“What about someone who wears colored shirts and no hat even on shabbos, but wears his tzitzis out?”
No human can measure another person’s yiras shomayim, and that’s not what I was referring to.
But who would I expect a bochur like the one you just described be his most likely (but not necessarily, iron clad) shidduch prospect?
A super-frum, davens every day, speaks no (or litte) loshon horoh, young woman who probably clocked more kiruv hours this month, than I did in a whole year. But she wears a North Face down jacket, with the ski-lift tags dangling from the zipper pull.
Nothing wrong about that; its just not in sync with the “brim down in middle of the week” bochur.
