Jews of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea

Posted on September 7, 2015 by Luke Ford

Rabbi Yossi Serebryanski writes: As a young child growing up in Australia I heard of an Israeli who had a hotel in Port Moresby, New Guinea. Prior to that I had never heard of any Jewish presence there. That’s not surprising because the history of Jews in Papua, New Guinea and Indonesia has been relatively unrecognized until recently. Their existence has come to light as a result of local people in those islands who wish to return to their Jewish roots.

Indonesia is a Muslim country. An Indonesian political activist named Gus Dur accepted an invitation to visit Israel in October 1994. But things didn’t begin to change until he, then named Abdurrahman Wahid, became Indonesia’s fourth president (from 1999-2001). It was during his administration that descendants of Jews began to come out of hiding.

Despite the country’s Muslim designation, in 2012 the National News Channel acknowledged that approximately 150 Jewish descendants from all over Indonesia assembled together to celebrate Sukkot there.

Elisheva Wiriaatmadja, an Indonesian who is pursuing an Orthodox Jewish conversion, was invited to speak in a messianic church in Papua. Church members had heard about a group of people from Indonesia who were involved in the process of converting to Judaism and were eager to learn the details of their journey.

Once there, Elisheva discovered people who are obviously direct descendants of Jews. In the 1400s and 1500s when Jews were expelled from Spain and Portugal, many of them traveled to Peru. When the Inquisition followed them, many fled to Japan and others continued on to Papua, where a large number eventually intermarried with locals.

Incredibly, one Papua tribe sings a lullaby with this line: “We were once twelve brothers but ten have disappeared.” Although unaware of the significance, many families have surnames like Sukkot, Torah and Menorah. As children they were taught never to step foot in any church as “it is an evil place.”

Recently the hierarchy and attendees of the messianic churches in two Papuan cities gathered together to decide if they should remain Messianic or pursue a return to the religion of their ancestors. After Elisheva contacted Rabbi Tovia Singer, he flew down to meet with and help them. Amazingly, 168 Papuans, including their leaders, left the churches and embraced Judaism.

Elisheva has worked diligently to translate Torah into the local language. She also runs a radio program to teach people Torah. By answering many of her questions I became part of the journey she and others around her pursued. She is a descendant of Dutch Jews who worked for the Dutch East India Company. She and her sister only returned to their Jewish roots within the last few years.

Their journey has not been easy. In an initial attempt to pursue conversion, the community, led by Benjamin Meier Verbrugge, contacted Orthodox rabbanim who rejected them. At the end of 2013 I discovered that, with no Orthodox leadership to guide them, their burning desire to convert led 75 members of the community to have a non-halachic conversion. This is a major issue taking place around the world. The vacuum created by the Orthodox world not dealing with the multitudes that wish to return pushes many to yield to the promises of non-halachic sources who take money for unacceptable conversions.
Baruch Hashem, I helped Elisheva understand that this “conversion” was not “kosher.” Yet, despite the fact that the conversion was not halachically acceptable, it caused a ripple effect throughout the Christian and Muslim communities in that part of the world. That is how the messianic churches in Papua heard about it.

We spent quite some time trying to figure out how the descendants of Jews could go through a halachic conversion. At my suggestion, in March of 2014, Elisheva contacted Rabbi Gutnick at the Beit Din in Sydney, Australia to arrange the conversion. He replied a few hours later that he (miraculously) intended to be in Jakarta within that week to do some kosher supervision. A first meeting was arranged. Since then he has continued to meet with them and is guiding a small group towards a halachic conversion with Rabbi Tuvia Singer as their teacher. The community is spread out and has limited income. They are currently trying to raise funds so they can pay for teachers to come and help them.

From when the first Jews arrived as part of the Dutch East India Company (established in 1602) and their official presence as of 1872, there has been a steady presence of Jews in this remote region of the world. Besides the Dutch, Jews also came from Iraq and Aden. There was a synagogue in Surabaya, which was torn down in 2013. There are accounts from travelers, including those of Rav Yaakov Halevy Sapir in the 1800’s and Israel Cohen’s Java Zionist newspaper in the early 1900’s, as well as stories of Jewish refugees who arrived in the 1930’s and 1940’s, that support the idea that, intermarried or not, there were many Jews who settled in Indonesia.

LAT: More than seven decades later, Monaco apologizes for deporting Jews

Posted on September 7, 2015 by Luke Ford

From the Los Angeles Times:

Monaco committed the “irreparable” injustice of deporting Jews to Nazi camps during World War II, Prince Albert II said Thursday in belated apology for the action 73 years ago that sent scores of residents and refugees to their deaths.
Many of the 66 people handed over to Nazi occupiers in neighboring France had sought refuge in the principality that was neutral in the first years of the war.
But on the night of Aug. 27, 1942, Monaco authorities rounded up Jewish residents and delivered them to the Nazis. At least 24 other Monegasques living in the Riviera principality or in the surrounding French countryside were deported during the war, according to a government report released this year. Only nine of the 90 who were deported survived their Nazi detention.
“We committed the irreparable in handing over to the neighboring authorities women, men and a child who had taken refuge with us to escape the persecutions they had suffered in France,” Albert said at a ceremony in which a monument to the victims was unveiled. “In distress, they came specifically to take shelter with us, thinking they would find neutrality.”
Albert said the acknowledgment of wrongdoing by the wartime authorities “is to ask forgiveness,” addressing his apology to Jewish community leaders in attendance, including the principality’s chief rabbi and renowned Holocaust researchers Serge and Beate Klarsfeld.

How come there have been no apologies from Jewish leaders for the massive role that Jews played in the development of communism and in the implementation of its genocides under Stalin? Every American who illegally gave the Soviet Union details on how to build a nuclear weapon was Jewish. Should Jewish leaders apologize for that? How come organized Jewry rarely if ever supports the development of memorials to the victims of communism?

From YNETNews:

Here’s a particularly forlorn historical date: Almost 90 years ago, between the 19th and 20th of December 1917, in the midst of the Bolshevik revolution and civil war, Lenin signed a decree calling for the establishment of The All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage, also known as Cheka.
Within a short period of time, Cheka became the largest and cruelest state security organization. Its organizational structure was changed every few years, as were its names: From Cheka to GPU, later to NKVD, and later to KGB.
We cannot know with certainty the number of deaths Cheka was responsible for in its various manifestations, but the number is surely at least 20 million, including victims of the forced collectivization, the hunger, large purges, expulsions, banishments, executions, and mass death at Gulags.
Whole population strata were eliminated: Independent farmers, ethnic minorities, members of the bourgeoisie, senior officers, intellectuals, artists, labor movement activists, “opposition members” who were defined completely randomly, and countless members of the Communist party itself.
In his new, highly praised book “The War of the World, “Historian Niall Ferguson writes that no revolution in the history of mankind devoured its children with the same unrestrained appetite as did the Soviet revolution. In his book on the Stalinist purges, Tel Aviv University’s Dr. Igal Halfin writes that Stalinist violence was unique in that it was directed internally.
Lenin, Stalin, and their successors could not have carried out their deeds without wide-scale cooperation of disciplined “terror officials,” cruel interrogators, snitches, executioners, guards, judges, perverts, and many bleeding hearts who were members of the progressive Western Left and were deceived by the Soviet regime of horror and even provided it with a kosher certificate.
All these things are well-known to some extent or another, even though the former Soviet Union’s archives have not yet been fully opened to the public. But who knows about this? Within Russia itself, very few people have been brought to justice for their crimes in the NKVD’s and KGB’s service. The Russian public discourse today completely ignores the question of “How could it have happened to us?” As opposed to Eastern European nations, the Russians did not settle the score with their Stalinist past.
And us, the Jews? An Israeli student finishes high school without ever hearing the name “Genrikh Yagoda,” the greatest Jewish murderer of the 20th Century, the GPU’s deputy commander and the founder and commander of the NKVD. Yagoda diligently implemented Stalin’s collectivization orders and is responsible for the deaths of at least 10 million people. His Jewish deputies established and managed the Gulag system. After Stalin no longer viewed him favorably, Yagoda was demoted and executed, and was replaced as chief hangman in 1936 by Yezhov, the “bloodthirsty dwarf.”
Yezhov was not Jewish but was blessed with an active Jewish wife. In his Book “Stalin: Court of the Red Star”, Jewish historian Sebag Montefiore writes that during the darkest period of terror, when the Communist killing machine worked in full force, Stalin was surrounded by beautiful, young Jewish women.
Stalin’s close associates and loyalists included member of the Central Committee and Politburo Lazar Kaganovich. Montefiore characterizes him as the “first Stalinist” and adds that those starving to death in Ukraine, an unparalleled tragedy in the history of human kind aside from the Nazi horrors and Mao’s terror in China, did not move Kaganovich.
Many Jews sold their soul to the devil of the Communist revolution and have blood on their hands for eternity. We’ll mention just one more: Leonid Reichman, head of the NKVD’s special department and the organization’s chief interrogator, who was a particularly cruel sadist.

Where Are The Voices Of Jewish Leaders Opposed To Letting In More Muslim Immigrants?

Posted on September 7, 2015 by Luke Ford

From reading Google News, all I see are Jews welcoming this influx of Islamic immigrants from Syria. Well, how would you like them living in your house? If you don’t want them on your block, why would you wish that burden on the goyim?

Would you rather 500 Syrians drowned at sea or moved on to your block?

From JWeekly: Europe continues to face a humanitarian crisis as refugees from the war in Syria flood the continent only to face inhumane policies and conditions.

Some say refugees are being treated in ways reminiscent of the Holocaust — and Jewish communities across Europe are responding.

There was outcry from Jewish and human rights groups this week after news that officials in the Czech Republic wrote numbers with felt-tipped markers on the skin of migrants “pulled off trains,” reports The New York Times.

The president of the Rome Jewish community, Ruth Dureghello, said, “It is an image we cannot bear, which recalls to mind the procedure at the entrance of Nazi extermination camps,” according to JTA.

As quoted in The Guardian, the U.K.’s former chief rabbi, Lord Jonathan Sacks, said that “Britain needs to make a bold gesture similar to Kindertransport to help address the humanitarian crisis engulfing Europe,” referring to British efforts to smuggle Jewish children out of continental Europe during World War II.

Aid agency World Jewish Relief described the situation as “the greatest refugee crisis [in Europe] since the Second World War,” London’s Jewish Chronicle reports.

As quoted in the Chronicle, British legislator Luciana Berger, described as “Britain’s youngest Jewish MP,” said that her nation’s response to the crisis “has failed to live up to Britain’s historic role as a country that offers asylum to those fleeing persecution and death.

At the other end of the spectrum is Hungary and Bulgaria, which according to JTA are “looking into Israeli-designed fences to keep refugees from crossing their borders.”

COMPASSION SIGNALLING ABOUT A SAD PHOTOGRAPH WON’T SOLVE SYRIA’S REFUGEE PROBLEM

Posted on September 7, 2015 by Luke Ford

James Delingpole writes: It’s a pretty low-down trick, you might have thought, to use a harrowing photograph of a dead child to advance your political agenda and signal the depths of your compassion.

But almost everyone has been at it over the last couple of days – from the Tory MP for Plymouth to Labour’s temporary Opposition leader Harriet Harman, from the Chief Rabbi on the BBC Radio 4 Today this morning to pretty much all the people you know on Facebook and Twitter.

Fairly typical is these inevitable contributions from Jack Monroe, a political activist…

There are at least two problems with this kind of emotional fascism.

The first is that it stinks of the witch-hunt bully mob. A similar climate prevailed in Britain in the weeks following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales: if you weren’t one of the good, caring people who rushed to Kensington Palace to place a teddy bear/bunch of flowers/mawkish hand-coloured tribute to the martyred saint who was apparently ‘Queen of All our Hearts’, then basically you were probably the kind of person who would have volunteered to become camp commandant at Auschwitz.

So it is with poor little Aylan Kurdi, with whose name and family circumstances we are all now painfully familiar.

No one who has seen that piteous photograph could fail to be moved: the tenderness and sorrow with which the Turkish policeman is cradling the dead child in his arms; Aylan’s bare legs, the flesh not yet pallid, as though he could yet be alive; the battered trainers with their velcro fastenings, such as we’ve all seen small children – including perhaps our own – toddling cheerfully around on beaches like that one in Bodrum all this summer.

But, of course, an inward shudder of “there but for the grace of God go all our children” is never enough for these commissars of emotional correctness. You have to tweet about it. You have to bully other people into feeling that they have to tweet about it. You have to feel so overwhelmingly strongly about it that it becomes inexcusable not to demand immediate action, because if you don’t then that’s proof positive that really you just don’t give a damn…

Which brings me to my second objection: the politically driven manipulation towards a particular outcome.

The people demanding action now on the basis of the Aylan Kurdi photograph may not all be aware of what they’re doing here. Indeed, most of them probably aren’t: this, after all, is about the circumvention of the rational process with raw emotion, about the heart not the head.

That though is precisely why it’s so dangerous and so counterproductive. In asking us to focus on a particular private tragedy, it demands that we ignore the bigger picture. This is a game that the progressive movement, left-wing radicals and social justice warriors have long been adept at playing in order to advance their dubious agenda and to make their more sober-minded conservative opponents look heartless. But a recipe for sensible policy it is not.

I notice the last time I made this point was just over a year ago, in a piece written at the height of the Israeli incursion into Gaza.

A photograph began circulating of the mutilated corpse of a Palestinian child, allegedly killed by Israeli shelling. I say “allegedly” because, as with all photographs circulated for propaganda purposes by Hamas and its sympathisers, you can never be sure of the circumstances or indeed the location in which they were taken. (From Syria to Iraq there is no current shortage of Middle Eastern dead baby photos). This was “Pallywood productions” in excelsis. It was released with a very specific, cynical and sinister purpose: to focus international outrage against Israel and create a mood of heightened emotion which made it much harder to consider the wider implications of the conflict (eg that Hamas had provoked it by firing the first rockets). In this climate, there was little appetite for stories pointing out Hamas’s brutal attitude towards its own citizens, for example deliberately firing rockets from schools and hospitals and residential apartments in full knowledge that this would invite retaliatory strikes resulting in civilian casualties. Dead baby = Israel evil was the message. It worked.

So, again, it is with poor little Aylan Kurdi.

Love The Stranger

Posted on September 7, 2015 by Luke Ford

The Torah makes many sweeping declarations, including, “Love the stranger.” But the Torah tradition does not end there. It includes specifics on how this is to be done. You are not supposed to go out and practice Biblical texts any way you see fit.

The Torah tradition says nothing explicitly about how much Jews should push their Gentile governments to aid illegal immigrants. The Torah tradition says nothing clearly about what type of government Gentile nations should develop.

As Rabbi Mayer Schiller said in 1999: “The State of Israel poses a problem for Jews living in the diaspora. A Jew living in America, France or England but yet somehow says I am an Israeli or a Zionist, that creates a tremendous amount of tension. Herzl envisioned Zionism as Jews leaving Gentile nations and going to live in Israel, not staying in France and England and saying I am a Zionist. Jews living in America, England, France, etc, have three moral possibilities: They can be loyal citizens, they can be Zionists which means to leave [for Israel] or they can adopt the Neterui Karta position of non-involvement in the affairs of the nations.”

REPORT:

All the great faiths suggest a different paradigm – one which gives priority to the widow, the orphan and the alien. The Chief Rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, has underscored this by refusing to make a distinction between “genuine refugees” and economic migrants. What should govern our response, he says, is the immediacy of the need of the stranger knocking at our door. His predecessor, Jonathan Sacks, was more explicit, calling on Britain to admit at least 10,000 refugees in a conspicuous echo of the Kindertransport which rescued Jewish children from Nazi Germany.
We should not be afraid of such numbers. The cold fact is that more than 500 million people live in the EU. The 350,000 migrants who have entered Europe so far this year represent less than a 10th of 1 per cent of the total population. Our continent has the means to absorb such a tiny percentage with relative ease.

European rabbi calls on other community leaders to join humanitarian visit to Brussels refugee camp

Posted on September 7, 2015 by Luke Ford

The more Europe welcomes refugees, the more refugees they’ll get. The more a neighborhood takes care of the homeless, the more homeless they’ll get. The more you subsidize a behavior, the more of that behavior you’ll get.

Would you like 50 Syrian refugees moving on to your block and four into your home?

BRUSSELS (EJP)—European Jewish Association (EJA) General Director Rabbi Menachem Margolin has appealed other community leaders to join a planned visit this week to a refugee camp in Brussels. The goodwill visit to the camp of Syrian refugees in the center of the Belgian capital is organised by the European Jewish Community Centre (EJCC) with the specific aim of delivering much-needed school supplies to children who have already received adequate supplies of food and clothing. Rabbi Margolin called on other Jewish leaders and community members to join the humanitarian mission, which will be leaving Thursday at 18.00 from the European Jewish Building, located in the EU area, either bringing with them the requested supplies, or making a donation to the EJCC who will donate them on their behalf. ‘’It is each and every Jewish individual’s moral duty to help those in need, to be ambassadors for charity and goodwill in times of crisis,’’ said Rabbi Margolin. “The founding principle of many universal faiths is to love your neighbor as yourself – it’s at times like this that we are called on to put our money where our mouths are,” said the EJA Director. “European Jewry well remembers having to flee their homes empty-handed in our recent history. We must use those experiences and all possible tools at our disposal to help these migrants to build their own futures,” he added.

Report: Moved by own history of woe, Italy’s Jews extend refugees an open hand

Posted on September 7, 2015 by Luke Ford

Remembering one’s group suffering is more likely to predispose you to take care to preserve your group rather than to expend resources to help your enemies. Israel, for instance, has no desire to take in these Syrian migrants.

I wonder how many Jews who helped Muslim refugees will eventually get raped and murdered by Muslim refugees?

Recalling their expulsion from Arab lands and horrors of the Holocaust, communities are helping a new wave of migrants in search of a better life
MILAN — Located on the frontline of the immigration crisis, for many in Italy’s Jewish communities, the horrifying images of migrants and refugees washing up on the country’s shores over the past few weeks have evoked memories of a terrible past. Not so long ago, many Italian Jews were refugees themselves.
The Italian communities, decimated by the Holocaust, were bolstered by Jewish refugees from Arab countries who were forced to leave their homes in 1948, 1956 and 1967.
And for the past several months, as Germans and Austrians welcomed a flood of refugees coming across their borders over the weekend, a similar scenario on a somewhat smaller scale is playing out in southern Europe. According to an AP report, Italy has nearly 120,000 people who were brought to its shores after rescue at sea and who are hoping for asylum in Europe. Untold others died in transit.
Many of Italy’s Jews, aware of the similarities in their own communal fates, are deliberating their next steps, or already actively working to aid the influx of migrants.
Among them is Milo Hasbani, one of the presidents of the Jewish Community of Milan.
“Doing something for these migrants is very important to us, also considering that so many members of our community fled Arab countries and found a better life in Italy,” Hasbani said, recalling how he himself left Lebanon with his family in 1956 when he was only 8.
And so in Milan, when a small group of Africans sought shelter, they found it in a rather fitting site — the city’s Holocaust Memorial.
Fleeing war and poverty, 35 women and 7 children, mostly from Eritrea, found safety this weekend underneath the city’s train station to the memorial that commemorates Italian Jews who were deported to Auschwitz. The memorial stands on notorious platform 21, which during World War II was used to secretly load trains to deport Jews to the death camps.
Since the beginning of the summer, part of the Holocaust memorial has served as a shelter to hundreds of migrants from Africa and the Middle East as they anxiously wait for trains to take them to northern Europe. Over 2,500 migrants have been accommodated so far, thanks to the efforts of the Foundation for the Memorial, whose members, among others, include the Jewish Community of Milan, the Union of Italian Jewish Communities (UCEI) and the Catholic organization Sant’Egidio, whose volunteers run the shelter.

Europe Abolishes Itself

Posted on September 7, 2015 by Luke Ford

Notice how few rabbis are calling for Israel to weaken itself by taking in Syrians who hate it. They only prescribe that for the goyim.

REPORT:

France is ready to take in 24,000 refugees as part of European Union plans to welcome more than 100,000 in the next two years, French President Francois Hollande said on Monday, dismissing opinion polls showing public opposition to the move.
Hollande said he and German leader Angela Merkel wanted the 28-country EU to back a “permanent, mandatory system” under which each country would be obliged to take its fair share of a total of 120,000 migrants.
“This is a crisis, and it is a grave and dramatic one. It can be brought under control and it will be,” he told a news conference.
Asked about polls showing 55 percent of French people oppose admitting more refugees or easing asylum procedures to cope with the EU’s migration crisis, Hollande said public opinion was fickle but asylum was a constitutional right and a moral duty.
France’s image and standing in the world were at stake, he said…
France’s chief rabbi joined Pope Francis in urging followers to open their hearts and homes to the refugees.
French volunteers are collecting clothing and individual offers of accommodation, and more than 60 celebrities including actress Isabelle Adjani published an appeal on Sunday urging the French to open their arms to the refugees.
“Have we learned nothing from the comfortable cowardice of the past and from tragedies that we preferred to look away from?” they asked.

JTA: French chief rabbi calls for solutions for Mideast refugees

Posted on September 7, 2015 by Luke Ford

As an increasing number of Jews are murdered by Muslims in America and Europe, I hope we will remember those Jewish leaders who pushed for increased Islamic immigration.

If you go into your bedroom and find it filled with poisonous snakes, do you get mad at the snakes or at the people who put them there?

(JTA) – The chief rabbi of France called on his country and the European Union to find solutions for the tens of thousands of immigrants streaming in from the Middle East.
Rabbi Haim Korsia spoke of the immigrants – among them many refugees from Syria – at an annual ceremony in Paris’ Synagogue de la Victoire on Sunday in memory of approximately 76,000 Jews whom Nazi authorities and local collaborators deported to death camps in Eastern Europe during the Holocaust.
“France is a land of asylum and hospitality; France, the cradle of human rights, cannot ignore these women and men who fall at the gates of our borders, with the only hope — that of living,” said Korsia. “France, which radiates around the world through its values of humanism, universality and sharing, cannot be silent while facing the trial of its fellow human beings.”
Stopping short of calling for France to offer asylum to the refugees, Korsia urged “civic and human burst, strong gestures from our country and the European Union, so that solutions can be found as quickly as possible.”
Referencing French non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews or speak out against the Nazi genocide, Korsia also said, “We must be the Saliege and Theas, the Trocme and Boegner of our time and say, in memory of our dead and loyalty to our values. Migrants are our brothers in humanity.”
In Brussels, Menachem Margolin, a Chabad rabbi and director of the European Jewish Association, called on other rabbis to join him later this week on a solidarity visit to a refugee center in Brussels, where he and his staff intend to speak to people who left Syria and hand out food and other items.
“European Jewry well remembers having to flee their homes empty-handed in our recent history,” Margolin wrote in a statement. “We must use those experiences and all possible tools at our disposal to help these migrants to build their own futures.”

What Do Women Want?

Posted on September 7, 2015 by Luke Ford

From Chateau Heartiste: Friend, you ask, “What do women want?” You are confused, and this hobbles your field effectiveness.

Listen closely.

Chick logic is unfathomable when you are in your teens, but now as a man in your twenties you have no excuse!

Challenge.

Chicks dig a challenge. Like men dig a bikini bridge.

It’s a mark of personal growth to occasionally reexamine your beliefs to affirm their validity. Why do chicks dig a challenge? Sociobiology gives us our answer.

Girls want men with power because such men have their pickings in women. These alpha males can have sex with many women and thus have opportunities to have many more children. Consequently, any sons they conceive will be blessed with their fathers’ genetic gifts, and these sons will grow up and, like their charming mofo dads, also have their pickings in girls.

The sexually successful son, in a state of nature, is the reproductively successful son, and his children will spread his mother’s genes as well. The more procreatively prolific the son, the more widely his mother’s genes are distributed across the next generation. Her genes are spread much more widely than if, in her youth, she had instead bedded down with a herbalicious partner who gave her herbalicious sons who played video games while the alphas were banging babes in the school stairwells.

Here’s where the challenge part comes in. A man with power (and this can take many forms. e.g.: money, fame, status, charm, humor, musical talent, looks, physique, jerkboy charisma) knows he has options and never feels desperate to “lock in” any one woman. He calmly moves from babe to babe. It is his assured, unperturbed demeanor which acts as a sexiness signal to girls, and unsurprisingly girls quickly recognize this signal. Their subconscious lizard brain tells them “Hmm, this man is unusually composed around beautiful women. Look at how they try to impress him! He must enjoy the intimate pleasure of their company regularly.” Their conscious brain is saying “OMG, he’s sexy! I want to mount his meat pony!”

Returning to your confusion, the lesson is this: by throwing yourself at girls and bending over backwards to do things for them, you are unconsciously sending the signal that you don’t get many romantic chances with them and you must try-extra-hard to impress the ones you do manage to get because you are afraid to lose them. You are the opposite of a challenge: you are a concession.
