- From mermaids to swords, welcome to the world of Russian online dating
- Hilarious pictures posted by singles hoping to meet a potential soul mate

Lonely hearts looking for a mate have been known to go to extraordinary lengths to find the partner of their dreams.
But for these people, captured in images posted on a Russian dating site, those lengths might be just a bit too far.
The images provide a bizarre snapshot into the worlds of the people looking for love - and in some cases a weird and wonderful view inside their minds.

In one of the hilarious pictures a woman, who has fashioned a mermaid costume from what looks like an ironed tablecloth, gazes seductively at the camera.
And in another, which is designed to find the subject a date, a woman takes a bathtime selfie complete with glass of wine... and yellow rubber gloves.
Sometimes homemade isn't always best: This woman created her own mermaid costume for her picture

Does this man think that posing with a gun in front of ornamental dogs will detract from his unusual hairstyle?
Food also features in the saucy snaps, with one lady pictured pouring a fizzy drink over her clothes on a riverbank.
Another woman goes all out, by donning a bikini to munch on a whole watermelon, an image which she hopes will attract a potential life partner.
This Russian gentleman (left) hopes that showing how flexible he is in a children's playground will make a potential partner swoon. (Right) a man relies on a 'sexy' dead fox headpiece to entice an online love interest
A woman uses those tried and tested seduction tools, a banana and a newspaper, to help in her quest for love
The men don't spare any blushes when looking for love too.
One of the pictures shows a topless man, complete with a lego-esque haircut and high-waisted trousers.
In the image he is flexing his muscles in a room that looks like it is straight out BBC sitcom Rising Damp.
Many people on the site seem to believe that a heavily patterned carpet is the perfect backdrop for a picture

Another show a man in what can only be described as a shellsuit, performing a unusual backwards high kick in a children's play area.
It is not just macho men on display, some of the boys have got in touch with their feminine side in order to attract a significant other.
This pair like to show off their leisure wear, and think that it will inspire people to get in touch with them online
One man poses in a Halloween witch's hat, while another looks to be sporting an unusual peroxide blonde mullet.
However, the fancy headpiece is actually a dead fox.
