Can everyone stop saying how their mother was taller then their father?! this is not 1930’s Europe.”
Adam, my folks got married in 1949, and my mom was a Yankee. And yes, she was taller, as I have mentioned. But she fell for my dad the first time she laid eyes on him (he was giving a shiur). You are right, though, attraction is a preference, and no one’s business but that of the party involved. No one should LIE about anythign, especially when it is immediately discernible. However, when someone describes a girl or boy as attractive, they cannot be faulted if most people might disagree, because to them that person might very well be so.
