Comment on My crazy JDate experience by Deena

Hey Jewish Girl. For all the aggravation, I still can’t agree with everything you wrote. Well, firstly, I’ve had someone write me who had that super-duper membership and I was able to reply even though I wasn’t a paid member. And secondly, although I have major issues with jdate, they are a huge database of Jewish singles… So, whatcha gonna do? Well, the best alternative would be for someone to create the coolest Jewish dating site ever. But plan B? Use jdate. Sadly.

this is ridiculous! I too have thought that Israeli guys didn’t care enough to fill out their profile. This is not the first time I’ve heard negative feedback about Jdate. They actually disgust me! did you know that even if the guy is a paid all access member (which means they paid for YOU to be able to respond) they still make you subscribe? what a load of nerve they have… these poor people are probably wondering why they are not getting replies to their messages. I WILL NEVER PAY FOR JDATE… screw them! I just put my first and last name and hope men are smart enough to find me on facebook :)

Comment on I’d rather be alone forever than… by Cobberdobble

I know this is old but… How did I get here? lol Hmm… deal breakers. That’s so ridiculous. I know to some people it’s important but to me it’s a complete waste of time. People have opinions and my opinion is I want someone who is not a killer, robber or rapist. If they are neither of those I’m good to go if they’re compatible. I don’t think those are ‘deal breakers’ though. It’s just common sense. I’m a 21 year old and I’ve always chose the one who’s really nice and I’ve had great luck with that. Also, I’d like to add to just take it easy and don’t look for it. Some people are meant to stay single all of their lives. Some people are meant to get prego at 18 and be married for 70 F*cking miserable years; sorry my opinion! To me I rather have protected sex like crazy and then settle down at your age but if it doesn’t happen cause I’m stuck with guys who i don’t get along with then so be it. I don’t care if he’s nuts, sane, ugly, handsome, morbidly obese, a freaking stick, black/white/mexican/chinese/etcetc. I don’t care as long as we get along. Oh wait, actually I do have a common sense “deal breaker”. If he’s a prick then it’s a no go. He better be borderline fag or yeah.. no go.

"Which is the most unmarried group of people in Israel or in the Jewish community, I wonder? (Maybe white Canadian-Israeli women in their 30s? :)" In the August 11th edition of the Yisra'el ShishiShabat(ישראל שישבת) supplement of Yisra'el haYom(ישראל היום), the article "רשות השידוך"(Rashut haShidukh) suggests that in Israel the most unmarried group of people are the Dati Le'umi. Although the authoress says( fourth paragraph): כחצי מיליון פנויים ופנויות בני 39-25 מסתובבים במגזר היהודי במדינת ישראל יותר מעשירית מהם משתייכים למגזר הדתי-לאומי: כ60- אלף בנים ובנות ... (i.e. they are only about 10% of singles in Israel, aged 25-39), she writes earlier( second paragraph): הדתיים נשארו עם בעיית הרווקות ובניגוד לחרדים - ללא האיש הזר בעל שלושת הסנטרים שיקשור את החוטים הפרומים. מצד שני בנים ובנות לא מעורבים אצלנו בשייק אחד כמו במגזר החילוני וכמחרבי מסיבות - אין אצלנו מסיבות. בטח לא כאלה שאפשר להכיר בהן גבר גבוה פנוי וירא שמיים. מצד שלישי אנחנו מאוד רוצים להתחתן. כמעט כל דתי שעבר את גיל הבלות (24) מעיד על רצונו "לבנות בית" ... suggesting there are more of them actually wanting to get married( relative to other groups), but having a hard time getting there.

Comment on What shidduch crisis? by Rono

Rono — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 07:47:39 +0000

I think you’ve missed some pretty important points. The crisis is not the fact there is an abundance of bachelor’s and bachelorette’s, the crisis is that people are ok with it. There has been an obvious delay in the time people are getting married, compared to even 20 years ago. The prime time for a woman to be producing children according to medical statistics is between the ages of 19-37. If people aren’t getting married till 30, don’t you see that as a cause for concern? I think one of the main issues is that people are jaded. Everyone is afraid of people that are not nice because of people that have not been nice to them in their lives. People are afraid of unhappy marriages because they happened to have witnessed a few unhappy marriages in their life and so they don’t want to “settle”. I think the biggest “crisis” is that we are expecting too much. Perhaps its a hollywood effect and we’re expecting a love story to result in a happily ever after. The “matchmaking commandos”, which is nothing more than a dating service, allows you to meet a few eligible bachelor’s/bacholerettes and then decide if you want to pursue. First impression is key in any relationship and can give you a major idea as to which direction you guys are going. There is no pressure. You don’t have to always try the cake if you don’t want to, no one is forcing you.
