Thanks to Esther of JDaters Anonymous for alerting us to a frightening trend in Jewish online dating: Mothers masking as their sons and daughters in order to hook them up with someone they deem suitable. Now, J moms have a lovable reputation for being overbearing and invasive (with the best of intentions, natch) but this crosses the line into Dysfunction Junction. Look, Ma, the whole point of online personals is to get you out of our love lives! Although cyber mother-meddling might work for those who need a little nudzh to sign on, if your mom has enough chutzpah to impersonate you online, you should do the same for her– for a therapist’s appointment.
that is so sad
