Established in 1997, Jdate is the largest Jewish dating site that exists. Boasting millions of members, it has been in existence for over two decades because of the top-notch dating services that it offers. Jdate goes on to state that it is responsible for 52% of successful Jewish marriages.

From my judgment of the site, it is safe to say that Jdate has been the beginning of many thriving relationships. While the site clearly states that it is meant for Jews, you do not have to be Jewish to sign up. Anyone can join. However, most site members are of the Jewish religion. If you are wondering what this site has in store for you, read this Jdate review to find out!

pros
  • Anyone can sign up to the dating site, even those who are not of the Jewish religion
  • Easy-to-use website and app
  • A strong community that remains active as members participate in everything
  • Members can participate in singles events that are held online and offline
  • Immediate profile activation as the site does not have verification steps
  • Secret admirer feature that makes things more fun and interesting
  • Reliable customer care service
cons
  • Members with free accounts cannot message other members with free accounts, but they can message members with premium accounts
  • The site allows anyone to sign up, even those who are not Jewish. This may present a challenge for those who are only looking to date Jewish members of the site

Member Information

The member ratio of men to women on Jdate is 57:43, with the male members outweighing the female. This means one thing; the women are spoilt for choice when it comes to picking a partner. Most members fall in the 35-49-year age bracket. This is an audience that is a little more mature, and as such, most of them are looking for long-term relationships.

Some members are only looking for friendship and nothing beyond this. Weekly, I came across 50,000 active profiles. There were always members who I could chat with whenever I logged in, most of them engaging in intriguing conversations.

While there are about 200,000 members from the United States alone, Jdate also has members of French, German, and Spanish descent. The best thing about Jdate members is that they are warm and welcoming to newbies. They made me feel like I was at home.

Sign Up Process

Rating
4.5/5

Signing up to Jdate is as easy as providing your name, gender, date of birth, and what you’re seeking, either “man seeking man” or “woman seeking woman.” Jdate is gay friendly as the site accommodates heterosexual and homosexual members. It is up to you to select what you are looking for.

Signing up to Jdate

The sign-up process does not take long; in fact, filling in the appropriate details took a total of three minutes. Once you sign up, you can go on to fill your profile with the relevant information. I decided to be open and honest with the information I provided, as I was looking to create a genuine connection.

There are additional questions during the sign-up process, such as those that ask about your background or education. These are open-ended questions, and you can answer them how you please. Unexpectedly, signing up for Jdate was easier than I thought it would be.

Contacting People

4/5

With my free account, I could use chat filters that would lead me to the people I wanted to contact.

The site filters cover healthy habits, to faith, to politics. Once I got the search results that I anticipated, I was able to message the members. Messaging is the primary mode of communication Jdate.

However, I had to subscribe for a paid account so that I could contact people. With a free account, it was impossible to respond to messages from other free account members. Even so, I could respond to messages from premium members of the site.

Apart from messaging, I sent flirts to express interest in the members who caught my fancy (I must say, there were quite a bit). This way, I got quick responses and easily initiated conversations between myself and other site members.

If you want to keep things interesting, you can do so in the chat rooms where everyone comes together to participate in conversations. Sending emails is also an option, but this feature is only available for premium members.

Profile

Rating
4/5

The profiles on Jdate are as extensive as they are interesting. They can be searched for free by any member on the platform. They carry a boatload of information, including the profile owner’s religious beliefs and educational background. As such, it is possible to get a good idea of who someone may be, judging from their profile.

Here is some of the information my Jdate profile:

According to the information, you will know whether you want to pursue the individual or not.

Also, Jdate has strict safety standards and guidelines. It does not allow for the creation of fake profiles. The site’s administrators must approve all photos.

This means that there is no chance of running into scammers on the site. Fake profiles get suspended once they are noticed. The site also conducts verification on all photos. Fake photos are not allowed here.

Mobile App

Rating
4.5/5

The Jdate app is available for download from the Google Play Store or Apple Store. Navigating through the app is a breeze, especially because swiping left and tagging is not required. The app is sleek, modern, and comes with features that will make your experience even better.

I cannot get enough of the cool and catchy interface. As it did me, it will motivate you to keep using different elements of the application.

Membership Options

Rating
4/5

A basic one-month membership on Jdate costs a total of $59.99. As this may seem a bit too steep for a single month use, it is better to opt for the three-month subscription, which is $44.99. Here, you already have a discount.

There is also a six-month payment that costs $134.97. In my opinion, this is a good deal, because you can send unlimited messages, get your profile highlighted, and enjoy “message read” notifications courtesy of your subscription.

However, if you do not see the need to upgrade your membership, you can still make the most of your Jdate experience using your free account.

The Bottom Line

With all said and done, Jdate offers a dating platform that you will not find anywhere else – one that is led by religion and strives to meet you at your point of dating needs in the right way.

Although users from other religions may be a little skeptical about finding a match on a Jewish platform, I’m here to set the record straight by saying that you can sign up to Jdate and have unforgettable moments, even if you are not Jewish.

All you need is a little open-mindedness and a lot of patience. In no time at all, you will find your perfect match.
