Jews, Dating, and Digits
Jews need love too– but some sure do have a funny way of going about finding it.
In Times Square hangs a huge billboard advertising JDate, a jewish-only online dating service. It’s like match.com, but for Jews.
Singles create profiles to describe themselves, their perfect date, and what they expect out of a relationship. They include pictures, yiddish phrases, and statistics including religious denomination and astrological sign to woo potential mates. Though users are asked for a user name, many men and women opt to use their unique serial numbers, a number assigned during signup, in lieu of a name to identify themselves.
Let’s read that again.
Though users are asked for a user name, many men and women opt to use their unique serial numbers, a number assigned during signup, in lieu of a name to identify themselves.
To boot, user numbers are unique, assigned, and permanent. You’d think for a cultural group so greatly affected by the holocaust, certain members would be more aware of the irony.
At least you can change your phone number.

Notes: The author identifies culturally as Jewish. The author is not on JDate. Friends of the author, over dinner, noted that it was hard to remember girls that used JDate-assigned numbers instead of user names. The author remarked how funny that seemed in historical contexts. Laughter ensued. Promises were made to produce a blog post. The author makes no apology.
More: Spark Networks (LOV), the parent company of JDate, uses the same technology for other niche dating sites such as aptly-named Interracial Singles, Big Beautiful Woman Personals Plus, and Indian Matrimonial Network. These names are so wonderfully descriptive.
Oy vey!

there is that whole thing about the Hebrew alphabet having a number assigned to each letter and “Gematria” etc… although that’s getting pretty close to cabbala bracelets
I’m just looking for a nice Jewish girl who likes children and is able to be supportive of my obsessive shark hunt. (I’m shark_h8r on JDate)
When people (guys) ask me if I like children, I say ’sure, they’re great with bbq sauce’.
Guess that’s not the answer they wanted to hear.
Actually, something like 11% of J-Date is non-Jewish individuals seeking Jewish partners. Clearly, someone wants to choose the Chosen.

That was so funny and ironic. I came across a ridiculous story on http://dating-sites-portal.blogspot.com/ about phantom profiles being prevalent on these dating sites. Hope not to put anyone off. lol
