H/T Avital Sivan 1) It’s assur (the source is in the Igros Moshe, and somwhere else)2) Most parents don’t let, and if they find out they’ll kill you, you’ll lose all your privileges, it takes years…
Standing in the library at the local community college, a frum friend of mine was struck by the conversation she overheard behind her. “Do you think Stacy’s hot?” One girl asked another. “I think so,” replied the second. “I think…
Being a BT with an immigrant background, I know that I’m better off dating someone from my own community than an “American.” But I keep an open mind, and whether I go for the ger, or go for the gerusha,…
“She’s a wonderful girl, excellent middot,” said my shadchan. “She has a job, comes from a respectable family, and shares your Russian-speaking background.” I’ve heard this line before, so I was already prepared for the downside, the big “but” that…
Dear Heshy, Hi, my name is Wished to remain anonymous. I am a big (not as in size) fan of your Frum Satire blog. I first stumbled on it about a year ago when a friend showed me your posts…
I was going to write this one, but the young lady who authors Frum N’ Flipping sent me this pretty comprehensive list. This is obviously a post written from a more frum perspective and from that of the older (over…
I love mechitzas, I really do, especially the kind that give you a small opportunity to check out the ladies, if you’re clever enough. I don’t like the really short one’s because they don’t provide a challenge and the ladies…
They say that shiksas are for practice but if you really think about it, Modern Orthodox Girls are for practice, at least they are when you enter the world of folks who think that marrying a girl frummer than them…
I have always been attracted to the other. I am a baal teshuva coming from a secular family, a white alum from a mostly minority college in a black neighborhood, an Ashkenazi living in a Bukharian neighborhood, a youngster in…
Someone wants to pay you to go out with older girls. Girls are willing to fly to you so they can date you. You volunteer for chesed projects just to meet girls. You had a professional editor look at your…
The Chrsitians have just realized that hugging may be a little immodest, full frontal hugging that is. Someone just sent me this rap song called “Gimme Dat Christian Side Hug” (watch the video below) which makes me feel for the…
The National Shadchans Association is demanding higher commissions and if those demands aren’t met, they will strike. The National Shadchan Association (NSA) is made up of about 1200 professional Shadchanim. In order to apply, a Shadchan must be married and…
One of the things I like about shidduch dating the most, is the awkwardness. Unlike most normal people, I kind of like those awkward silences when the only sound that can be heard is the crunching of ice or shaking…
As a Latina and now a Jew, I write for both audiences. But a case of writer’s block has gotten me nowhere on an article I was supposed to be writing about interracial dating for a Latino audience weeks ago.…
Best Jewish events for meeting girls, outside of singles communities: Although I hear day and day out about the shidduch crisis, its rare that I actually get to see or meet single girls outside of large singles communities. When I…
I don’t do well on the Upper West Side. Now, I know what you’re thinking- you’re asking yourself how it could be possible that a man like me isn’t the toast of the town over there in the epicenter of…
The term open minded means something completely different when you are talking to frum people about shiduchim, it doesn’t actually mean that someone is open minded, it usually means that they found something about the girl or girls family different…
I love the high holidays, not because I get to repent for sins and feel even worse after repenting because God knows I lied, and not because of all the girls I pick up at Yizkor and not even because…
I never thought about it much before, but it seems that the best time to hit on girls at shul is at Yizkor, their parents are usually inside and you can have pick up lines like – “both my parents…
Growing up, I thought obsessing about hair was a “Dominican thing.” Later, I found out it was also a “black thing.” And after converting to Judaism, I realized it was also a “Jewish thing.” I can remember back to a…
I use Facebook and google to check up on potential dates, but honestly who doesn’t? Seriously this used to be a shady stalkerish tactic, but times have changed my friends, and internet back round checks are the way of the…
We cant have you over because we have daughters is a classic scenario in the frum community, I vaguely understood the concept when I was 16 and they ran a risk of me making eyes at their daughter too much…
Jerusalem – The Darchei Rachel seminary for girls in Jerusalem imposed a new regulation recently: Each girl agreeing not to put on makeup for her wedding will receive a scholarship worth NIS 1,000 (about $265).
From the same people that brought you “shomer stick” come’s their latest attempt at making fun of the sexual undertones of orthodox Judaism. The girl who plays the frum stripper and the guy who played the yeshiva bochur get a…
