Heeb Issue #12 : Photo Feature

Heeb Hookups

Because Pork.com Was Taken

Finding love has never been simple. Our grandparents had matchmakers on the Lower East Side. Our parents had mixers in the Catskills. And now we’ve got the Internet—a sprawling playground of opportunities, options and creepy old guys trolling for nubile young things. But online dating sites can be depressing and Jewish dating sites are even worse (no need to name names). So we decided to experiment with what a Heeb-flavored dating site would look like. We invited eight of our hot friends to model spring fashion (isn’t dating all about playing dress up anyway?) and mocked up Heebhookups.com. We’re not promising any beta-version coming soon, but maybe you’ll find a few ideas for spicing up your own personal profile. That spinning dreidel wallpaper really has to go.

Online dating is great and all but I sometimes miss that traditional form of meeting somebody via a set up by family.

I would say that online dating is not for me. But that is just my opinion and I’m a jackass.

Online dating never tried, heard some sad stories from friends.

Online dating should become more and more popular, as people are busier and busier!

HeebHookups.com looks hilariously awesome from here, I can say that much. BTW, I’m a jackass.

Jouchebags

Although we at Heeb demonstrate our love for the panoplies of mosaics of rainbows that is New York-area Ashkenazi Jewry (plus that one Persian girl with the adorable English accent), our detractors often label us “self-hating.” The truth is, however, that we are inordinately and completely irrationally fond of ourselves. But that doesn’t mean that we feel the same about all our fellow tribesmen and women. Below are some of the Jews from past and present who we absolutely love to hate. (read more)
