Jewish women are known to be the caretakers of their family. Jewish mothers are very caring and protective. They tend to be involved in their children's lives even after they grow up and get settled. They are overprotective and cautious about their family's wellbeing. In short, Jewish women make great family women. And if while dating a Jewish girl, she talks about getting married, it is entirely reasonable, but you should answer that question carefully.

Jewish women are stereotyped as materialistic, demanding, and selfish, which is, of course, not true. The condition of the Jewish women a few decades ago was not as good as it is now. Jewish women had to face inequality in education, employment, and marriage. This inequality and injustice created a rebellious nature in the minds of women, which made them self-caring, protective, and selfish. But, the situation has changed immensely, and now the Jewish women are one of the most amiable, and liberal women in the world.

Best Places to Meet Girls

Firstly, let us talk about Jerusalem. Being the capital of Israel and one of the most popular tourist spots in the world, Jerusalem has a lot of spots to find single girls. The popularity of the spots and the chances to pick up girls in these spots may vary based on the day and the time of your visit.

Tips for Nighttime

Talking about Jerusalem, the nightlife of Jerusalem is all about bars and clubs. The Old City of Jerusalem is closed down during the night unless some cultural events are going on. Therefore, you need to spend the time during the night around the city center only. In the narrow streets of Zion Square, you will find some of the best bars in the city located in old architecture style buildings, which presents a great contrast between modern bars and the old-style buildings. The Machane Yehuda Market is another popular nightlife spot which has some good bars with similar backdrops like that of the Zion Square.

The nightlife of Tel Aviv also revolves around bars and clubs, but the design and ambiance are slightly different. The buildings are more modern and look more premium. The best areas for enjoying the nightlife in Tel Aviv are:

  • Kerem Hateimanim
  • Nave Sha'anan

  • Tel Aviv Port Market

During the night time, you can pick up girls in the bars and a few nightclubs in the areas mentioned above. You can meet a lot of girls in these bars, both tourists and local Israeli women. To pick up girls in these bars, you have to be assertive and confident in approach. During the nighttime, you should focus a lot on your dressing and looks. Israeli girls are assertive and might pick up guys on their own. The first criteria on which they will judge you is your appearance. You should be wearing semi-formal party clothes that should neither look to formal nor too sporty. A simple hack is to prefer dark clothes. Another important tip is to apply a pleasant fragrance. A good scent is a prominent impression builder.

RatingNighttime Chance of hooking up at nighttime: 4 / 5

Chance of picking up girls during the nighttime is comparatively higher than the daytime. Many naughty women and horny females visit nightclubs and bars to pick up guys to have sex and enjoy. You can also pick up girls for long-term dating as well, but most of the women visiting these clubs are looking for casual hookups or a casual relationship. If your first priority is foreign tourists, you should probably spend more nights in Jerusalem. If local Israeli girls are your priority, you should spend more time in Tel Aviv. Nevertheless, both places are equally good for the night game.

Since time in your destination may be limited, get to know each other’s desires beforehand so when you do meet, you can skip the awkward introductions and start having some real fun.

Top Dating Tips

If you have managed to get in touch with a local Israeli girl, got her contact details and have decided to meet, or simply are going on a date, you should be very cautious. The first date may turn out to be your last date if you mess things up. So, to make the most out of your first date, you need to follow some dating tips. First and foremost, never be late. Being on time gives a good first impression that you are a punctual guy who is genuinely interested in her. Your dressing should be on point. If a girl is on a date with you, she will notice every detail about you. Never forget to dress well, and most importantly put a good perfume.

When you meet her on the date, your hug should be warm and appropriate, without any impression of pervertedness. While hugging, your palms should softly touch her upper back and nowhere else. Don't try hugging her tightly, or touching her at inappropriate parts. This gives an impression that you are genuinely interested in her, and are not just looking to have sex with her. Although your ultimate aim might be to get laid but showing some patience, and respect will increase your chances to get laid. A compliment also helps in creating a better foundation for your date.

Don't go without a gift. If you have no idea about what you should give, flowers will work as well. If meeting in a restaurant, let her order first. Always request her to order first until she forces you to order. Let her start eating first, and then you eat. Always pay the bill. At the end of the date, give her a warm hug and say, "Thanks for coming; it was a great experience." These small things may not sound vital, but they help a lot.

Moreover, guys who have a good fashion sense, and dress according to the situation are also liked by the Jewish women.

In Jerusalem, guys who manage to get a hotel on, or near Zion Square will have a better chance than those who are living far from Zion Square or the central part of the city. The location matters because Zion square is the most popular spot in Jerusalem during the nighttime with a lot of good nightclubs, bars, and restaurants. Living near Zion Square gives you instant access to these places where you can visit easily and quickly. People living far from the central part have to take public transport to reach Zion Square and nearby areas. Similarly, in Tel Aviv, guys who manage to get a hotel in Neve Tzedek, Kerem Hateimanim, or Nave Sha'anan have a better chance to find naughty women.

Another essential aspect is reading signals. If a girl is interested in you, she will give you signals. Guys who are good at interpreting the signals have a better chance than those who are not good at it. An excellent way to improve this is by reading on the internet about signs from a woman, their meaning, and how to react accordingly. Understanding, and responding to the signals can save you a lot of time and effort while looking for a hookup.
