A little-published aspect of the JDate situation is that JDate has the hardest time building up the critical mass to *work* in the very communities that seek it most-- places where it is hard to meet other Jews.

In my part of the country, JDate has had the same seven men for the past five years. Seriously. Which means the female JDaters in this city have all dated and given up on the same seven guys. Twice I've watched women newly introduced to one another sit down and start small talk over, "So, you JDate? Well, what did you think of so-and-so?"
