Cupidtino: Dating Site for Apple Fans

CC-licensed. Thanks to macinate on Flickr.

If you don’t want to go out with a PC, there’s a new start-up determined to help you meet other Apples: Cupidtino.

The reasoning behind it?

Diehard Mac & Apple fans often have a lot in common – personalities, creative professions, a similar sense of style and aesthetics, taste, and of course a love for technology. We believe these are enough reasons for two people to meet and fall in love, and so we created the first Mac-inspired dating site to help you find other Machearts around you.

Right now, Cupidtino consists of a skeleton staff of three based in San Francisco, who say that the MacMatchmaking site should launch in June.

They also say the site will be gay-friendly, as long as you don’t bring a “Vista laptop, Windows Phone & Zune.”

We think the idea is clever — and plan to corral Cult of Mac singleton staffers to act as lab rats for the beta. In the meantime, if time you sign up, let us know!

This is not necessarily a good thing. I was married to an Apple fan (he converted me) and the best thing about our time together was the divorce.

Even if two people were both Apple’s there’s no guarantee of port compatibility without sticking the appropriate dongle on.

Hope they hire someone to protect them from The Terminator (watch The Secret Mission Of The Terminator, the new Adobe Flash ally against Apple – http://laxina.net/imagevue.php#/content/animation/1t600.flv/)

Apples and Wins can hook up as long as they are both wearing Silk.

I want a girl with multiple Firewire ports!

So, is this only for people of the heterosexual lifestyle, or will it include those with the gay “agenda”?

I want a “magical” girl that boots up quickly, “thinks differently”, “just works” like a Pro, doesn’t have any viruses, never Flashes me and keeps my Pad clean…

… and comes with no instructions :)

Once you’ve dated a Linux girl you’ll never go back nudge nudge wink wink :D

SEEKING
Hi, I’m a Mac, used but well kept. My hardware is very capable and my software is totally up to date. (No viruses, of course!). Boot up can be a bit slow at times, but once I’m up and running I can multitask like a champ! Very stable too. Haven’t crashed in years. Nothing replaced yet – I’m all original parts.
I’m looking for a newer model with at least two vacant ports, preferably one with a pretty interface and a beautiful unibody! If you’re one of those cool slim models who’s touch sensitive that would be great! I love multi touching! (Mind you, I’m bigger than 9,7 inch myself, but I’m sure you’ll find we’re compatible *he he*).
An ad hoc wireless connection will be okay for a start, but I’m really looking to hook you up in a protected LAN connection long term. But I’m also interested if you just want to plug and play ;-)

PS: I’m not a server, but it’s okay, if you’re a thin client.
