What about the -- I think it's Spring Street? They run the personals on The Onion and various other sites. (Maybe Salon.com?)
I know two different geeky people who met people through them, so maybe an option?

Someone asked a very similar Q on AskMeta once. (And look, the second commenter is me! How ironic).
The number of couples who met at Metafilter meetups or via Metafilter channels (IRC, e-mail, etc) is really astonishing. 5 come to mind without having to think hard about it (well, it's easy when 1 includes me!).
That said, posting this might get you some dates. Go for it, lady! :-D

Yeah, I asked a very similar question recently. I didn't specify that I was looking for MetaFolk but by asking it here, figured it was implied. Based on the responses I got, I signed up for Consummating but never really understood the commenting thing and got frustrated really quickly. I also signed up for OK Cupid after it was suggested, met a few people through there but none of them panned out. My current totally awesome boyfriend came to me through Craigslist.

I was found on a doorstep as a baby.
I was summoned forth from the darkest pits of the abyss; my coming was foretold by the darkness of a storm and the strangled rattle of a dying madman. As the rift was wrenched open, the foul effluence that preceded me spilled out and rose up as flies to devour the very land itself, seeding it with maggots and tainting it with scars.
And then when I turned two, I was given a kitten. Her name was Taffy.
And all was right with the world.

Sorry, The Deej. No attempt at one-upmanship was intended. Your childhood tale just got me all nostalgic, and I wanted to share.
And though it would have been far more relevant I didn't want to discuss the details of my courtship and inevitable marriage to the Dark Princess, my bride. Some things are too just terrifying for a sane mind to comprehend.

Pay no attention to Consumer Reports and their "fact"-based analysis. The Impersonals is surely the dopest of them all.
Seriously though, I tried to make The Impersonals into a straightforward personals site that didn't insult anyone's intelligence. The main problem now is that it needs more people to sign up.

I met my last girlfriend at a munch (like a meet-up but less hip) organized by a local BDSM group that I helped found three or four years earlier. Of course, most of the organizing/contacting for this organization took place through Yahoo Groups, so it had a strong element of internet geekery to it.

Unfortunately for delmoi, that's life-size at 800x600.
Er, that depends on the monitor right? On a 21-inch monitor that would be 7.3 inches, and not much of an insult.
If you're going to insult someone think it through man. The higher the resolution, the smaller the dick, not the other way around.

I met Miss Kwine when we were in middle school, though we didn't get together until high school. So I recommend hanging out around middle schools, and cultivating a mildly flirtatious acquaintenceship, which will, with a few years of maturity, turn into something worth keeping (8 years now, if the clock is right). YMMV.

He knew that better me of course. I thought we could've been friends, no way though. Obviously time and experience builds walls. Unbreachable walls. When ever I break wind I think of Mrs Tolwyn and her only son. Though I never went back to that bar again, too many orphans.

Rinse, repeat;-) But then with those of us who are prolific posters a look at out posting histories will tell you all sorts of things about the progress and events of our lives.
Much as I love the idea of a DateMe page for this site in some ways, it also gets me mildly freaked out. One time I did have a crush on a MeFite, and I started browsing his considerable posting history. It was fun for the first ten or fifteen minutes, and then I started to feel uneasy. I decided that that was not the way I wanted to find out that sort of stuff about him, and that I was losing interest anyway, and shut it down.

Ha, I just realized that the Internet is responsible for me meeting my boyfriend, in a very roundabout way.
On the f0reignexchange community on LiveJournal was a girl who posted "Exchange Comics", short comics about her exchange experiences. I found them funny and added her to my friends list.
I found out she lived in a residential college in Brisbane, Australia - I was moving to Brisbane for university and was looking for a place to stay. I was apprehensive at first (the college has a bit of a reputation) but decided to apply to the college for accommodation. I got accepted and moved in.
Around O-Week I ran into Mark, who also goes to the same university I went to - it was a different one from the uni my college belongs to, and there was a small group of us from this other uni. The first thing we talked about was how to get to uni from here! We became friends, and talked to each other when we saw each other.
In August our college held a ball and we both attended...things happened (there is a very long story in the Your First Kiss map thread on the blue) and we've been together ever since.
geez, the Internet is responsible for everything in my life, it looks like.

I paid $5 to get into MetaFilter and I got a wonderful geek who knows how to protect our laptop from bugs and how to connect televisions and dvd players and resets the blinking clocks after the power goes out and googles all sorts of stuff about weird foods to stay away from and finds funny gifts on the web like screeching caped flying monkeys and cows with rubber band arms and organized our entire financial situation into a multi-tabbed spreadsheet that he keeps meticulously updated so that we know when we can afford to put more cash toward the mortgage and can always find the answer on imdb when we watch a movie with an actor who looks familiar who we can't quite place and always shares the funny pictures of pugs he finds on the internet with me. And there are some other things worth mentioning too but those are too personal. And also he has really nice hair.

(Quonsar, you have been a total MeFi crush of mine forEVAR, but, alas, you are 43.048136, -85.681319, while I am 38.840403, -77.0888. It is: a tragedy.)

My wife (miagaille) and I met on Facebook (back when it was limited to just 5 or 6 schools). She was the only person besides me with the word 'Cryptonomicon' in her profile.
We moved in together within the week.

The Deej I called a Montana meetup, but I was the only one who showed.
"There are no other MetaFilter members nearby, sorry."
According to the mathowie, 'nearby' is fifty miles. Kinda descriminatory in Big Sky country. Maybe you need to shout louder next time.

Ok, that's it, you shy violets. The next NYC meetup is going to be a key party.

I met my wonderful boy on metachat.org, I don't know if this is considered "MeFi" or not but I got there from here.

The Deej, there are 5 or six of us in Montana, several in the Dakotas, and at least 3 in Idaho. As always, distance is our enemy, meetup wise. But anytime you wanna go plug gophers 'round Big Timber, I'm there.

Woohooo gopher pluggin! Funny thing is, I ended up in the wrong state. I don't hunt, fish, ski, or snowboard. I do like the outdoors, and hiking/photography. I came here from Detroit, where guns were never used on gophers. :)
Next time I hit the road to Bozeman, I'll give you a shout!
(Funny Montana thing: people will complain about driving "all the way to other side of town" here in Billings, which is 15 minutes. But they think nothing of driving to Denver for a Broncs game.)

I don't remember where but I saw a picture of MeetMegan somewhere and she definitely qualifies as a hottie. Since she is not taken the answer to Kato's question is "no."

Oh I guess I could answer the actual question - got distracted by all teh funnie.
I met my darling girlfriend on the Salon(SpringStreet) system, but before they went and fucked it all up, pricing structure-wise. Maybe they have unfucked it since - I noticed the screwup about a year and a half ago when I went to try to transfer my unused credits to a friend somehow and discovered I didn't have any anymore.
Were she to suddenly come to her senses I am unsure where I'd find dates.
