“I can't tell you how many interesting people I have...”

Danny S.
8/18/09

I can't tell you how many interesting people I have met on JDate. So I haven't found my future wife yet, but regardless, I find JDate to be a tremendously valuable resource for meeting singles in the Jewish community. I would encourage even the greatest skeptics of online dating to give it a try.

Top Critical Review

“TOTAL SCAM”

Kira B.
5/6/24

This dating site should have -10 rating. It is a total scam. They grab your money and present you with ten options where each individual is rated as being <33% compatible. I received one message (from a member) which was extremely rude and insulting. I was off this site in less than hour and had my credit card company deal with them since there is no customer service, just a virtual team. Don't be deceived by the slick advertising and high ratings in Forbes Magazine and others. I thought Match.com was bad enough and cancelled my membership after one day. JDate is far worse. In short, a total disaster. STAY AWAY! If you are feeling lonely, get a companion animal instead and your life will be much happier and you will be truly loved and cherished.

Jdate can be very dangerous for unsuspecting women. They don't verify any of the info members give. They must verify phone numbers, pictures, and social media. I have been played by 3 men in the 2 weeks that I have been on line.

I came here to see how many other Jdate members left since they re-designed their website and find it as awful and un-usable as I do. Apparently. There's alot. Run a Google search and there's dozens of bad reviews. That's why they're always running "specials" now! $9.99 a month, almost all the time. That's quite a discount from their old price of $39.99 a month. They've lost so many members, but refuse to listen to the complaints and make any improvements. 50% of the members "i viewed" have blank profiles, though they still appear on the page... click on them and it says "no longer a member". They leave all these profiles that were actually removed up and visible, or else the members page is so empty it looks silly. JDate... listen up!

Site is very hard to navigate; matches just makes no sense at all; constant bugs that blocks access, and an old-fashioned very cumbersome robot blocker.

But worst of all they're very greedy. I signed up for an annual membership, the following year they automatically charged my credit card I called them within 14 days to ask to kindly reverse the charge because I wasn't even aware of it, but they weren't going to return the $169 -- as in the T&C they were able to charge my card (and the CC issuer declined the dispute).

And they're supposed to represent the future of Jewish family...

Tip for consumers:
Be careful about sharing your credit card information with them

This is THE WORST dating site, by a lot. It is full of scammers. Spend your money on a cheap martini in a local bar, you might have better luck meeting someone, them not being a scammer, and you will have an enjoyable drink too. All the "men" I have met on this site so far are scammers! I am on other dating sites and have not had the same problem.

I met a "nice man" fairly rapidly. He was also very interested in getting me to get him a gift card/pre paid. While he claimed to be out of the area traveling for his mucho successful business. He was a total scam artist.

Women over 40 beware! Most profiles are fake or old guys looking to date younger women. Complete garbage.

Same girls at the front of the rotation, trolling hard. The nice people have given up and gone somewhere else. Big rip off.

Pros: JDate has a nice website, is easy to join, has good search features, is easy to navigate and some profiles have good pictures but they can't control that.

Cons: All of the above are useless if they don't have many paying members and worse, you have no way of knowing who is a paying member and only paying members can respond to your letters.

In my experience, the vast majority of profiles are from non-paying members who at one time paid for their membership but after the initial subscription expired, they decided not to renew. So when you initially do a free search there are seemingly so many profiles to choose from but in reality, there aren't. You have no way of knowing who can actually read your letters and can respond to them and who can't. Furthermore, JDate will not allow you mention anywhere in your profile that you are not a paying member - they don't want potential subscribers (suckers) to know the truth. This policy works well for JDate as it gives the appearance that they have far more subscribers than they actually do.

So what usually happens is that people join, find people they might be interested in and write a letter only to get no response because in many cases they contacted someone who can't even read the letter let alone respond. After dozens of these experiences people choose not to renew but leave their profile up and periodically do a search to see if there are any new faces. What is happening is that many former JDaters are joining Match which actually has more Jewish people in my area and only paying members can log on - for a lot less money BTW, so the odds of you getting a response are far better. OKCupid is free and also has a lot of Jewish people on it and frequently, I have found that people on JDate are usually on one of the other two sites often with the same profile name and pictures and therefore easier to contact.

So until JDate changes their policy and and has a symbol indicating who is an actual subscriber and who isn't - SAVE YOUR MONEY and search elsewhere.

Expensive and only 2 men in my area. Waste of time and money.
