In Technic's tradition... (give credit where credit is due! )
So Clarissa, how about starting a matrimonial agency for single socks?
I have a bunch of aging single socks still waiting for their lost zivug in a drawer of mine...

You mean it can only to be worn by a "vegetable"? (r"l) Doesn't fit on a 'meaty calf'?

Brilliant idea! I have socks that have longed for mates for about two decades -- they're older than some imamothers. Yet I hang onto them, in hopes of finding their bashert.
Some I keep because of their cuteness -- this little black tie tuxedo sock. They were so much fun, I can't throw it out knowing its mate is out there somewhere. Maybe I should find an equally cute mate in the new Sock Dating Service.
As this is imamother, I suppose we're all going to start bickering about which socks are tsnius, thereby limiting the potential matches for the singleton footwear. This could get very heated, for my rav holds that ankle socks are okay but, for others, their knee socks would never consider such a partner. Or I predict posts like, "My grey knee-hi met a grey argyle who had great recommendations, but he had this smell...like feet!"
So your idea is great, but fraught with potential issues.

I have a white sock who might fit the bill
But then their children will be bi-racial, and might have a hard time if they ever need to be adopted... Not sure if this is such a good idea after all

I have a couple of 'cousin' socks. Think I could just pair them up? or could it cause problems?

Brilliant!
This sock probably belongs to imamother...
Maybe we should start private sock forums as to not offend the different socks sensibilities...

hmmmm what if the black sock's parents use a black tablecloth so they match? I think white tablecloths only are good for shidduchim, no? Cute thread.

This thread gave me a much needed chuckle.
Or maybe its the idea that there might be shidduchim for the two shoppingbags full of "single" socks currently located in the corner of my room.
I guess I must have racist socks, they've been sorted "lights" and "darks".
