Reviewed and Recommended Canadian Matchmakers

WHAT WE FOUND: Interracial Match is a specialty dating service for people that are comfortable crossing the racial divide in their friends and dating partners. We like the fast membership form and the basic features that free members can access: searching for a member in your local area and being able to reply to messages from gold members for free. You can also participate in the forums, read other members blogs, add comments and create your own blog and upload pictures of yourself with your profile. The forum is also quite active and ready for you to add your comments on the topics of the day. Upgraded gold members have access to many more features that include advanced searching for other members in any location, sending messages to any member, and an advanced member page that includes notes on who has visited your profile, top listing in search results, a larger photo album for your pictures, and the option of hiding your profile from those that don’t match your preferences or from all members and keep your profile private for showing to only those members you allow.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: The options offered at Interracial Match are designed to make the service fun to use. Although gold members will have the best results in searching for interesting members to meet, free members have enough use of the site to make Interracial Match a worthwhile service to join.

WHAT WE FOUND: This is a free to join and member’s service by one of the largest online personals groups, Friend Finder. Your free membership allows you to place your ad, send instant messages and browse the profiles. Join for free (you’ll need to retrieve your password from the email address you use to sign up with before you can login) you’ll be surprised at how many replies you get from people that are Jewish and are looking for someone that shares their faith for a relationship. Safe and secure, you’ll like your membership options that allow you to reply to messages, post additional pictures of yourself and chat with other members. Voice and video ads are coming soon. Jewish only personals, online magazine featuring relevant articles for Jewish people. Be sure to post your picture with your ad, you’ll receive a lot more replies to your ad when you have a good picture of yourself with your profile. Searches are fast and easy to find the type of person you want to meet. We really like the browse feature that allows you to see how many profiles are posted for different states and provinces (America and Canada) and all other areas of the world by country.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Free to join, varying levels of paid memberships with different contact options. Online Jewish interest magazine. Straight and same sex personals for Jewish people only.

WHAT WE FOUND: Joining JLove.com is a fast process starting you off with only the basic information needed to be added to your profile. But to make the service work for you, you need to complete the advanced section of your profile first, the partner preferences section, before trying to contact other members. So, once you have received your verification email you can proceed to complete your profile and start sending “Icebreakers” to members that interest you that are within your preferences for contacting members. If you receive a message saying that you cannot contact a certain member you’ll have to update your compatibility preferences to be sure that they are within the choices you have made. It’s a little cumbersome but this helps you to focus on the members that really are similar to your desired match. We like the information provided by the member profile pages including that a member is online, where they are located and more information in the profile (when completed by the member) than most other services allow you to see. On your own personal profile page we like the links that allow you to browse new members profiles as well as a separate link that will shoe you new members that are in your area and other interactions such as who has sent you messages, Icebreakers, and even viewed your profile. You have control over the availability of your profile so if you want to take a break from the mass of messages you receive you can simply hide your profile. To make JLove work be sure to complete your profile! Included features are an online magazine called ‘Kismet’, a chat room that gets you right into the conversations, fast and easy searches and the best feature, bookmarking other members by sending them “Icebreakers” to show your interest. We really like as well, the “See more like her/him” link offered on member profile pages so you can skip the searches once you have found a member and just start clicking the “See more like her/him” link to browse more quickly profiles of members. The service is for heterosexual people of the Jewish faith, of the different religious backgrounds and ethnicities.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND: Fast free membership starts you off browsing and searching profiles quickly. Paid memberships allow you to send and respond to emails, chat and use the Instant Messenger. This service works best when you are prepared to complete the majority of your profile and the preferences that you desire in a match. Be sure to have a picture ready to add to your profile, you’ll receive many more “Icebreakers” and messages from other members. The service is for straight Jewish members only.
