So, you’ve swiped left and right on countless dating apps, and the whole thing’s starting to feel a bit routine.

What is the Amazon dating website?
Imagine a dating site, but make it a bit absurd. That’s what Amazon Dating is all about. It’s not the real deal; it’s more like a joke, a parody website that’s here to make you chuckle. The brains behind this prank are Ani Acopian, Suzy Shinn, Morgan Gruer, and the animation experts at Thinko. They’ve created a quirky platform that looks a lot like Amazon but instead of gadgets and gizmos, you’ll find people.
Picture this: you’re scrolling through a catalog, but instead of gadgets, you’re looking at humans. Each person comes with a picture, a price tag (yes, you read that right), and even reviews if you’re curious about what others think. Want someone who’s the right height for you? You can filter that too. And here’s the fun part—each person has something called ‘Love Language’ traits. It’s like their special skills in the love department, whether it’s saying nice things, doing thoughtful things, giving gifts, spending quality time, or being physically affectionate.
Now, the big question: can you actually buy a person on Amazon Dating? The answer is a big no. It’s all a prank. Once you pick your dream person, click ‘Buy,’ and brace yourself for a fake confirmation email. No need to worry about an unexpected knock on your door from your newly ordered companion. And just for laughs, they’ve thrown in a Non-Ghosting Agreement (NGA). It’s like a promise that you won’t just disappear on the person you “bought” unless you have a really good reason.

Is Amazon dating real or fake?
As you may have guessed, the Amazon dating website is clearly fake, you obviously can’t add human beings into your cart and buy them. This would probably inflict a couple of human rights laws too. However, the concept is pretty fun, and it could actually be turned into a literal dating website with fewer references to the company Amazon to minimize all the copyright risks.

Concerns
While Amazon Dating is all about laughs, not everyone finds it equally amusing. Some folks raised eyebrows about the different price tags on people, wondering if it’s a subtle nod to social inequalities. As this playful online joke gets attention, it sparks conversations about where the line is between humor and sensitivity. Even in the laughter, there’s a hint of seriousness about how we view relationships and connections in our digital age.
So, there you have it—the tale of Amazon Dating, where humans take the spotlight in a lighthearted game of pretend. It’s a refreshing twist in the world of online dating, reminding us that sometimes, laughter is the best way to navigate the complexities of love and relationships. So, enjoy the joke, and who knows, maybe one day we’ll look back and say, “Remember that time we ‘ordered’ humans on Amazon for a laugh?”
