Being a single Jew in the post-Wargames computer age I've had my share of experiences with JDate. While most of them have left me wanting to start dating shiksas again, there have been a few good ones.

Although the women on JDate may range from Unaffiliated to Conservadox, their profiles seem to share certain traits, qualities, and catchphrases, which I've compiled below. Please feel free to add any you think I may have missed.

1. Couldn't live without TIVO and/or Netflix.

2. Likes to work hard and play hard.

3. Has an East Coast mentality, but starting to appreciate L.A. -- not to fret... they still have that East Coast wit (ie. Sarcasm).

4. Perfect first date would be anywhere they can really get to know someone, possibly drinks or dinner. It would end with the anticipation of the second date.

5. Friendship and family are very important, but still value independence.

6. Cannot believe they are doing this, but is giving it a shot, because friend found her true love on the site.

7. Clever screenname with Jewish pun (Challahbackatme, uthrowlikemybubbe, etc.)

8. As comfortable in jeans and t-shirt as they are dressing up for a night on the town.

9. Loves animals. (usually includes photo with her darling dog/cat/chinchilla).

10. Occupation: Production/Development
