Jews are for sale …

So hopefully no one read that headline and overreacted! Well, Jews aren’t quite for sale but for those of you don’t know, I’m helping Frumster.com sell itself. Frumster is the largest Orthodox Jewish Dating Site in the world and the second largest dating website behind Jdate. Why is the company for the sale? The current owner got ADD and started a new company and realized he can’t run both so Frumster is on the block. Why am I helping? Well, while I’m not orthodox now, I was for 7 years and went to an orthodox school, Yeshivah of Flatbush in good ole’ Brooklyn for 12 years. None of my old classmates or teachers would believe that I would be involved with this and I have a business card that says “Chief Matchmaking Officer” - how cool is that? What am I really doing? Helping Ben hold an auction for the company so I get to play investment banker (I always wanted to be an ibanker when I was little).  I suppose I am match making the company and deserve the title. Either way, it’s a fun thing and it’s pretty cool to learn the insides of a dating business. Some of the stories are the wall, maybe i’ll post a few in the future.PS. Stay Tuned for BIG NEWS about my own venture. Richie

    Hey RH, Hello back to Apr08, and in Aug08 Ben R. confirmed an interest in selling Frumster and JWed…..what about now? There seems to be an effort by the Frumster Admin to upgrade the site, make it more user friendly. IFF a sale to JDate were effected, keeping it a FRUM matchmaking service, the advantage would be the greater exposure for the few thousand Frumsterites, increased membership w viral marketing that comes w media exposure, and more chances of success for the hundred frum JDaters and for all.

    I would like to see more erudite, elevated//ing inspirational articles on the site….see some of K.Adam’s Forum posts for an idea of what I mean. Best, rae ‘man
