Golfer: I’m speaking from first-hand experience. Your experience may be different, but I can speak only from what I have observed personally. I have daughters in shidduchim and I can tell you some of the things I have heard. Not everyone is as described but there is enough of it that one can get the sense there is something wrong. I think your wicked stepmother analogy is a little overboard. But I have heard mothers who are “looking for the best deal” for their sons, and “I have resumes with prettier girls.” I am sure there are boys who want the pretty girls, but their mothers are the first line of defense when the resumes come pouring in.
