Meeting
new people and dating is terrible as it is, but when you're a cannabis
consumer, it's even worse.Say you're on a first date and everything is going
very well. You have genuine chemistry and a good rapport with your date, you
have the same taste in movies and TV shows, and then you mention you like to
smoke a joint or two after work.
Suddenly,
everything gets awkward because cannabis still has a negative stigma in some
circles of society. If only there was a way to meet singles who share your
passions. Lucky for you, there are unique dating sites for just the occasion.
There
are three realizations you come to once you enter the real world as a working
adult:
1. A
9 to 5 job is rarely ever just 9 to 5.
2.
Your free time is pretty limited.
3.
Dating sucks.
The
social freedoms you enjoyed before joining the rat race take a hit once you're
working for The Man. Unfortunately for singles, this can be hazardous for your
dating life.
For busy professionals, the idea of "finding
someone" might seem like a daunting task. With deadlines, work dinners,
and meetings galore, trying to meet someone often falls to the very end of your
to do list. This is why dating apps were invented though: to make online dating
way easier, enabling you to use your free time wisely. (Waiting for a meeting
to start? Swipe on Tinder. Commuting to work? Message with that cutie you found
on OkCupid.)
Whether it's something casual or a real relationship that
you want, there's an app that will make your search a whole lot easier. Ranking
highest on our list were EliteSingles, Match,
and OkCupid. We
found that with sites like eharmony and Match, the initial output (i.e a
lengthy sign up and/or membership fee) is worth it for the return. After all,
those who are willing to pay the price for love are clearly serious, unlike
some swipe-based free apps where the likelihood
of even meeting up in real life can be slim to none.
Read on for why these are the 10 best online dating apps
for people who work for a living:
EliteSingles: For
the professional who wants someone equally educated
The
gist:
: EliteSingles caters
its site specifically to professionals. In this contest, "elite"
seems to simply mean that one is in possession of a bachelors degree. (The site
boasts that 82% of its members are college educated.) The signup process
for EliteSingles is
similar to that of eharmony, in that it requires you to take a lengthy
personality test before showing you your matches. The personality test is based
on the Five Factor Model, which breaks down your personality in five main
categories: openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion,
agreeableness, and neuroticism. Once you finish filling out the personality
test, the site gives you several different options to find someone, including
recommending matches, showing your profile visitors, or their "Have You
Met" feature that shows you compatible matches that may fall a bit outside
of your chosen filters.
Why
it works:
EliteSingles members
are more than likely going to be in a similar boat as you. They're educated
professionals who took the time to fill out a lengthy questionnaire in hopes of
finding someone just as serious as them (not to mention that they have enough
disposable income to pay for the site — if the questionnaire wasn't enough to
weed out the pretenders, the membership fee would probably do the trick.) These
people know what it's like to work hard and can be empathetic when you've had a
long day at the office. EliteSingles also only shows you members who it deems
you compatible with based on your personality, so you can be at ease knowing
the odds are already in your favor.
