Ever wonder why people spend 20, 40 or 80 hours a week playing massively multiplayer online game World of Warcraft? It's to meet hot chicks. That's why a band of intrepid entrepreneurs has developed a cleverly-named social network to "facilitate the building of relationships between World of Warcraft enthusiasts." The wondrous World of Datecraft has currently attracted 300 lonely WoW fanatics (judging from forum registrations). We suspect the appeal of World of Warcraft players is understated. Sure, there's the deathly pallor. But what girl doesn't swoon over a guy capable of back-handing his enemies across the Swamp of Sorrows with an Infinity Blade? That's all part of the attraction: You know he's capable of obsessively focusing on a single goal. All you have to do is switch his attentions over to you.

The only thing less datable than a guy who lives in his parents' so he can play WoW is the girl who would date him.
