Overbearing Mom Uses Internet To Be More Overbearing

It's every Jewish mother's dream to find her catch of a son the perfect woman, but one mom just one-upped J-Date by employing the internet as her son's matchmaker. Geri Brin has been searching high and low for a girl for her 31-year-old son Colby, and created an entire website dedicated to mothers on the search for someone to date their single kids. Because you're killing your mother living your life like this!

Colby Brin has already gone on dates with any girl his mother can find, from her upholsterer's saleswoman to her dental hygienist's friend's daughter. Colby tells the Post, "Literally, if she hears of a single woman, she'll mention it to me. It's almost like a synapse in her brain that's been conditioned to automatically fire." On the site, Brin describes Colby as "fit and funny, witty and willful, curious and cultured. Not to mention good looking. He's a catch. He has great friends, a loving family, and never turns away from a good debate with every single one of us." If you're interested, you can hit the "Send a Message to My Mom!" button, and true love could be yours.

Though Colby hasn't found the one yet, he says he's not that embarrassed at his mother's crusade. He said, "Look, I'm a Jewish guy who grew up in New York. Obviously, I'm a momma's boy. Who are you kidding?" That's nice, Colby, but until you become a doctor like your brother you're never going to find the right girl.

What girl in her right mind would date a guy whose mom was so involved in their lives?? Seymour Skinner much?

Rocknrope

Seymour! The house is on fire!

No, mother. That's just the Northern Lights.

The Post never had high journalistic standards, but now they are just publishing the press releases of yenta-cougar websites. We should start a NY Post death clock.

Oh she's just worried he may bring home a woman who isn't Jewish. A Jewish mother's worst nightmare! Dum Dum DUMMMMMM

He probably still has his mom wipe his ass for him as well.

Well, it is a matriarchal society, so that kinda makes sense. She wants him to carry on the lineage so that they can finally remove themselves from the endangered list.

Kojak

That's true, but it doesn't help his chances to put that shit on blast, In the NEW YORK POST that his mom is his matchmaker. He should leave NYC immediately, or change his name.

Women find individualism attractive. And by that note he should learn the hard way how to pick up women & not having his mom do it. Women will only date this man out of pity after reading this.

Guest

Good point. Maybe he should try Israel. I hear there are plenty of good Jewish women there that are forbidden to view the Internet or other media.
