Short Description
|
: |
is a dating site whose mission is to comfortably bring Jewish singles together. It is a small site with an average number (25) of people online at rush hour. caters to professionals who are looking for companionship, a true partner in life and family. This is not the hippest site out there, so if you're looking for more than some safe mingling with like-minded online daters, may not be the Jewish dating site for you; but, on the other hand, if you're tired of being coy and cute and edgy, is a good place to "mingle" and be real about what you're looking for in a relationship, not just what your favorite sex scene in a film is or what lurks in your bedroom.

Overall Rating
|
: |
is a good venue to take the online dating plunge in, especially if you are looking for mature people to meet and date in the Jewish faith. itself doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, so it's simple to navigate and the profiles are focused on what people are really looking for in a long term relationship which is definitely the focus of the site and experience. The profiles are generally brief and because it's a smaller venue, it's easy to quickly connect with people and feel like a big fish in a small pond. does not offer up editorial content or clever catch phrases and photos of the day, but there are message board posts and chat rooms, including a "Dear Abby" section for advice.

Jewish Mingles Dating Service Review |
| |
|
The Company
|
: |
Mingles.com matchmaking network is the personals engine that powers .
|
|
Site Navigation
|
: |
is easy enough to navigate, but not a lot there. Take the time to dig into the "color code" test; it is an essential part of the personal profiles, as it breaks people into four different colors (blue, red, white and yellow), which helps match people by their most basic wants and desires based on childhood instincts.

Site Response Speed

: |
Fast
|
|
Sign-Up Process
|
: |
has a free trial which includes a free photo personal profile, photo album, browsing and matching. This is a great way to get your feet wet and it's a simple process to get going. As a guest member to , you can only browse profiles and photos though; you cannot contact other members. Signing up to become an actual member is also an easy going experience. Though it does require a credit card, is reasonably priced. You can sign up for a month for under 15 bucks.

Breadth of Services

caters to mature Jewish singles looking for a real connection. It offers a comfortable environment in which to do this and definitely does not offer a lot of distractions, so one can really hone in on what they are looking for in a partner.

|
User Base

offers up nice profiles filled with people who are looking for like-minded daters who have a good heart, are done playing games and either want to settle down and have kids or want to share their kids or life with a partner.
|
|
User Experience

: |
' profiles are very straight forward, targeting daters who are at a point in their lives they know what they don't want! definitely encourages Jewish men and women who share a common faith and want to build a relationship together.

Registration Options
|
: |
Dr. Taylor Hartman's color code test based on his book The Color Code, an international best seller (that is recognized for its simplicity and accuracy in understanding the unique complexities of human behaviors), is a great addition to (and you can take the test without joining the site). It's an interesting premise to really look at your self again as a dater or someone looking for a real relationship. It encourages people to drop the dating "baggage" and just look at themselves again as a child and what made them tick.

Long Description
|
: |
is a great place to get your feet wet if you've been out of the dating game or aren't feeling comfortable venturing out into the online dating world! offers up some great profiles with like-minded people who are mature and interested in really making a connection.
Customize your personals ad with essays
has optional essay sections so you can elaborate on who you are and what you're looking for, but you don't have to take it that far either. The basic profile offers up the usual questions, such as, "How would you best describe yourself?" and "Which outdoor activity are you most interested in?" and "In which setting do you prefer to live?" ' questions admittedly might not garner the most compelling conclusions, but again it is a simple way to get back in touch with the online dating realm.
limits ability to get to know matches via profiles
That said, does not offer a lot of ways to express oneself, except the color code test. is fairly impersonal so you have to rely on making your own way through it to find a true connection. The icons are easy to read and includes ecards, smiles, favorites, live chats and a detailed search engine that matches you with your potential mates.
serves as a place to meet and greet other online daters
is a very basic Jewish dating site, as are the photo gallery and features. In general, there is no bling or added extras, just a place to meet and greet online. is simple enough to sign up and check out, not so simple if you do miss those clever questions, "What was your most humbling moment," etc.
