We all have a mental checklist of what we want in a partner. The problem is, when we actually find that person, they don't necessarily fit into that checklist.
I had a really great friend in law school. She was a fantastic girl, very bright, very fun, very cool. She was also, by self-admission, not a very "nice" girl. She had a baby at 16 that she gave up for adoption, and had some loose morals about sex. To the point where most of our male friends likened an experience with her to tossing a hot dog down a hallway, or giving a whale a tic-tac. You get my drift.
She ended up getting married to a devout Christian man, who at the age of 26 or 27 was a virgin until their wedding night. Who would have thought that the girl "who might as well charge for it" would marry a virgin.
That's the problem. God has a sicker sense of humor than any of us. I wouldn't date a man who lived in New Jersey because I considered him locationally challenged. Well, hardy fucking har har, I manage to find someone ON A DIFFERENT CONTINENT. And not only that, but my list, you know the one where he has to be Jewish, and older, and fit perfectly with my family?
Yeah, not so much. Why do I even bother. My guy might as well be a fucking alien at this point, he's so far away from my list. I didn't know I lived in Demento World, but I should have.
But I'm still very lucky to find him. Well, actually, I'm not sure there's anyone left for me to date....
But in all honesty, sometimes, the criteria we use to find happiness are the very things that actually keep us from finding happiness. So I'm trying to learn to readjust my vision, and who knows? This relationship might last five minutes longer than my marriage. A whole six minutes people!!!! That's progress.

open your legs and show us your fucking huge pussy
Goldie lox told you the Greeks are fucking antisemites
they will snub you
I don't know what you have done in this guy's mind to piss him off but holy shit. Anonymous wouldn't happen to be your ex is he? A jilted suitor?
Regardless I enjoy reading your thoughts and hope the childish ramblings of a few don't deter you.
Peace.
Seriously, isn't there a way to block specific IP addresses?
Anyway, some ancient Greek guy once said something tantamount to, "The only thing we can know is our own ignorance..." man, I'm slaughtering that quote.
Point is, the idea that we should expect ourselves to know who/what is best for us is just plain insanity. Ya gotta go with what life teaches you. Enjoy your good fortune.
Meh - people who fit 'the list' tend to be people who're perfect 'on paper'. And total fruitloops.
Dear Anonymous,
I'd like to invite you to be the flower girl at my Greek Church Wedding. Pussy showing and Jew-shooting promptly to follow the ceremony.
Black tie optional.
Hope to see you there!
honey learn the word "evreyo" coz thats what they will say behind your back all the time. It means Jew in their language.
also start smashing plates-its what they do for fun
I find it ironic that you are talking about a girl who has "loose morals about sex" when you paint yourself out to be such a slut on this blog.
I don't know you, so I don't know what your morals are or who you've done, and I don't really care.
Just pointing out that is the picture that you are painting of yourself.
What the readers are getting is that you are a picky, narcissistic, conceited, know-it-all who has dated or had one night stands with nearly the entire city of New York.
Oh, and your entry about all of the times you have been engaged didn't really help to alter that image either.
In reality you are probably either someone with a really low self esteem that feels she needs to slut it up to feel better about herself and her poor choices, or, you are so superficial and arrogant that you will end up dying a lonely, bitter woman.
Relax...that's all you will probably ever hear from me. I rarely read your blog and only come to visit when I am really, really bored and need to feel better about myself or to have a laugh.
I will say that a lot of your entries are funny and well written. However, the ones about your sexual conquests and dating get old.
Wow, more anonymous sniping and now the Jesus patrol to boot. Another day in paradise.

Oh honey, who ISN'T?
i am new to this and would post under a name if i could but here is my take on it. hunny, the haters are right. i'm sorry. your problems stem from your family upbringing. date jewish, no wait, date jewish and rich. thrown out b/c he was poor. you do give women a bad name. it's not your fault. class is not something learned, it's comes from within. your mother doesn't have it so why would you. hence all the dating and proposals. i'm sorry, just typing the truth. i call it as i see it. only dating someone b/c of their religion is so disgusting. i have a question for all: why is it if you ask a normal american what he or she is you get in return. italian, german, irish and so on. they don't give their religion. they don't say catholic, orthodox or whatever. ask a jewish person the same exact question and you get i'm jewish as an answer. hum, hello i asked what your ethnic background is (russian, polish). not your religion. religion doesn't make you who you are. you only follow it b/c your parents made the choice for you. you can change your relgion but you can't change your roots, or blood. if your italian then you will always be italian. your religion is not your background. if anything it's in the foreground. your parents make a choice and you have to go forward, but your ethnic background is there before birth. (most jewish people if not all claim they want to see isreal before they die. what about going to see where you great granparents come from, your real history. and don't give me the shit about my great grandparents are from isreal b/c we all know when isreal was founded.)you are what your mother is. if your mother was catholic would she still feel the same about dating a jewish man. see what i'm getting at.
People who write blogs put themselves out there to be judged. If you don't like to be judged don't put your life on the internet!
Wow....I was going to comment but I forgot what the entry was about after reading these ridiculous comments. Sheesh.
Oh yeah, I think you will find the right guy sooner or later. There's nothing wrong with being picky. But you are right about your list. My great wife of 11 years was not the ideal person I had imagined that I would marry...but she is much better.

The reason why Jews, says "Jewish" is because Judaism is more than a religion it's an ethnicity. I'm a Jew who lived in Russian. My family and me were never thought of as "Russian" our ethnicity was written in the passport as Jewish. The Soviet government,never allowed to be plain Russians (however, did everything to erase any Jewish traditions/ritual from Jews' lives.)Blame the anti-Semitic Europe/Middle East. Jews were never treated like full-fledging citizens and that is why when you ask someone their ethnicity they will say Jewish. Would you rather I say Israeli? Next time someone asks me where I'm from, because that's where my original ancestors are from. Would that make you feel better about the Jews?!
Also, I find it great when Jews marry Jewish partners. I'm dating someone who is not Jewish and as much as I love him, it makes things difficult when I show interest in Judaism and he could care less. People with similiar backgrounds who marry tend to stay together. That doesn't mean things can't work between interfaith couples. But there's nothing wrong with dating only people in your Religion, especially if that religion is important to you.
