What about a Christian one? Or one devoted to members of a particular ethnic group? I mean after all, we all look (or looked) for certain traits and characteristics in a mate that were important to us? Aren't religion and ethnicity important?

Personally, I think they are. After all, one's religious faith is often very important to one's sense of self, and compatibility. Why shouldn't there be a dating service that helps one "screen out" those who don't share that very important characteristic? Now I'm not talking about some sort of discriminatory program based upon superiority -- simply assistance in finding someone who is compatible.

So take my question about a Jewish dating service? offering classifications based upon such important issues as religious values and ethnic heritage is a very positive thing in my book. After all, these commonalities can be the very glue that hold a relationship together. It is certainly better than the old "looking for a red-head who likes cogs and long walks on the beach, doesn't it? It is likely that a shared set of beliefs is a much stronger cement than "what's your sign, baby", isn't it?

That is why so dating services have gotten much more scientific in their services for matching folks up. We see in-depth surveys about attitudes and backgrounds designed to help make matches more precise. And if such services operate in a manner that are non-discriminatory, I think the specialization is all for the good.
