A 'history nerd' who set up a dating app to help her daughter find a husband has launched a new site - for geeks. Dennie Smith, 62, was on a "geeky" World War history trip in France when the idea came to her.
She previously set up a dating site to help her daughter, Laurel, 34, find love - to no avail. Dennie launched her new app, Geek Meet Club, in November 2022 and said it is a “safe fun platform where you can flaunt your geekiness without being judged”. The app has around 2,500 certified nerdy members and is strictly for geeks.
Dennie, a hair salon owner, said: "I went on a tour with a group and a guide to France where we walked in all the tunnels of the trenches. It was a group of 13 of us, 10 men and two women and everyone was getting on so well that I just thought ‘wouldn’t it be nice to do a geek one?’”
