the only boys with beitzim

Maybe you read this post I wrote a while ago where I questioned whether Jewish boys have beitzim...
I was at a Jewish singles event not too long ago - ok, so technically it wasn't a singles event, and there were marrieds there too, and while any event that describes itself as being for 'singles' has me running the other way, I think it's time to face reality - any Jewish get-together where people are of a certain age and where there is alcohol present is automatically a chance for unattached youth (can I still call myself that? grownups know how to pay taxes and get their oil changed and I certainly am helpless in both regards) to meet and mingle and scope out the opposite sex.
Wow, that sure was a long paragraph about nothing.
Ok, so at the aforesaid event, I was quite nicely surprised to witness several Jewish boys with actual beitzim in their pants. Jewish boys who weren't scared to walk up to cute girls and introduce themselves. Buy a girl a drink. Maybe even ask for a phone number. I know - shocking right?
Welll.... here's the thing....

It seemed like the only guys with actual beitzim were the guys that the average cute Jewish girl would never give their time of day to - or maybe even run away from.

I know, I know - I have a lot of readers who vouch for the Jewish nerd. And while I will say that sometimes there is a certain charm to your Seth Cohen, Seth Rogen or Ross Gellar look-alike, the nerd/weirdo I refer to is that of the Woody Allen variety (i'm sure you heard about that whole American Apparel spiel). My bestie Shaindy is probably shaking her head right now in disagreement, as she is rather partial to the director of Annie Hall. But in my books, unless that socially awkward shmuck has won or is on his way to winning an Oscar (Woody excluded) or a Nobel Prize (they never seem to win Grammys do they?), then a creep he is.

(Important side note - Creeps do not necessarily = Socially Awkward Jewish Boys. There are plenty of cuties that turn creepy too. But for the purposes of this dissertation, and by the length of this post, I probably should get this thing APA'd and published, let's just not go there.)

So why does it seem as though the only boys with beitzim are the ones we try to avoid?

This very nice older gentleman drove me home that night (when I say he was older, I mean that he was born when there were still discos) and we talked about the whole shidduch crisis - what else do people talk about in NY. He mentioned that he couldn't understand how with all these events, and with so many young people concentrated in certain areas of the city, that it seems like no one is getting married.

Definitely not a new topic of discussion. And definitely, many have tried to give reasons for this dilemma.

I just told him and the other boys in the car that they better get a move on it. Looks like the Seths are giving them some good competition.
