Nerd Dating
Zlobby (pronounced 'the lobby') is dating for nerds who fully own what they're into: science, games, comics, tech, fantasy. You build a detailed profile, you match on interests, not on photos. More into geek culture in general? Take a look at geek dating.
Being a nerd is something to own, not hide
You might spend a whole evening unpacking a scientific theory, 100% a game, devour comics or build your own PC. On Zlobby, that isn't an awkward detail to slip in on the third date: it's exactly what makes you interesting. Your profile starts from your passions, and we put them front and centre instead of watering them down.
So you don't get sorted by your looks, you get sorted by what you're into. You meet people who are genuinely into the same things, and a real conversation kicks off right away instead of a 'hey' that dies after two messages.
What you get on Zlobby
Features built for the nerd community, with no false promises: here is what actually exists today.
Match on interests
The algorithm connects profiles that share the same passions: science, games, comics, tech, fantasy, not just a photo.
Truly detailed profiles
Your favourite subjects, your platforms, the relationship types you want: you show who you really are, well beyond a one-line bio.
AI + human moderation
Photos and content go through AI moderation, backed by human review, for a healthier community.
Conversations that last
Private messaging, posts and comments: enough to get to know each other beyond the swipe.
Your obsessions, your rules
The dating section is optional and you turn it on whenever you want. If you mostly live for manga and anime, you'll feel right at home on the otaku dating side. Video games above all else? Take a look at gamer dating. You decide how you want to meet people.
New to the dating side? Our guide on how to date a gamer gives practical, cliché-free pointers that work just as well when you're falling for a nerd.
