important to you, then I say, GO FOR IT!
