dating is in for summer!

May 7, 2008 by queeryenta

bubbelehs,

queer yenta is here and would like to say hello again!

school is out for the summer — friends have had their chuppah, seders have been thrown, and now queer yenta is here for you!

so what do you do, bubbelehs? you read yenta’s queer yenta how-to FAQ!

1) yenta, i’m shy! no one ever likes me! i don’t know what to say in my ad!

well, my dear, yenta recommends you take a deep breath and start again! remember that you are a gift to the world and if you have not found someone who appreciates your gift — be it the gift of your anal virginity or the gift of your hand in homo matrimony — then that has nothing to do with you. 

second of all, my dear: what do you want? be specific! a sexy tryst? someone to play cat’s cradle with? articulate it!

third of all: who are you? what makes you hot? what makes you beautiful? many things, i am sure, but try to think. yenta encourages you to press your boundaries a little: are you SURE you will only be happy with a toppy person under 5′4″ who wears stiletto heels and coral lipstick? perhaps what you would like can come in another package! be specific but be brave and daring.

2) yenta, i found someone whose ad i love! what do i do now?

well, reply! the easiest way is to do this in the comments — remember, meine kinder, that those comments are public. your name and email will be visible! 

if you are a more shy butterfly than that, then you can email yenta — queeryenta@gmail.com — and she will help you. don’t know what to say? don’t know how to say? just don’t know about making your admiration as public as a comment? email yenta. she is there for you!

3) yenta, who ARE you? where are you? why do i know i can trust you?

yenta is a group of queers from new york city who like to make sure that the queer community is well taken care of. they like to help queers in neighboring cities too, but their powers — though quite formidable! — can only do so much. 

do you need references, bubbeleh? yenta has set up many satisfied customers so far! testimonials are coming soon.

4) yenta, i am afraid that hot ad is my friend! how do i avoid making a fool out of both of us?

first of all, my dears, yenta has heard of a few friends who have seen each other in queer yenta and perhaps in part from that were able to catalyze their attraction. you never know what your little heart might find!

second of all, this is when emailing queer yenta might be just the right idea. yenta does not know everyone you know, and yenta does not know everything about your sordid past, but yenta can help a little on your behalf.

yenta also would like to take a moment to state the following: admitting desire is not the horrifying thing it was in your middle school gym class, meine kinder! my beautiful queer flowers need to remember that they have just as legitimate a right to think someone is hot as anyone else, and of course your friends are the hottest of all! yenta recommends, in the case of a moment like this turning awkward, laughing it off and perhaps having a cel-ray. 

 

 

oy, bubbelehs!

May 5, 2008 by queeryenta

queer yenta is so sorry to have abandoned you all in your times of need!

there was a real live queer simcha which queer yenta was honored to be a part of — marrying off two of the loveliest faygelehs you’ve ever had the joy of seeing together.

now that they’ve had their sheva brachot, my dears — it’s your turn!

new ads coming soon! those of you who have emailed yenta, you can expect a response shortly. thank you for your patience and compassion — having completed the mitzvah of dancing at a wedding, yenta can now complete the mitzvah of helping you all have a summer that is extra hot!

more soon, bubbelehs — keep your eyes peeled!

Hello, bubbelehs — it’s been a minute!

March 30, 2008 by queeryenta

Queer Yenta has learned a valuable lesson, mein kinder, as to the wisdom of starting an important project when in the midst of many other important projects.

But there has also been  a little matchmaking here and there, my dears, do not fret. And there will be more to come!

If you are feeling like perhaps you are not getting everything you are looking for, Queer Yenta invites you to comment here — or email, queeryenta@gmail.com — with your questions, advice, queries, and hopes and dreams.

Tell your friends to do the same!

There will be more ads up soon, my dears, so until then just keep enjoying spring.

oh, my! that one’s cute! -or- “Queer Yenta, what do I do now?”

March 17, 2008 by queeryenta

So, bubbelehs, you’ve made your way here. You see an ad you think is extra special.

What, you ask, do you do now?

You have a couple of options:

1) Post a comment in the blog! Forward but Queer Yenta endorses being forward.

2) Email Queer Yenta! queeryenta@gmail.com. She will help you make introductions.

3) Fret about it, wonder about it, ultimately do nothing and spend at least ten minutes a day for the next five weeks wondering what might have been.

Queer Yenta endorses #1 or #2. #3 is what she suspects many of you are doing; be brave, meine kinder, be brave and step  up!

Queer Yenta One: Bubbelehs, Here We Go (with ads!)

March 17, 2008 by queeryenta

Meine kinder,

Queer Yenta is proud to welcome you to the first Queer Yenta newsletter. Full of everything you are hoping might be possible.
This is what is required of you, meine kinder:

1) That you be brave enough to respond if your eye is caught by any of these ads! It takes nerves to place an ad out in the public eye and ask for what you are hoping for. Respond — Yenta will help you! — if you see someone interesting. There is no need to be coy here, bubbelehs; no need to be coy. Anonymity is respected. Comment if you’d like, or email Yenta personally and she will help you out.

2) That you tell your friends! Send them to the ads! Set them up! This is only as good as the people who read it and Queer Yenta is very lucky that the people who are getting this are first rate. All of you first rate people have other first rate people, who have other first rate people, and you see how this goes. Queer Yenta needs you to bring, if you will, all the queers to the yard.

3) Have fun! Be careful! Use latex! Don’t go outside without a coat! Look both ways before you cross the street! Practice emotional honesty! Don’t do anything you wouldn’t want Queer Yenta to know about.4) If there are any errors, Queer Yenta is very sorry.
Ads are below the jump!

Ad #1: SARAH SILVERMAN (with a penis) SEEKS A JEWISH JIMMY KIMMEL

March 17, 2008 by queeryenta

In my 33 years of f’kakte dating experiences, I’ve learned a couple things:
• I need someone funny. Wry, dry, mellow, witty irony addicts. Someone who finds me hilarious, but can also match it. Nothing turns me on more…
• … but I also need sincere. Knowing when to be real and not “on.” A delicate balance.
• After many years of self-searching and misadventure, I am both of these things.
• I’m ready to find my guy.

Some other things I’ve learned:
• I’m 5’7.5. Not 5’8”.
• I’ll never be less than 160 lbs again. Fuck the Master Cleanse.
• In my own quirky, neurotic way, I’m hot. (I can accept that now.)
• I love pop culture. Highbrow, lowbrow, unibrow, all of it. Read the rest of this entry »

Ad #12: Part-Time Teenage Boy Seeks Hot Girl Next Door//Mean Older Boy

Occasional teenage boy (not actually teenaged) seeks hot older girl or boy, or girl and boy together, to explain what all these new feelings and urges mean.

Ad #11: you say make-up shift, i say make-out shift….

March 17, 2008 by queeryenta

late 20’s femme queer with upper body strength will carry your groceries home from the co-op if you invite me up afterwards. you: hot smart queer (any of a range of genders a-ok), responsive to a seemingly anonymous pickup, happy to be pushed against a wall but able to push me back. me: as described, with a penchant for kale, chocolate, and overly expensive beer; happy to suffer the indignities of the mandated orange vest if you take it off me later.

if you’d prefer to carry my groceries home, i could also pick you out of the lineup of available cart-pushers, take you past the official walking-a-person-home zone, and have my way with you

Ad #10: Wanted: Rooster, from Annie.

March 17, 2008 by queeryenta

Wanted: Rooster, from Annie. Assignment: Kidnap Annie and have your way with her. Annie counter-tortures by singing songs from the hit musical the whole time. Must have creepy mustache, smarm, smirk.

Ad #9

March 17, 2008 by queeryenta

26 year-old femme with sparks of dykeyness seeks hotness on the butch side.   I like using my hands when I talk, eating good cheese, helping people move, and wearing summer dresses.  I’m looking for someone with a big heart (maybe you also like to help people move?) who likes feminism.  Brighton Beach lovers get extra points.
