JewishMingle.com - Jewish Mingle Dating Site
Greeting users with a hearty ‘shalom', JewishMingle.com is a website that offers a variety of social and dating services to all people of the Jewish faith. Signing up is fast and easy, consisting of just two pages of information that you have to fill out in order to be registered with the site. You're asked the standard round of questions: birthday, height, body type, eye and hair color, education spoken languages, occupation, smoking and drinking habits, marital status, status of children, etc. You're also asked to provide what denomination of the Jewish faith you belong to. You have the option of having your profile highlighted on your birthday, a little gift the site offers to all members who only have to tick a check box. Once you've filled out the quick info, you're asked to write a brief description of who you are and who you're looking to meet. There's a quick disclaimer that there is to be no sexually oriented or profane material in your profile or in your communication on the site, and then you're registered.
Once registered with the site, you can immediately begin using the search functions, build your profile a little more, or use some of the community features. The basic search is based on keywords, distance, age, and gender. You can also view recently updated profiles, see who is online, use a “Think You'd Click?” feature that anonymously samples the other person's interest in you, use one of two photo based searches (one that randomly pulls up photos, another that collates them into galleries), search by username, today's birthday, and of course, the advanced search, which allows you to search by the basic parameters of someone's profile.
On that note, the previously mentioned advanced profile building is full of options and opportunity to drum up more interest in your personal ad. The first part is a text field that allows you to enter in a more in depth description, and the rest of the page is full of sections that ask your views on certain genres of entertainment (i.e. music, movies, outdoor activities, other hobbies and interests), along with text fields after each question to let you specify your favorite bands, actors, etc. There's also questions about your punctuality, whether or not you're trendy, as well as your ideas of a great trip, good food, political leaning, and a text field for more in depth background on your education.
Photos for your JewishMingle.com profile can be uploaded through the site, emailed (for people with slower connections), or even sent through the post to be uploaded by the friendly staff. All photos must be of you, modestly clothed, and most show you distinctly – no bikini pictures or non-personal images are allowed. Most pictures will be approved and hosted on the site within a 48 hour period after your submission, unless you mailed them in, in which case the upload is dependent on the length of mail time.
Other features on JewishMingle.com include a Match Preferences section where you can pre-determine who you want to find, as well as who you want to find you. These preferences can be shown on your profile, and compatible matches can be emailed to you. You can also fill out a Color Code personality test, and see who's compatible with you based on that.
Paid members on JewishMingle.com have the ability to send and receive emails to other members, can use instant messaging, create e-cards, use the message boards, and also have the ability to review people who have viewed their profile. There are different payment plans based on how long you want to keep a membership on the website.
Overall JewishMingle.com provides a positive and safe dating environment for anyone of the Jewish faith. The website is welcoming and easy to use, and is replete with features that make finding the right guy or gal as easy as just clicking the mouse a few times.
