“How many times have we heard successful African-American women complain they can’t find a good man? Everyone has an opinion on the black man shortage, but none of the so-called relationship experts offer real solutions…
Is it possible that we have been missing an important match? Yes! Jewish men make wonderful husbands… as well as fantastic lovers. This book… sheds light on why successful black women, and career gals in general, and Jewish men are very compatible…
In summary, to find Mr. Right, women must date with quality in mind, such as character traits and values, they should be open to interracial dating, and apply faith in dating.”
--Excerpted from the Introduction (pages xiii-xiv)
Sometimes, a sister has to kiss a lot of frogs before finding her soul mate. In Dr. Nazaree Hines-Starr’s case, she had to date a lot of “scumbags,” as she puts it. As a Black woman, she had trouble meeting single guys who were at her level “emotionally, academically or professionally.” Unfortunately, most of the available African-American men she met “had managed to waste years that should have been spent in college or developing a career, chasing skirts, getting arrested, or playing video games.”
Moreover, many had “accumulated baggage” such as “rap sheets” and “baby-mama drama.” And even the rare brother who had his act together was never serious about settling down and starting a family.
So, rather than lower her standards by entertaining the advances of commitment-phobic losers from a lower socioeconomic class, Nazaree decided to expand her pool of potential suitors to include men who might not be Christian or African-American.
Lo and behold, she met her future husband over the internet at an online dating website. Although Michael was white and Jewish, love blossomed across the color and religion lines, and the couple has since married and welcomed a baby boy, Hayden.
Nazaree chronicles her perils in the battle-of-the-sexes and exactly how she emerged victorious with the perfect alpha male on her arm in “Why Every Black Woman Should Marry a Jewish Man.” The author, a gifted writer but a pharmacist by trade, is surprisingly forthcoming in her combination memoir/how-to tome whose title speaks for itself.
Beginning with Chapter One, “Scumbag Files,” she takes delight in laying out the lessons she learned from a string of dates from hell. By Chapter Eight, she’s done with dishing the dirt and is ready to extol the virtues of taking a dip in the snow, so to speak—entering a relationship with a proverbial good Jewish boy.
Why? First of all, you don’t have to worry that he might be on the “down-low,” because Jewish culture isn’t homophobic. Secondly, Jewish men generally graduate from college, and they aren’t looking for someone to support them.
Furthermore, they “marry BEFORE making babies,” and “they don’t display their underwear in public.” Plus, they’re practical financially and don’t have a need to preen in macho fashion. And last but not least, they know how to please a partner in bed. The sum appears to be a proven approach for open-minded sisters in search of their Prince Charming.
This review is actually NOT satire.
You mean black women don’t want to marry bling covered, gold grilled, gangsta’ rappin’ hip hoppers? I would never have guessed why..../s
That’s one segment of their demographics they’re going to have to deal with before the earn any real respect as a whole IMHO
That’s not kosher...... not part of the Jewish promotion of Blacks as their civil rights surrogates
Isn't it racist to claim an entire race acts one way or the other?
Best of all, we would get more opportunities to snicker at black men with names like Leonard Kravitz.
While the average black men has all these negatives that make him an unsuitable marriage partner, what the author refuses to realize, is that black women have their own "issues", to the level that successful black men prefer marrying non-black women, and hardly any white men have any interest in marrying black women either.
They may not want to marry them, but women’s behavior otherwise certainly encourages men’s feral affectations. And she doesn’t see cause and effect here?
White Christian culture isn’t far behind; this is learned behavior not DNA.
I thought Jewish men made the best husbands for everyone.
The reference is to ‘culture’—not race or ethnicity.
Black women have to do something as so many black men are chasing white women.
Word that!
There was a study done as well, that the vast majority of black women DO NOT want to date, much less marry, any non-black man.
Saul Liebowitz was having dinner with his wife when he suddenly confessed “I have a mistress and she’s sitting over there”. His wife was aghast and blurted out “How could you do this to me?”. Saul responded “All Jewish men have mistresses. Gabe Fleishman’s mistress is sitting two tables over from us”. His wife looked over and responded “Our’s is much prettier”.
That’s funny right there.
Men tend to marry women more feminine than themselves.
Black women have trouble finding men because most of them act way to masculine for most mens tastes.
This is the reason why men of almost every race like Asian women because they are in general act the most feminine.
Men are naturally turned off by masculinity exhibited in a girl, because, straight men are not attracted to masculine traits.
There is a great deal of bias and antipathy displayed toward a white male in a relationship with a black female, by black people. I know this firsthand. The black women who would consider it are either not American, or are military brats who never were acculturated into the biases, norms and taboos of black America, due to isolation from it and moving around so much.
The majority of Jewish males are perceived as white. Then, there is the religious bigotry directed toward Jews by black people lurking just below the surface, or possibly even overt.
Also, the Jewish male willing to marry outside his religion let alone his actual or percieved racial categorization is fairly unusual, unless you’re talking about the thoroughly secular to the point of atheism. Jewish women are more open to such unions than men are.
This article therefore is very weird, it does not compute.
The flip side of that coin explains Barry’s attraction to Michelle.
