Looking for love on 'Tinder for Nazis'
31 Granite Staters are among the right-wing lonely hearts whose dating profiles were leaked from a white supremacist dating site.
It may not be the most romantic dating profile, but it is clear and concise: “Id like to find a like minded partner to help save the White race.” That opening line from a 38-year-old New Hampshire man is just one of more than 6,000 dating profiles leaked from a white supremacist dating site that acclaimed writer and academic Eva Hoffman labeled “Tinder for Nazis.”
The profile data from the WhiteDate dating site was leaked by a German hacktivist who goes by the name Martha Root. Late last year, Root gathered intelligence from would-be paramours after surreptitiously installing an AI chatbot on the dating site and eventually downloaded over 100 GB of data from. As a final insult, Root dressed as the Pink Ranger from Power Rangers in December and concluded a Chaos Communications Congress (CCC) presentation by appearing to take down the site in real time.
WhiteDate, operated by a far-right extremist based in Germany, is part of a white supremacist ecosystem that includes WhiteChild, a service connecting white sperm and egg donors with intended white parents, and WhiteDeal, a racist marketplace for freelancers and service providers. “White people are almost gone,” a WhiteDate social media post claimed, “but if we unite globally, we can repair our demography, heal our communities, and start to defend White interests globally.”
Granite Staters’ profiles leaked
Root published 6,639 WhiteDate dating profiles with biographical information, including the member’s pseudonym, age, gender, and location, as well as personal details including educational attainment, income, religious and political views, and IQ.
With the WhiteDate data provided by Root and an unofficial WhiteDate search engine built by a security researcher known as Zeacer, I uncovered 31 profiles that list New Hampshire as home. The Granite Staters include business owners and professionals, a biologist and a tattoo artist, even a convicted January 6 insurrectionist and former member of a neo-Nazi hate group.
Members of this pro-white lonely hearts club range in age from 21 to 56, with a median age of 36. The majority are college-educated; 20 claim to be college graduates, including two with master’s degrees.
They hail from every region of the state, checking-in from the North Country (Berlin), the White Mountains (Conway and Lincoln), Dartmouth–Lake Sunapee (Danbury, Georges Mills, Lebanon, and Lempster), the Lakes Region (Alton, Holderness, and Tilton), the Monadnock Region (Keene), Merrimack Valley (Amherst, Concord, Goffstown, Manchester, Nashua, Salem, and Windham), and the Seacoast (Hampton).
The group is made up of 26 men and five women. That split mirrors the site overall, where 86% of the profiles are submitted by men. The imbalance is so pronounced that the site includes a page encouraging men to recruit more women. “Men are vanguards, and it is reflected in the ratio between men and women on WhiteDate,” it states. “So gentlemen, don’t be shy and invite white ladies in real life who display trad potential.”
‘We should never kneel to this Zulu criminal class’
Many of the Granite Staters’ profiles combine a 1950s-style ideology of domesticity with casual racism. “I want my husband to come home to a warm, comforting home filled with love and kindness,” wrote CharMackenzie, a 21-year-old Manchester resident. “Only a White woman can do that for her White children and husband.”
“I want to find a trad wife. Feminism is RAMPANT even within the Church unfortunately,” wrote NTAKevin. “I want a wife. I also want white children instead of mixed,” the 36-year-old Concord man added.
The 56-year-old owner of a Grafton County woodworking and design business wrote that he joined the site “to possibly connect with a woman who is a lover of tradition, one who is faithful and true.” He added, “As to race awareness, never, in my lifetime have I been more aware. White Christians have been superior at building civilizations and we should never kneel to this Zulu criminal class.”
Two of the profiles include explicit neo-Nazi references.WindmillSpic, a 35-year-old “Delta Male” from Lebanon who claims to be the “whitest spic you’ll meet,” listed National Socialism as his political orientation. DesertGhost, a 40-year-old college graduate from Manchester, ended his profile by writing, “1488 stay strong men! (1488 is widely recognized as white supremacist code: “14” refers to the 14-word slogan, “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children,” while “88” stands for “Heil Hitler,” H being the eighth letter of the alphabet.)
An insurrectionist ‘committed to our race’
The most prominent profile is from a man who now introduces himself as “your local January 6th capitol rioter.” Four days before he stormed the U.S. Capitol, Richard Zachary Ackerman appears to have submitted a dating profile on WhiteDate using the same Zach Parker pseudonym referenced by the FBI in his criminal complaint.
His WhiteDate profile described the Salem home he apparently inherited from his grandmother, alluded to the deaths of his mother and half-brother, and echoed his previously-stated interest in mortuary science. Ackerman noted that his Salem home — “the perfect place to start a family with a few repairs” — is located in a “99% white area.” He added, “We all have some kind of reason to be committed to our race when so many have forgotten or simply dont care.”
Ackerman previously posted a photo from Paris in which he flashed a card promoting the Nationalist Social Club (NSC-131), a New England-based, neo-Nazi hate group. In it, he appears to be wearing the same black leather jacket he wore in his WhiteDate profile photo.
At the Capitol, Ackerman threw a water bottle at officers engaged in intense fighting with rioters on the Lower West Terrace and stole a U.S. Capitol Police Officer’s helmet. He called the helmet his “war trophy” and attached an NSC-131 sticker to it. Ackerman was arrested in 2023 and eventually pleaded guilty to felony and misdemeanor charges. He was sentenced to 24 months of supervised release with ten months of home detention.
‘Extremist propaganda embedded within a dating app’
“This isn’t about white people dating white people,” Root insisted in a video detailing her exploits. “It’s about how that narrative is used as a cover to spread hate, racism, and conspiracy.”
“Users are casually introduced to ideas such as white genocide, the notion that white people are being systematically replaced,” she said. “They are also introduced to antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jewish control over the media, politics, and finance. The language used spiraled straight from extremist forums and has been softened just enough to be considered discussion.”
“This is extremist propaganda embedded within a dating app,” Root explained. “What appears to be a niche alternative to Tinder is actually a global far-right ecosystem with thousands of users across the U.S. and Europe. Loneliness is being monetized. Hate speech is normalized. Criminal ideas are shared behind profile pictures and heart emojis.”
