I feel like it would be more efficient for us to hook up with non-paleo people so as to convert them and double our paleo baby numbers.

Hey Aaron - my site does just that and will be ready to be launched in a few days - just a few finishing touches!

I'll keep you posted!

It makes sense to look for someone with whom you have similar values, but I wouldn't make paleo the foundation of my relationship. People grow and change over time. If you want a lasting relationship there has to me more than just current interests binding you together. What would you do if your SO decided to follow a different dietary path at some point in the future? Break up? Divorce?

I know of several successful mixed-dietary-style relationships. It only ever seems to be a problem in relationships that were already floundering. The foundation of a good relationship is mutual respect and love, not identical thought processes.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with a paleo dating site, but there is a lot more to a successful relationship than perfectly matched dietary preferences.

GROK met women in person back in the old days. Sterotypically, he met them with a club and not at a club. Also, he got a chance to evaluate indicators such as hygeine and odor before he would commit to anything else including weeks of chat conversation. You can't tell some things over the internet. You can smell things like diabetes and infection sometimes in a person who isn't smothered in perfume.

Just joking about clubs, I think Grok was probably quite nice to women actually seeing as how all they had to do was walk away and there was no officer to file a missing persons report or internet to track them down.

it's so obvious that being paleo alone won't necessarily result in a match. Can't see anywhere on this post where anyone made that claim.

However it's a dam good place to start if it's an option! Eating and health is a huge part of life and everyone who eats paleo knows this. You find a match in this category and you tick more than one box!

I agree about the internet. once again when you see someone in real life it answers more than one question. paleo speed dating could be a good idea. even better if they provided paleo cuisine at the event.

the pool of paleo people might not be that big but that's not what the discussion is about. if it works it works. most people only need to find one person (at a time anyway).

it's ridiculous to object to this idea. it doesn't hurt anyone. sounds great to me.

Also, if you don't look for paleoish type people at the outset and you find someone anyway, you get married, you somehow (with difficulty) make it work with this major difference in beleifs, you get to about 50 or 60 years old and the non paleo parter gets sick as predicted and eventually dies (the whole experience pretty tough although completely avoidable), what do you do then?? Start all over again? why not just get it right at the start?

If you cook tasty meals and are an example of health its not that hard to get your partner to eat Paleo. My GF is resistant to new ideas and proudly ate mostly Taiwanese food (her ethnicity) but she now eats 80% paleo. Whenever she was at my house I would make us paleo breakfast, lunch and/or dinner and then would point out to her how much better we feel after eating vs after eating a high carb, gluten laden meal. Now when she does stray its rice noodles or maybe some soy milk in coffee. Since she realized herself how much better she feels when eating paleo she is now the one that insists we follow the diet a alot of the time.

I actually launched a dating site for all dieters (I've been paleo for almost 3 years now) to solve this specific problem. It's called SamePlate.com and it's 100% free! Please visit it today, and start dating that caveman or cavegirl today!

SamePlate.com, the dating site that matches people by the food they eat (or don’t eat)! And unlike other sites that charge a premium to contact other members, SamePlate is 100% FREE!!! SamePlate.com: Same Food, Same Love, Same Life.

No need for pick up lines, and none of the pressures of dating — Just start a conversation about food! Sign up, list all your favorite foods and the diets you’re on, and search for your perfect food match! Even post pics of food and recipes! Join today for free at SamePlate.com!

I wish more people used OkCupid and put the word Paleo in their profile. Then you can use the keyword search feature in OkCupid to find other Paleo daters.

Wanting to be with someone you have something in common with is a big commonality for me. Paleo is a huge part of my life and I want to date someone who eats the same way I do so I started a new site for dating Paleo, PaleoSingles.com. Just being with someone Paleo like me makes cooking dinner more pleasant, finding the right place to eat out more exciting and understood by your bf/gf. Once I went Paleo I wanted to figure out a good way to meet other Paleo eaters, its a lifestyle choice and a big one for me now, so hopefully the site will work for others too.

This is on the same level of racism and fascism. just like being black, white, jewish, or protestant does not define you as a person, the kind of food you eat does not either. Careful with this line of thinking.

Never used it tho.

This would be great. Most people have no idea what paleo is.. And people like my soon to be ex husband try to undermine me (in regards to our son) so really paleo or not is definitely going to be more important than religion (which is never important to me) or what have you the next time I go looking for a potential partner or especially potential sperm donor...

I went to both Sameplate.com and paleoconnect.com and searched for Female searching Male in Los Angeles, CA and got 1 profile each to be found. In Los Angeles. I wish there were more profiles on these sites, I would totally date from those pools :(
