The tendency of some Jewish male characters in media to be paired with a non-Jewish female character ("Shiksa" in Yiddish). Typically, shiksas represent the exotic outsider to the insular Jewish community. Jews looking to break free of the bonds of Jewish society might do so through association with shiksas. A gentile partner might also be a status symbol in areas where Jews are still discriminated against. Other Jewish men might simply be more attracted to women without Semitic features─most American Jews grow-up more exposed to the larger society's notions of beauty than to their ethnic-specific ones, which are more often associated with maternal figures. Shiksas are often blonde and blue-eyed, traits more rare among Jews, to distinguish them from the Jewish norm. The word "shiksa" comes from the Hebrew word for "abomination," as these gentile temptresses were feared to be stealing away all the Nice Jewish Boys. Like most cultures, Jewish society traditionally looks down on members marrying outsiders, seeing it as a rejection of their heritage and community. Mixed couples won't necessarily perpetuate the traditions and beliefs that bind Jewish society together. In fact, children to a non-Jewish mother technically aren't Jewish themselves by religious law. It's a really insulting term, on par with "slut" or "whore." If one character is calling a woman a shiksa, you can bet they're not particularly fond of her. The champion of Jewish beauty, and rival to the Shiksa Goddess is the Shayna Maidel (Yiddish slang [cf. dialectal German "schöne Mädel"], it literally means "a pretty girl", though typically applied to a Jewish woman). The inversion of Shiksa Goddess is Gentile Jew-Chaser, which is about non-Jews having this reaction to Jews. |

The musical The Last Five Years, which actually has a song titled "Shiksa Goddess" in which Jamie rejoices that his new girlfriend is not Jewish and admits that he doesn't really care about anything else. He lists a long string of things he could overlook for the sake of a Shiksa girl — including ones that really should be an issue, such as her having mob connections. If you were infer from this that Jamie's and Cathy's relationship is a little shallow… you might be right. | |

Mad Men featured some relationships involving Gentiles and Jewish people. The straightest example is Peggy Olson. Raised Catholic, blue-eyed, and of Irish Catholic and Norwegian ancestry, she dates the culturally-Jewish Abe Drexler from Season 4 through Season 7A. Also, in a one-off moment, Peggy's colleague Michael Ginsburg's Alter Kocker father had a very interesting reaction when he saw her. Briefly discussed when blue-eyed, WASP-y Betty Draper talks about a Nice Jewish Boy from high school she dated. Apparently, the following year, all the Jewish girls dyed their hair blonde. Inverted for two relationships, with Gentile men and Jewish women: Don Draper had an affair with the Jewish department-store owner Rachel Menken in Season 1, and a few years later ultra-WASP Roger Sterling divorced his wife to marry his Jewish secretary Jane Siegel. These fit since both Don and Roger are very much un-Jewish in appearance and very much conventionally attractive (with the caveat that Roger is a Silver Fox), to say nothing of both being wealthy and powerful businessmen. |

Scrubs gives Elliot an Imagine Spot where she thinks of making a robot as her dream husband. She also happens to make him Jewish (revealed by breaking a glass at their imagined wedding ceremony) — while she is blonde and blue-eyed. Immediately after snapping out of the fantasy she bemoans that's really going to piss off her WASP-y parents. | |

Solomon & Gaenor: In 1911 Wales, a young Jewish man named Solomon Levinsky falls in love with a blonde-haired Christian girl, Gaenor. Because he knows neither family will accept them (hers are conventional anti-Semites, his is Orthodox and marrying outside the faith is strictly forbidden), he introduces himself as "Sam Livingstone" and pretends to be a gentile. Tragedy ensues. | |

The Big Bang Theory: Howard Wolowitz calls Penny a Shiksa Goddess. Howard ends up with Bernadette (played by Melissa Rauch, who ironically is Jewish herself). They initially connect over freaking out their families. Bernadette, being Catholic, is thrilled at the prospect of freaking out her parents. Their relationship has since moved beyond that joke. |

On 3rd Rock from the Sun, Harry teases Dick and Tommy for dating "blonde shiksa goddesses" Mary and August. Possibly a subversion, as they're not really Jewish, or even human. Their landlady dubbed them with a Jewish identity because they had the last name "Solomon", and she didn't know they took it off the side of a truck (of the actors playing the Solomons, only Joseph Gordon-Levitt is Jewish in Real Life). | |

Seinfeld: In "The Serenity Now", Elaine's "shiksappeal" attracts three Jewish men over the course of the episode. It starts with a 13-year-old boy who, immediately after being officially declared a man during his bar mitzvah, forcefully makes out with her. When she rejects him because he's only 13 and therefore not "really" a man yet, he renounces Judaism, calling the bar mitzvah a sham. Later on, the boy's father plants one on her as well, and when she tells him that he's only attracted her because of her shiksappeal, he also renounces Judaism in an effort to prove that he'd still be attracted to her if he wasn't Jewish. Finally, when she tries to talk to a rabbi about how to get rid of her shiksappeal, the rabbi tells her that shiksappeal is just a myth... and then immediately proceeds to hit on her. Even Jerry's attracted to her in this episode; after his girlfriend makes him get more in touch with his feelings, he actually proposes to Elaine. (Ironically, Elaine is played by the Jewish Julia Louis-Dreyfus.)note In point of fact, of the actors playing the Gang, only Michael Richards—who played Kramer—wasn't Jewish. (Jason Alexander is Jewish—his legal name is Jay Greenspan. He looks much more Jewish when he has a beard.) This is even though the only confirmed Jewish member of the Gang was Jerry—and even though Kramer could have been Jewish. | |

Fate/Grand Order has one of the classics, The Queen of Sheba, show up. She never actually gets a chance to interact with King Solomon on-screen, but it does show that she has an obvious crush on the man and wants to protect his legacy. However, there isn't any confirmation that she was really married to him or not (as her profile mentioned it's just a Ethiopian folklore), or if her crush is actually caused by her Spirit Origin being affected by that story. | |

The Bible: Jezebel, a Phoenician Baal-worshiping princess, marries the Israelite King Ahab. It's a false conversion due to her intentions to wipe out the original Hebrew religion and replace it with her Canaanite religion of worshiping the idols Ba'al and Asherah. This is why "Jezebel" is often used to mean a temptress or slut. Though to be fair, Ahab married Jezebel to form a political alliance with Phoenicia, not because he loved her. Ruth, the Moabite daughter-in-law of the Jewish widow Naomi, who later on marries Naomi's kinsman Boaz. Her marriage to Boaz is a Subversion, though, as it's made clear she was a Jewish convert before she married him. There's also the wives of Joseph (married an Egyptian) and Moses (married a Midianite/Ethiopian). Then there's the numerous foreign wives of King Solomon, who lead him to build places of worship for their own gods. He is punished by the fracturing of the kingdom after his death. |

Ulysses has a twofer. Before the events of the story, Leopold Bloom's deceased father Rudolf Virag (a Jewish immigrant from Hungary) married a Protestant Irish woman shortly after emigrating to Dublin.

In South Park None of Kyle Broflovski's love interests have ever been Jewish. Rebecca, Bebe, Nichole, Heidi, and Leslie were all gentiles. Even the two people he's most shipped with in fandom (Stan and Cartman) aren't Jewish (worse, Cartman is Anti-Semitic). | |

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel: Midge and Joel are a married Jewish couple. Joel leaves his wife for his ditzy "Methodist" secretary, which Midge finds particularly insulting. Joel's own parents are politely but staunchly against the pairing. Joel eventually dumps the "Methodist"...only to take up with one Mei Ling, daughter of the Chinese landlords of his nightclub. (It's in Chinatown and they're using it as a front for their illegal Chinese casino.) This leads to an awkward situation where it's played straight and inverted—as much as his parents are horrified by this Chinese shiksa, her parents are horrified by this Jewish guailao. (It's also a bit of a nod to a trope from about 20-30 years after the setting of the series that American Jewish men can't resist (East) Asian American women and vice versa.) Midge's brother married a blond Gentile woman who promptly converted and is trying way too hard to be Jewish enough for her in-laws. |

Yoine Shagal, the Jewish innkeeper of The Fearless Vampire Killers, is comically lusting after his Christian maidservant, the beautiful blonde Magda, though considering what his wife looks like he'll probably take anything. | |

Bordello of Blood is an interesting example of this and Gentile Jew-Chaser in the romance between Katherine Verdoux and Rafe Guttman. For such a gleefully trashy film, it's got a very interesting subtext about interconfessional romance. | |

Downton Abbey Lady Rose becomes a near perfect example (blonde, blue-blooded and British)note Daughter of a Scottish marquess, to be exact when she hooks up with the Jewish Atticus Aldridge in Series 5. Atticus's father is against the union—he even calls Lady Rose a shiksa—but his mother just wants her son to be happy and even threatens him with divorce if he does anything to jeopardize the wedding. The Countess Cora Crawley has an Episcopalian mother and a late Jewish father. She tells off a guest at her niece's wedding for implying that it must be "embarrassing" for a girl from the family to marry a Jewish man. |

In an episode of Cold Case it's learned that the victim of the week had been disowned by his father because of his (the victim's) intent to abandon plans to attend dental school, and marry a non-Jewish woman, whom he (the father) outright describes as a "Shiksa". | |
