Adsense Targeting For Popular Dating Site?

Hey everyone...I've got a tricky problem. I posted about this on the main forum yesterday when the board was wigging out but it got buried so I thought I'd post again here in a little more detail.

A little background: I've got a client, a popular new dating website that's 100% looks based. They've created something that they're calling "crowdsourced matchmaking" where basically they show two pictures, and then their site visitors vote (yes/no) on whether or not the couple looks good together. If enough people vote yes, the couple gets notified that they've been matched and they can meet in real life if they want.

My problem is, they've decided to use Adsense to try and build an extra monetization stream, but Adsense targets ads based on the content it finds on the page in which the ad sits.

The site is very basic. There's virtually no content at all. It's just two pictures and two buttons for voting 'yes' or 'no'...so there's nothing for Adsense to target and we're seeing some really weird ads.

You can take a look at the site here if you want YouLookGoodTogether.com

I've added as much descriptive content to the title tag, and meta description and keyword tags as I can, and that's helped a little bit...but not much.

Does anyone have any idea on what I can do here? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Website definitely needs some more features. I don't see how anyone would spend time on this website :\

      Yeah, you'd think that...but the users click click click constantly...the feedback they've got from users is "addictive"... so *shrugs*

      Of course, the site's still in beta, they've got a long list of features that they're working on and rolling out as they can..

    I don't think Adsense fits that site very well.

    IMO, you need dating offers on the site.

      Agreed, some dating CPA offers would pay more and probably convert better anyways

      Adsense doesn't have dating offers? They're trying to get into dating affiliate programs as well, but most are hard to get into for some unknown reason. Or they're clearly porn related, which the owners want no part in...
