Top Online Dating Apps for Android in August 2016

August is romance awareness month. To celebrate romance year-round, why not find a new partner and fall in love? Well, love might be a little ambitious, but you can always hope – and try for your shot at love (or lust) with a dating app.

While there are common dating app contenders, some people think that you’re more likely to find love with someone who shares a common interest. Or, in the cases of these apps, an obscure common interest. This August, try out one of these four niche dating apps to find your extra-special someone.

Twindog

You might love your dog more than you love, well, anyone else. If that’s the case, Twindog is for you. Twindog is similar to Tinder in that you swipe right if you make a match, but in this case, that match isn’t human. Instead, you like a picture of someone’s furry friend (with a teeny, tiny thumbnail of that dog’s owner in the corner) you can swipe right. Chat features let you decide if you want to make a play date – for four.

Dead Meet

Perhaps the most surprisingly obscure of any niche dating app, Dead Meet matches singles who work in the death industry, including taxidermists, morticians, and pathologists. Perhaps a useful app – not everyone wants to date or marry a mortician, after all – the app’s users are primarily based in London, although it is adding new members worldwide all the time.

DragonFruit

A dating app for geeks, DragonFruit helps you meet potential new partners by matching people with similar interests. To start, you create a profile with a personal origin story and a list of your hobbies and fandoms. DragonFruit then matches you with another user whose fandoms are the same as yours.

FarmersOnly

Online dating can seem like an urban phenomenon, but that doesn’t mean that rural folks don’t need love, too. That’s where FarmersOnly comes in. Lonely people in the country can get out of the bars and onto the Internet with this dating app that aims to find love for farmers, ranchers, and other rural dwellers.
