Hebrew Mamita

I received a link to a you tube video from good-guy Ron Sanders yesterday featuring the "Hebrew Mamita", Vanessa Hidary.  I have seen her comedy shtick before and truth-be-told it makes me wince a little.  In her own words she is a Crazy, Loud, Eccentric, Fiery, Passionate, Romantic, Stubborn, Angelic, Smart, Talented, Outlandish, Pulling your Fuckin' hair out, Wild Child Artist and in my words she is a bit over-the-top, proud Jewish woman with tons of chutzpah. She is also a little scary.

Her signature routine is about when an unsuspecting guy in a bar pays her an ill-advised back handed compliment about "not looking Jewish".  She takes this to mean "you might not be as undesirable as are other Jewish women".  Luckily for the poor shmuck, she controls her anger long enough for him to escape.

Hahaha you might think.  But I truly do ask myself this question - why do so many nice Jewish boys prefer to marry gentile girls?  I am not the only one who has noticed this phenomena, there are quite a few books and novels touching this theme.

Is it the forbidden fruit (like eating trefe)?   Are gentile girls more attractive with their softer features and lighter hair?   Are their expectations of their spouse and children lower?  Are Jewish girls simply more high maintenance?  Or worst of all, do we remind guys of their mothers?!?
