I found that even non-Jewish men and women have the same opinion - women say my nose is "Jewish" while men don't even notice! Even people who hate us for being Jewish follow that same line of thinking. I was very briefly involved with a man who pretended to be a "recovering skinhead" who grew up and reformed himself. The truth is that he was a lazy man full of hatred who liked the idea of abusing and mooching off of a "rich Jew." I had the police take him away.

Anyway, his female friends would see my picture and make statements about my nose, asking if I'm Jewish! However, NONE of the men thought I had a Jewish nose! They were more interested in my "breeding" features - blonde and blue - and thought my ex had made a good choice!

However, the sweet man I'm with now (who happens to be Jewish) loves my "Jewish nose." I think it's women - anti-semitic or not - who have the problem.
