Strippercize

As I make my rounds of Jewish singles events, I run into a lot of women who used to be hot. Many of them toyed with me and then dumped me.

Now they’re not so hot and not so married.

A few years ago, I met a nice Jewish girl at a Shabbat dinner. We hit it off. She gave me her phone number. We arranged to meet for dinner.

Dinner went great.

Afterwards, I sent her an email saying how much I enjoyed myself.

I did not hear back.

A year later, I ran into her at a friend’s birthday party.

I made polite conversation. She was very friendly. She had two cocktails.

Encouraged, I bought her a third.

Then she asked me to drive her home.

On the way, she went into great detail about this strippercize aerobics program she’s on.

I got very excited.

We went inside her place. I was all polite for a few minutes. She wanted to watch this reality show. As it was ending, I leaned over to kiss her.

"My brother’s coming home any time," she said, blowing me off yet again.

I still run into her during the agony of Jewish singles events.

People who don’t know better try to fix us up.
