Why do *• many single Jewish
men prefer Shiksas?
The so called “Shiksa
Syndrome”, as it is frequently
referred to by Jewish women who
are desirous of, and often vying for
the affections and attention of
Jewish men, is at times a very real
phenomena in our culture.
The basis for such an attraction
is often either physical and/or
psychological. The physical basis
for such an attraction is that
Jewish men, as well as women,
frequently experience attraction
for individuals of the opposite sex
who have WASP (White-Anglo-
Saxon-Protestant) features such as
blonde hair and blue eyes.
The second, and perhaps more
important factor in most instances
of attraction for the “Christian”
woman by our Jewish man, is
based on a fear of intimacy,
commitment and involvement
with a member of the opposite sex
which could lead to marriage. Too
often, whether such thoughts are
rational or not, Jewish men
perceive Jewish women as out to
“catch” themselves a husband and
will resort to any and all means to
do so.
Such perceptions can be
extremely threatening to a Jewish
male, and for that matter to a non-
Jewish male. As such, the Jewish
man will attempt to date and
“allow” himself to become
sexually, perhaps more import-

antly, emotionally involved with
Shiksas whom they view as being
“safe.”
However, such best-layed plans
of Jewish men, and often non-
Jewish women, who too may fear
intimacy and commitment, can
result, in a somewhat ironic
manner, in their falling in love and
in some cases marrying. Of course,
for many men, the continued fear
of intimacy and closeness with a
woman can result in a termination
of the relationship, and his

bouncing from one superficial
relationship to another.
I am a recently divorced woman
who ia extremely lonely and
depressed. How can I deal with my
loneliness and frustration?
Although' the question was
asked by a woman, my comments
are applicable to men and women
alike. Loneliness, depression and
frustration are the more common
feelings experienced by recently
divorced individuals.
Many people find it difficult to
“own-up to" other feelings that are
usually experienced by individuals
going through or having gone
through a divorce. These are
feelings of hurt, sadness and anger.
A mourning period after a divorce
is not only “normal" but often
healthy if the person expresses and
deals with their feelings about the
divorce, and in many instances the
loss of a loved one.
Frequently, feelings of
depression result from an
individual . feeling angry with
themselves and guilty over the part
they feel they played in the break
up of their marriage. Feelings of
helplessness and “a what’s the use
attitude" often go along with the
feelings of depression.
Having loved ones and close
friends who can provide emotional
support and empathy for the
divorced individual can assist them
through a difficult period.
Many people fail to recognize
the potential for growth after a
divorce. Even the most conflicted
and destructive marital
relationships can provide
individuals with the opportunity to
learn about themselves. Where
they may have gone wrong in their
marriage or how they may have
chosen the wrong spouse for
themselves can be invaluable for
their success in future
relationships.
Experiences which provide the
individual the opportunity to learn
more about themselves, and at the
same time provide the opportunity
for companionship and intimacy
for them, can be very helpful in
assisting the individual in dealing
with their loneliness and
frustration. '
Psychotherapy is often helpful
in assisting individuals in
becoming more aware of
themselves and discovering
strengths that will enable them to
increase their options for meeting
other people.
