They will or won't make the religion work. "One friend of mine, a devout Reform Jew (Yes, there is such a thing!) had an unsuccessful- and fortunately childless- nine-year marriage to an unaffiliated Jew. His relative shortness- 5'6"- and blue-collar job made him unattractive to Jewish women he met at singles' functions (that he was financially flush and of great personality meant NOTHING)" I experienced that treatment (the Jewish women disdaining me), for other reasons, in my college years and even later. This attitude was not restricted to Jews, of course. There's not much more obnoxious than this: The woman wants, preferably, a combination of Superman and Bill Gates. Nothing unreasonable - just a boatload of money, a big house, and a handsome man with a fifth-degree black belt in karate. Of course, if you pointed out to her that she, on her part, was not a classic blonde with high cheekbones, and barely filled an A-cup bra, she'd say "well, it's my personality that counts." Hypocrisy at its finest...
