Reply To: How to Deal with a Request for a Shidduch Picture

How is it any different than a driver’s license picture?

If they looked the same as driver’s license pictures, and everyone needed them, nobody would go out.

You need a license to drive, and a license has a picture.

A license has a picture so that when the cop pulls you over, he knows it’s really you.

If you’re worried that you’ll end up going out with a different girl than described in the resume, I suppose you should ask for a picture.
