Jewish.

I always thought there is something to the belief that Jewish men make excellent husbands. I met DH before I became Jewish and before I met him, thought most men I met were dire and not husband material at all. But then I became Jewish and met more Jewish men through DH and socialising... Have never met so many eligible men- smart, educated, good career, respects women, does chores, good looking, eloquent, sense of humour. On the r/s boards, people are always saying that they can't find good men but unfortunately I can't advise them to go to a Jewish singles event or synagogue or Friday night dinner

I have some anecdotal evidence to support this theory. However, I'm Anglo-Catholic and would not be prepared to convert (although neither would I expect him to), so I guess that's out.

Having said that, I'm a world champion commitment phobe and I can't see me settling down, so I guess it's all a tad irrelevant for me.

I kind of think Jewish men would expect someone to convert.

Although I am basing this assertion entirely on Harry from SATC.

EssentialHummus · 27/12/2020 12:04

It depends lady. I’m a reform Jew married to a non-Jew. No expectation in the slightest that DP would convert. Family expectations can also vary, of course.

@EssentialHummus

That’s interesting. May I ask you a question about Judaism? Is there a belief that you are born with all of the knowledge you need in life and that your role/purpose is simply to bring that into the world r have I got it mixed up. I am reading up on it and trying to get a sense of how the faith works in contrast to Christianity where I think the idea is slightly different.

Sorry to derail thread

Long hair, strong forearms and big hands Xmas Grin

LadyfromtheBelleEpoque · 27/12/2020 15:38

I do wonder if we are going to see more ‘incidental’ forearms across men’s social media from now on (Instagram, etc) And the professionals. Their marketing teams need to get on it😉

TheChampagneGalop · 27/12/2020 15:47

MrsFlump · 27/12/2020 17:55

Bald/balding men. All my celeb crushes are bald and luckily DH has very little hair on his head! Weird I know as most women say hair is a massive turn on.

Eyes, especially green ones.
Strong back and shoulders.

SimonJT · 27/12/2020 20:04

You’ve not seen the size of my ears, if I tilt my head south west I get pretty good Sky reception.

wizzywig · 27/12/2020 23:04

@SimonJT yeah but apart from that, do you bear a passing resemblance to alvise?

SimonJT · 28/12/2020 06:20

Facially yes, from the neck down sadly not!

Janegrey333 · 28/12/2020 11:32

I’m confused. Are you male @SimonJT?

Simon is a very regular poster and, I believe, is a gay man.
