Masculine Jew: Find Inspiration, Make a Plan, and Watch it Fail
http://masculinejew.blogspot.com/2014/09/find-inspiration-make-plan-and-watch-it.html
Search Me (My Blog). Sep 28, 2014. Find Inspiration, Make a Plan, and Watch it Fail. Sometimes, I revel in ironic shock at the sheer number of things that must converge for a moment to occur -the type of moment that jolts my attention, sends an electric bolt through my mind, stirs my heart, and instantly forms the resolve in my soul: I will find a way meet and get to know her. That was the moment I started calculating. I know I've talked about preferences before ( here. Mission failed, for now. And I thi...

Masculine Jew: Questions I Hate (and Suggestions for Replacements)
http://masculinejew.blogspot.com/2012/06/ten-questions-i-hate-and-suggestions.html
Search Me (My Blog). Jun 26, 2012. Questions I Hate (and Suggestions for Replacements). I get all kinds of questions in dating, and people seem to answer specific questions in particular ways (regardless of how they are asked). Here are some of the more common ones and a few ideas I have and use. 1) What is your "look"? How many women do you know that would elicit those feelings? 2) What kind of personality are you looking for? Is she kind to herself and the people closest to her? I'm not looking for per...

Masculine Jew: April 2014
http://masculinejew.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Search Me (My Blog). Apr 1, 2014. Farewell to the Shidduch Dating World. What does all this mean? Will I never go on a blind date or shidduch date? Will I be off the internet dating websites forever? Is this my last post? 1) Relationships are made of experiences not criteria. There is some interesting research. About the phenomenon in online dating (and I extend that to my experience of shidduch dating as well) regarding a distinction between search by criterion and experience. Than a pile of traits.

Masculine Jew: The Chain of Dating
http://masculinejew.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-chain-of-dating.html
Search Me (My Blog). Sep 18, 2014. The Chain of Dating. At the beginning of summer, one of my married friends set me up. Not the everyday setup, this one had been in the works for eight months. Yup, that long. It was hard to say no, despite my previous assertions. As an aside, I joked with my sister that I was being handed off. Then she told me that she recently did the same thing with a number of men she'd dated over the summer as well! But that's another story for another time. Soon. Welcome to my blog!

Masculine Jew: Men 101: Looks
http://masculinejew.blogspot.com/2011/12/men-101-looks.html
Search Me (My Blog). Dec 7, 2011. Men care about physicality. We shouldn't have to apologize for that. It doesn't make us shallow. It's also not the be-all-end-all. The way we men work is very different than a woman; whereas my experience is that a woman's attraction to a man is intertwined with how she feels about him and his personality. For example, I really. Like redheads. Not because they're all more beautiful than the rest of the population, but one of the first women I saw and truly admired -a...

Masculine Jew: November 2014
http://masculinejew.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Search Me (My Blog). Nov 3, 2014. A Part of Me. Seeing that mirrored in another person, in a relationship, is beyond thrilling. My abs are constantly sore (just like when I was a kid) because we spend more than half our time together laughing hysterically. I found a lost treasure, one that lights up my life. Labels: My Little Universe. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Welcome to my blog! I go by the name Ish Yehudi. And I think about relationships a lot, so I put down some of what I'm thinking here. In my fir...

Masculine Jew: Untouched
http://masculinejew.blogspot.com/2011/11/untouched.html
Search Me (My Blog). Nov 22, 2011. Disclaimer: I want to make it abundantly clear that the following words are not a declaration of what I do, how I will act or my plans vis-a-vis Halachah. It's not about how I feel about Halachah, or Hashem, or my dedication. What follows is purely an expression of longing, of feeling, and of pain. As a short intro, I'm going to give a bit about my story of deciding to maintain shmirat negiyah. That I'm upset over, it's myself. Beyond that, I want to be touched by a wom...

Masculine Jew: Can't Find a Date? Date Your Shadchan!
http://masculinejew.blogspot.com/2014/10/cant-find-date-date-your-shadchan.html
Search Me (My Blog). Oct 6, 2014. Can't Find a Date? I was talking to several wonderful women about shidduch dating and online dating, when one of them blurted out that her shadchan hadn't set her up in months. Another one chimed in, and soon there was a chorus of complaints about how both shidduch dating and online dating is imbalanced and unfair. And sat down to chat about her work and passions, to talk about my values, and genuinely cultivated a connection. My impulse was to generate a connection ...
