Frumster, Inc. (JWed)Reviews of jwed.com

I'm going to review using this account because I'm using this to review all dating/hookup sites, and unfortunately that's what JWed has degraded to. When I started using it, it actually came across as a decent site to meet Orthodox/observant Jews. Their pricing model is terrible though just like other sites - they let you create a profile for free and then you find you can't actually do much but you see profiles you want to contact so you pay the standard fee and you can then send messages to them, but as they haven't paid, they can't reply. So essentially you're paying money to send messages to people who won't respond to them. So they want you to take out an even higher membership. No doubt you'll get "hit upon" by interested women in the USA miles away. They used to have forums with many men complaining about the same thing - women never reply to their messages. Any dating site that tells you who has viewed your profile needs to know that's a very bad policy. Viewing someone's profile does not mean you want to meet them - wait until the person has viewed the profile and shown an interest to let you know - so nobody needs to be told. Worst of all, the started bringing in "swiping". I mean, really??? Keep that kind of thing for goyish sites, you're supposed to find your match by compatible hashgafa and life interests, not "pretty face" which is often simply a matter of "photoshopping" ones main profile picture. It gets 2 stars rather than 1 because I did actually get to meet 3 people from the site. Of course, all those people were interested in whether I'd marry them - oh well it is called "J-Wed". So just trying to meet people to date who keep Shabbat and kosher is not something useful really. The one I met who was pretty, where we got on well before we met and not that badly during the meet itself, and then decided to start "ghosting" me shows the kind of mentality of the women who use the site though.
