METROCHAI is more than a dating site. It is a universe of culture, heritage, entertainment, exploding life, amusement, learning and even adventures. It has it all. Meaning, everything a cosmopolitan person needs to know about the multiple and intriguing facets of the world of dating. And it is fun too.

We had a nice chat with Gabriel Ahdoot. This handsome Iranian Israeli American International flamboyant businessman knows a lot about dating. Meaning he knows a lot about women. He told the World Jewish News Agency : "Of course, Jewish women from New York are very different from their counterparts in California. They dress differently, they walk faster, they are more demanding, they expect the best, including fine dining, savoir-faire and a very high standard of etiquette." Are they more fun than other Jewish women from other states, we asked Ahdoot. "Of course, many of them are extremely successful. They lead their own business and make a lot of money. I know that for a fact. They subscribed to our site. Besides the expensive life of New York makes a successful Jewish woman very demanding and not so easy to handle.

Jewish men are different. They are more easy-going and have this "laisser faire" attitude, a sort of a blaze nonchalant character." Would an expert on dating like Ahdoot recognize a Jewish princess without talking to her? "Of course, I can spot a Jewish woman at 10 miles. Jewish women have a particular aura, a very special cache. Some are like Bette Middler and Mae West, others like Lauren Bacall and Golda Meir. You better be sophisticated, well-mannered and willing to dine them and wine them "a la granda", first class." How about dating non-Jewish women? Ahdot has some reservations. "I  respect all religions. People are people and you should treat everybody with dignity and respect.

But, down the road, you have stop and think about family, I mean your children. The children you are going to have one day. Are they going to be Jewish or non-Jewish?

If you marry a Jewish woman, you will never have an argument with your wife about the Jewish way of life, the Judaic faith, the Jewish traditions, the Jewish Family Values your children will embrace or follow. Because both of you are Jewish. But if your wife is not Jewish, then expect lots of arguments, possible confrontations and disharmony in your conjugal relations. No, I prefer to date and marry a Jewish woman. "

Ahdoot is a pragmatic thinker and an adventurer. He so eloquently talks about family values, successful dating techniques and conformity with Judaic traditions. But in the same token, he loves to spend money, go out, open up an expensive bottle of wine, schmooze and cruise and burn the world around a sensual or intellectual conversation and let you forget the troubles of the day. And you will sense this  when you explore his dating site. You will love METROCHAI.

It is more than fun. It is super fun and a delightful learning and exploring experience. Rating: 5 stars out of five. METROCHAI is highly recommended. One of the 10 best Jewish dating sites on the face of the earth. Go for it!
