Ireland has the highest population of redheads in the world, with approximately 10 per cent of us sporting fiery locks, so the ginger dating pool isn't quite as small as you may think.
Forget endlessly swiping through Tinder or Hinge in search of the rare redhead, as the new dating app, Ginger Zinger, has been launched to help gingers, and their admirers, find their soulmate.
Speaking to EVOKE, Founder of Ginger Zinger, David Minns, said he spotted a niche in the dating market and his new app aims to bring the redhead community together.
He said: " I specialize in making niche dating websites. So I make things that are like different, a bit quirky because [dating sites], it's a popular sort of industry, but nobody's really that interested in another sort of Tinder-type site.
"I try to be a bit creative and make something that has different sort of communities or different sort of niches and bring them together."
When setting up a profile on Ginger Zinger, users can identify as a redhead or as a redhead admirer, a simple feature that makes it easier to match with people who are searching for fiery-haired singles.
Profiles on Ginger Zinger can include up to nine pictures, your location, age, gender, sexuality, description and personal interests. And there's no swiping, so it doesn't have to come down to luck - if you see someone you fancy you can contact them right away.
As Ireland has the largest percentage of redheads in the world, followed by Scotland, the Ginger Zinger app goes one step further and is available not only in English but also in Gaeilge and Scots Gaelic.
And the best part for redheads is that on Ginger Zinger, they will finally be the ones in hot demand!
