What is JDaters Anonymous?
What is JDaters Anonymous?
JDaters Anonymous is a community of new singles, old singles, former singles and singles sympathizers of all faiths and perspectives. Hosted as an internet parlour meeting by Esther Kustanowitz, JDA provides a safe space for kvetching within reason, ranting without hatred, and support with no questions asked. OK, so there might be a few questions asked. And the management prefers civil discourse to angry, personal attacks. So, although we occasionally derail into more primal states of mean girls and stupid boys, for the most part, we’re all adults here. Or at least we want to be when we grow up.
So is it only about JDate?
Not even remotely. It started because friends had all these stories from being in the dating trenches, but felt utterly alone. JDaters Anonymous is a resounding “me too!” to people for whom dating is not Cosmos and Manolos.
So what’s the J for?
Jeez, you are persistent. Yes, the J stands for Jewish. And lots of the people who comment here are Jewish. But we get a fair number of people here who are non-Semitic. (Which is not the same as anti-Semitic, some of whom also visit from time-to-time. That’s right, we’re that open a community.) And all are welcome here, because this ain’t no Hasidic shul.
It is true many people are just playing the games using somebody else’s photos or posting the multiple profiles.While I was writing research paper about the Internet dating, I have read a lot about this. Personally, I never had success using the on-line dating. Many people are there just for games. On the other hand, some members are posting their high income figures (possibly fake) and huge list of completed degrees including Ph.D. No wonder, they will not even bother to look on former automotive repair tech, who is grinding into the bachelor’s degree while working as industrial engineer. To be objective, the women who were watching my profile were mostly single mothers with teenage kids.

yeah-i’ve read a great book on getting to the bottom of having relationship
with eyes wide open. this book is called: efficient love by robert goodman
it is truly a no BS, wax/wane, and “i think i know what i want-but i won’t
clearly convey so to myself-so that other people are clear about us-from
my side of things-in the bargain”
this guy is so serious as to form a domain around inviting and tracking in
who’s visited his site, inticing a great partner-and in the last 3 years-she
hit the site-and him wedded not too long after
with the way that most ways to try and get contact with people to date
toward mating-not working, i find that this book IS the most serious
to help anyone into having the best relationship EVER. period
pick it up online (‘only way to purchase it)
