Ah, Yitta Halberstam. The woman that launched a thousand articles.

OK, you know that I have an Hungarian background, meaning we are a superficial people. However, there is also the understanding that some have great personalities that can heighten or even eclipse their looks entirely. But in order to do that one has to have self-esteem and -confidence.

Meaning, if one has no faith in their own face, that will make them less appealing. Yitta went and cast upon her readership a self-fulfilling prophecy: Girls, you ain’t pretty enough. Ergo, they’ll stop behaving as if they are.

One thing she failed to grasp is that superficiality is not a specifically male-dominated sphere. Practically every girl I know analyzes the dudes’ looks as well, not remotely taking personality into the equation at all.

Conclusion? The Jewish community of the USA (or at least the one of NYC) has decided to micro-manage the dating world, which in essence is supposed to be messy and uncontrollable.

Additionally, everyone is freaking out screaming “How dare men be so shallow!,” except a man didn’t say this; a woman did. She’s not speaking for men; she’s speaking strictly for her boychick. And all she’s doing is trying to convince herself (like any helicopter mommie) is that she can get for her son “the best.” That article did not come from a place of security or honesty; it came from doubt and self-delusion.

Poor woman.
