Go Israeli folkdancing. There are evenings all over the city, almost 7 days a week. Ton's of Jewish men, and some of them are actually dateable. Lessons usually preceede the actual dance evening. It it a lot of fun and great exercise. Jeffrey jeffrey@xemaps.com

I am an on/off member of Jdate and have been for quite some time. I haven't met the man of my dreams but I've got some CLASSIC stories and met a couple of really good guys, some of whom are still my friends. I'll look forward to catching up with you on your quest. As for those of you who question her desire to meet only Jews.... the thing you need to realize is that most of us have not dated solely within our religion. However, in this pool of dating we live in, at least these people are OUR people and it's likely we know people in common. That's just the way Jews roll.

oh man. my mother pressured me to join JDate and even purchased a membership for me. I put up a profile... i felt like such a shlub doing it... I felt like i have completely different sensibilities than most of the people i come across on that site... ...and i guess it was true. No luck... no love... two bad dates with usy'ers from the valley who thought I was bonkers taking them to Paru for dinner... oh well... best of luck...

Why not date people who aren't Jewish? If some white chick told me that she doesn't mind dating anyone, but "if white, all the better!" I'd smile that smile. The "okaaaay" smile.

I've dated many non Jews, in fact, mostly non Jews, its just an experiment.

I second Doug. Perhaps your dating horizons might be less constrictive if you didn't make them... exclusive. Goy boys abound that wouldn't kick a Jewish girl out of bed or their lives, speaking from personal experience. I spent two years in Israel dating a woman who I might call one of my more favorite ex's, and I still don't regret it. That said I think I understand the mindset enough to know why you would want to date a Jewish guy so I don't blame you, but consider that if you ever met Mr. Right and he happened to be Goy, your kids would still be Jewish. Something to think about.

You wouldn't want to date a gentile; heaven forbid, right?

My mother is about 70 and has used JDate to try and meet men her age. Without exception every one of the men she's had dinner with has been in his 80's and lied about his age, hair, you name it.

I just met a 26 year old 'Jewess" who met her fiance on JDate. Good luck!!

Good luck. Like you, I am a nice Jewish girl with a penchant for tortured, tattooed artist types. A few years ago, when I was almost exactly your age, I too posted a profile on Jdate. I did it as a lark, but I was very clear that I was an atheist. I made it clear what I wanted out of a relationship: fun, friendship, possible LTR. I made it clear what I was looking for in a partner: artistic, intelligent, sense of humor, cute, within my age range. What kind of replies did I get? Retarded emails from balding, middle-aged, accountants living in the Valley. Seriously. They were usually a decade older and reading their profiles, they seemed to share none of my interests. It was like... did you even read my ad?! I have no interest in being your Insta-Jewess Bride and popping out a passel of Moishes and Shlomos. If there ARE hot, artsy Jew boys in LA (and they must be somewhere!), they weren't hanging around JDate last time I checked. Good luck in your experiences. I look forward to reading them. PS-Maybe it's just the Jewish guys I've dated, but they really do seem to have small cocks. :( :( :( Any thoughts on this?
