Alternative Dating,
Gay Personals, Lesbian Personals

AltMatch is an alternative dating site where you can find just about everything imaginable, yet the ads are understated and not overtly sexual, and the people seem real.

Definitely recommended if you are looking for someone who is perhaps not too far out on the edge, yet with the possibility of a wild side.

Alt.com is described as the world's largest BDSM/fetish alternative dating personals, with over 1,000,000 active members, and around 18,000 new members each week. They have articles, an advice line and fetish magazine, along with thousands of graphic photos of members.

From Womanline, the Lavalife site for women seeking women:

"She's cute, she's single, she's never dated your best friend.

Think she's hard to find? Meeting women in our exciting, safe environment makes it so much easier to connect."

There are three areas of interest here, Dating, Relationship, and Intimate Encounters. You can enter and browse photos and ads for free, and joining to create a profile is free.

This is a large site -- when we visited recently, 60,151 new women had joined within the past 10 days. Womanline is one of the best sites for lesbian online personals, or just satisfying your curiosity.
