Green Is The Latest Trend In Niche Dating
Canada.com:
It’s hard to believe that using “eco” to describe your sexual bent will help you get laid, or land true love, but “green” is the latest trend in niche dating.
Although staying home and getting naked with the one you love is probably as green as it gets in the dating department, eco-sensitive singles are like anyone else: They have to find that special person first.
To fill the green gap, eco dating websites are springing up, and green jargon has now expanded to include the word “ecosexual.”
The term, coined by San Francisco magazine, identifies this particular anthropological subset as “an evolving breed of city dweller for whom keeping green is every bit as important in their romantic life as in their choice of household cleanser, dinner food or wall paint.”
But can we really choose our mates using the same criteria as we use for our bathroom cleanser?
The thought of lonely ecosexuals cruising – on their bikes – for someone to hook up with for coffee (don’t forget your helmet and reusable mug) is beyond depressing.
A quick perusal of one of the most popular international green dating sites, greenpassions.com, might confirm your worst suspicions about ecosexuals.
For the most part, the assortment seems, well, terrifyingly natural.
On one major site you could date someone who goes by the handle “Wolfeathers,” and describes herself as “psychic” and with “a few extra pounds,” but is not afraid to show her largish midriff wearing a witchy maxi dress in a woodland setting. More.
