Bewildering dedication to a commercial enterprise
I mean it's not as though it is something important like a football team . . .
Even in the hearts of Apple fanbois, there's room to love another human being as well as machinery. But it's better if the human receiving that love also has an iPad, say those who are presumably experts in the matter. Working on the basis that Apple fanbois/girls will be happier if they date other lovers of fruitchomp-branded …
It'll keep the smug, selfish, vacuous, shallow, gullible and ever so superior (whilst really having an inferiority complex that has to be hidden with designer tosh and need to be wanted by being in a gang) types away from the rest of us.
Though imagine their children........truly frightening. Though I think Strike Vomit has it about right!
Brings a whole new meaning to "not tonight dear, I'm on the iPad".
Naturally, you are expected to upgrade your iPartner every year when a slightly different model appears on the market. Normally this involves a cosmetic change in colour, although the basic functionality (iNag, iSpend, iWatchVacuousTV) is much the same.
I'm quite happy that my fiancé and I both disdain apple products and are fans of Windows. Maybe tech product choice is related to compatibility (various puns intended).
There most certainly should not be a dating site for Microsoft fans, by which I mean the entire MSN site should be ripped down.

Wot not a single thumbs down on a "taking the piss out of fanboi" comments.
Not a single praise of the cult of Cupertino?
Usually there's plenty of them with their sense-of-humour bypass with paranoia at the scientologist levels for all dissent.
Have they run out of wi-fi in the coffee shops? Or is it just too early in the day and they haven't finished stoking each-others ego's, slabs, Jesus phones?
This is de rigeur around here - the sense-of-humour bypass allegation simply isn't supported by the facts and most of the comments above are good-humoured jokes; you generally need to cross the line into malicious trolling to get significant down votes or ill-tempered responses.
...okay, so I'm just doing it to make a point, so what? Say something controversial, especially about nuclear power, and see how long you go on believing that only "malicious trolling" -- which, incidentally, how'd you reliably identify it as such? How do you know you haven't only spotted the incompetent ones? -- is the only way to make yourself unpopular around here.
Yes - they're getting charged $5 a month to do what OKCupid lets you do for free. That there are also massively fewer potential contacts doesn't seem to matter to them, it's "weeding out the hoi-polloi".
The price of fruitdom is eternal virginity.
"If it were a Linux fan dating site I could swear there would be many more males than females."
Except that Linux guys don't date. Well, probably not that different to the apple fanbois. Presumably, on iDating they are looking for a gal named Fleshlight iPad...
(I wanted to insult Windows lusers as well but couldn't be arsed.)
I kind of don't mind this - look, at least they'll have something in common. That's always a good thing, even if what they've got in common is a bit.. unusual.
Good luck to them I say. I'd rather the world was filled with people who want to get on, to whatever degree, than being filled with people whose main kick in life seems to be hurling insults at another group of people on the likes of the El Reg forums.
