Reviews of JDate

I have been a paying member of Jdate for about 2 months now and have to say it has been worthwhile. I have met a handful of attractive women. Now keep in mind I am divorced with kids and I am looking for the same so I must fit a sweet spot or something. I am an average to upper-average looking guy. Note to other guys..don't send a flirt on this site..actually spend 2 minutes reading a profile and send an email about it.

Zero Stars. Most of my matches had not logged on in over 60 days! You would think a guy in his late forties with a fairly large age range highlighted for a match, many more matches would be current users.

Jdate is the worst most bogus site out there. The majority of the members( females), all lie about their Age, Weight, Personalities, Who they really are, and Especially their photos which are in most cases anywhere from 5 - 15 years old, It's freaking disgusting how many wafted dates I have gone on. The caliber of people, especially the women , is so sub par, they are divorced, damaged, fat and lazy women who are only looking for a meal ticket, a lot are bi- polar , manic depressive , hooked on pain pills, xanex, and who knows what else! Save your money, time, and stress level, JDATE is a sham, a lot of fake profiles, non - Jewish members, and a lot of " Nigeria Scam Artists" soliciting. They should be put out of business, their customer service reps are nasty, rude, and ignorantly unqualified.......Don't Waste Your Time, JDATE SUCKS!!!!! Nn

This site is despicable! As a site that's supposed to introduce people to meet their possible significant other they have a unique dilemma. The longer their clients are members the longer they pay and the more money the site makes. I have met women that were paid by jdate as models. This has wasted over a decade of my life that no matter how much money I make I can never get those years back. I implore you if you're considering being a member to reconsider It's a viscous cycle that you'll ultimately regret....

JDate (the actual website) frequently fails to perform as promised. Their customer service is horrible. And this is the first time in my life I encountered a company that refuses to allow dissatisfied customers to have their complaint escalated to a customer service supervisor. Its simply amazing! And their T&C essentially say that you pay no matter how much they fail to perform, and regardless of whether or not they make a sincere effort to fix customer problems. Worse yet this site is owned by Spark Networks which is a public company trading on the stock market as LOV. Daters and investors should both be very weary - this company has zero concern for customer well being.

If I could give this 0 stars I would. I have subscribed to Jdate twice in the past and have met no one. I let my subscription expire (and was not renewed thank goodness).

I received a notification in my email three days ago that some guy had emailed me and flirted with me. I couldnt view it since I dont subscribe anymore.

Went to post in my profile my email address (a tertiary one that I check once in while, one I created specifically for this type of situation not my email address that I have connected to my phone), get an email back from the so-called profile team telling me that due to privacy issues my change could not be done and that in order to email someone I had to subscribe.

BS to that, I then erased the entire profile and was told that I HAVE to have something there. I just left a bunch of ........ there. If they want to play that game, I wont deal with them.

Stay away. Stay far far far away.

They have this bad policy of renewing your membership automatically for the highest price possible. Even if you had a good deal before.
It's very difficult to cancel it, their is no option to cancel it online and your basically stuck with them even if your already married with kids.

I WOULD NEVER TRUST THEM WITH MY CREDIT CARD.

The customer service is rude and unfriendly. They will charge you triple and there is no way you can get any refund for their rip off.

I do not recommend Jdate as an on line service at all!!

OVERCHARGED credit card. Never credited monies owed. Never responded to emails or returned calls......keep "stale" profiles listed of persons who are no longer members to appear as if there is a large community.
ALL ABOUT MONEY & ZERO SERVICE!!!!!!
Save your time & $$$..you will be grossly disappointed...

I first subsribed to Jdate as a free member in 2002 in Vancouver, Canada. But being new in town, I didn't have a clue how and where to meet people, and it was important for me that they were Jewish, preferably secular and preferably of Russian descent. JDate provided a perfect way of seeing what was "on the market". I had spoken to a few guys, and had a few dates, and then went to a party, which was organised by JDate. There I met a guy, who I had already been on a date with, and that party kicked off a relationship in which I was for over a year within a couple of weeks of joining. So I had a good experience with JDate then.

That relationship broke down due to JDate-unrelated issues, and I moved to the UK. Here after a very complex divorce in 2008, I decided to join JDate again, mainly to boost my self-esteem, and to have some fun. I did manage to do that, however, my "looking for fun" very frequently didn't coincide with the very serious intentions of men, who seemed to be interested in me. They were mostly very educated, well-established, intelligent, good-looking men, and interested in long-term relationships, who for some reason were not scared off by my very honest profile. I did realise that not many got past my pictures and didn't read my profile, so a few were surprised by some of the facts of my circumsatnces at the time, if we got to a stage of discussing them. I found that JDate is a very targetted site, and has plently of very high quality candidates, who are looking for long-term relationships, if you are living in a geographic area with quite a high Jewish population, but don't go to any Jewish functions, where you would meet them, JDate is the place where you would see who is currently single (if they are honest). I found that it was not really suitable if you are just looking "to have fun", as at some point you will get a reputation, as Jews talk, and everybody eventually knows each other somehow. I quit Jdating at that point for about a year, until I was ready for something more serious.

I went back in 2009 and met my fiancee on there. He was on JDate on and off for years, and had a couple of relationships with women that he met on there. Obviously none as wonderful as me, but still... But we met on there at the right time of our lives, and there was absolutely no way that we would have met in any other way, as we didn't have any of the same circles. Both him and me were very honest in our profiles, and when we met (the following day after chatting on IM and phone for a couple of hours the night before), we didn't have any unpleasant surprises - we both were exactly what we said.

We have been together for over 3 years, and hopefully will be together for many more. And how much it cost (him, as I remained a free member) doesn't matter, as it got us together.
