the allure of the forbidden


often i hear people complain that they cant find a great frum guy/girl to date so they make that leap and say that just for that they will start dating non-jews. i never quite get the logic. first of all , some of the people i have heard say this are quite frum. what on earth would a gentile be interested in them for unless they may have heard said frummy is rich? at least go the non-frum date route first . if that doesnt work well.... then you can get back to me. the frustrated frummy may not be successful with the non-frummy, but at least if one marries a secular jew they will have jewish children. secular jews are still culturally more similar to frum jews because duh... they are actually jewish.
anyway, my mantra is "there are good people and bad people in every group, so dont let some frum bozo stop you from finding your jewish bashert"

Because not frum Jews still have Jewish Mamas ;-)

I hadn't even imagined people would do such a thing. It doesn't even make sense. If you can't find someone within your Jewish circles, then you obviously can't find within non-Jewish, because that should be something your not looking for. That would be a number 1 criteria on my list, for the guy to be Jewish.
