But due to the popularity of online dating apps, there is a lot less friction in the online dating market. This means that a nice but not special Jewish boy knows he has tons of options because of all of the matches he sees every day on Tinder or JSwipe. A common thing I hear as a matchmaker is that people would prefer to just 'wait' until the right guy comes along.
It's not because he's Jewish, it's just you
But here's the thing -- with this big of a gender imbalance, it is very likely that this 'right' guy will never come along. Dating, like anything else, is a market. The more options guys have, the pickier they become. Basically, with the Jewish guy as a rare commodity, a guy who is a 5 can date a woman who is a 6 -- or even a 7 or 8. So a totally fine and smart Jewish woman may stay on the market a very long time, unless she's willing to 'settle' for a guy of 'lesser' dating value. So, that's my schpiel. Dating is hard, and dating is especially hard for Jewish women in NY.
But rather than kvetching, use this knowledge to make more informed dating decisions.

But it was nice to have it organized in a book. A very informative and surprisingly funny book about interfaith dating! An essential guide for anyone dating or marrying into a jewish family. Great book filled with very helpful and insightful information about Judaism, beliefs, and culture. I have been married to a Jew for 19 years and this book still taught me so much. I just wish the book had gone that extra step of discussing how interfaith couples work towards a successful relationship. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase.
