For goths, clowns and furries : 8 strange niche dating apps you didn't know existed

Imagine going to a restaurant and then finding out that the person you are going out on a date with is a follower of a certain political party that you despise. Nothing worse than that, right?

But don't worry, John McEntee, the founder of 'the right stuff' has come up with a solution. If you are a Trump supporter and want to date another Trump supporter, there is an app for it.

In an interview with The Fox News, McEntee, an American political advisor in the Trump administration, said that he started this app as a solution to the problems faced by the supporters and staff of Trump. 

What is 'The Right Stuff'? The launch itself was not nearly enough to stir controversy, rather the site had certain unrequiered impromptu questions you needed to answer. 

For example, some of the questions were:

• Thoughts About January 6 (US Capitol Riot day)
• Your favourite Bible verse etc. 

The app was officially launched on September 30, 2022, but the reviews started coming in just yesterday (October 12, 2022) and when we say it's thrilling and hilarious at the same time, it is. 

Now, If you think this is crazy and over the top even for Americans and a tad more than even Desi arrange marriages, trust us, this is just the beginning. The internet is full of such weird and niche dating websites that claim to help you choose your perfect partner.
