Mac Whore Seeks Another Mac Whore

cupidtinoAre you looking to date someone who owns an iMac, an iPhone and an iPad? Is your idea of the perfect date a couple of non-fat grande soy lattes from Starbucks and a friendly debate over iChat about what really constitutes clean design? If so, there’s a new online dating site that’s perfect for you. Cupidtino is the first and only dating site designed specifically for men and women who own Apple products—the idea being that people who buy Apple products are young, successful creative types with good taste who should date and eventually make babies with other young, successful creative types with good taste, thereby populating the world with aesthetically minded nerds and completing the final phase of Apple’s total world domination. Or, as the site so aptly puts it:

“Admit it—as Apple fans we love to hang out in cafés with our Macbooks and iPhones. Part of what we pay for is a chance to run into another geek who’s just as much into photography, design, Netflix, hybrids, the BBC, HTML5, polar bears, Wired, Whole Foods, Coldplay and Angry Birds as we are.”

In the grand tradition of all things Apple, Cupidtino only works with other Apple products. The site filters out the PC-using riffraff and guarantees super-exclusivity by requiring users to have an Apple device to log in. In your face, all of you non-Macbook-owning losers! Membership is a mere $4.79 a month—the cost of a Starbucks venti mocha (as Cupidtino helpfully points out). The site is still in Beta, but you can take a tour, sign up for this uber-exclusive club and start shunning people who don’t have money as soon as today. One question though: Why didn’t they call it iCupid?

    Sigh, Apple/hipster fail. With any luck the tight pants will act as birth control.

    They probably didn’t use iCupid because it’s trademarked by Apple, who will likely never use it, but Steve sleeps better knowing other people can’t either. Also, God help us if they start reproducing with one another.
