Reply To: Dating websites

WIY: LOL. I was actually thinking it could be misunderstood as a website used to date things… date as in time.

Mercury: Thanks for your thoughtful response!

I wonder why no good yeshivish boy would put themselves on. I guess they are busy enough. I personally see it as a way to widen the pool (I don’t mind MO Machmir, if they are very frum and have a rav – it’s more important to me than having the yeshivish label.)

Interesting and enlightening comment about disabilities, I will have to watch out for this. Had I known I may not have joined.

SYAS: Interesting that you preface with SYAS is a great site. I also don’t like being unable to search on my own, I would prefer an anonymized profile at least. The shadchanim are also difficult to choose as they don’t seem to have any track record, so you have no idea who is effective. (Honestly, maybe I should get a married friend to become a shadchan on that website, so that I could search from their login.) However, I like that it is more tzanua than Jwed, and having a go-between.

Your futuresimchas story is great, I love the kind of story where in the end the suggestion came from left field!
