Being single for the Holidays ultimately sucks as many know. It brings that emptiness feeling of turning your head when you’re passing under a bouquet of mistletoe, and there’s nobody there to kiss, that just wears you down and leaves you with a bitter memory of what should have been the most joyous time of the year.
Enter the online dating sites that match you with somebody in your vicinity, who is also single and perhaps it won’t be so sad after all. It won’t be a match made in heaven, but it will be a match nevertheless.

When you’ve finished you can save the image, so if you’ve ever wondered what you, or your nearest and dearest would look like with a wild walrus or handsome handlebar, give it a try y’hear, y’all…
