I’ve seen sites where you can add criteria to your search like “runs 8-minute mile” or “loves to rock climb.” Being someone that rides road bikes, snowboards and runs, I like the idea of weeding out the couch potatoes early on. Then there is the problem of being over-focused. Imagine people lying about their mile times or how much they can bench press? “I don’t care if he looks nothing like his photo, he lied about being able to swim a mile!”

Press Release.

    That’s the scary thing about niche sites - you can run the risk of being too broad - or simply being too focused and getting some crappy profiles.
