Is a Jewish dating service pointing people away from advertizing steretypes?
It’s easy to get fooled into thinking the normal body of the advertising page is a normal body.It isn’t! It’s an idealized body. An attempt by the advertiser to get you to think that body is the goal and that you can get it — with the product the body is promoting.Cunning, isn’t it? They tell us what is real and then make us feel desperate enough to make changes and spend money to become real. All a tissue of lies.That’s why a good dating service should make a point of being a meeting point for ordinary people.Take a jewish dating service for instance. We would hope that Jewish young people are being given a clear message, by the niche dating services they use, that they can be attractive without becoming like the models they see in their Jewish magazines and TV shows There are lots of ways to be pretty, manly and attractive that go well beyond the stereotypes of Madison Avenue. Anyway, transient attraction is passing. It’s the real, deep-down, attractiveness that last and has more appeal. Let’s hope the good Jewish dating sites and agencies promote this to their young clients.
