Hey Now! Does she have any Jewish in her? Does she want some?

"IRINA MANTA is a Professor of Law and the Founding Director of the Center for Intellectual Property Law at the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University."

Maybe she could do some posts on intellectual property? Transition into it gradually - start by talking about intellectual property in your dating profile.

Perhaps Micko - or Polacko, I forget her ethnicity - could set up a matchmaking service so that women can avoid getting into bad marriages in the first place.

Another post about an allegedly intelligent woman who ended up being involved with losers?

In college, we used to joke about how if a woman walked into a room with a 50 upstanding, honest, respectful men and one complete asshole, she would inevitably end up leaving with the asshole…And later complain about how “all men are pigs.” Apparently nothing has changed.
