Baruch Hashem our population has boomed and there are many 100’s if not thousands of eligible girls that can be redt to the same pool of guys. A picture is one method of quickly cutting the numbers down. You dont understand, everyone is attracted to a particular look. I can have ten pictures of attractive girls and still only like the looks of one of them just like you can have ten pictures of boys and still only like the way one of them looks. There are just certain looks that appeal to us and there can be someone who others consider much better looking but to you this person is just not attractive to you. We all have a certain “brand” of looks we go for.
interjection
“Those girls don’t realize that guys need beauty for other reasons than do girls. If they realized what you were trying to determine by looking at the picture, there’s not a chance in the world they would give you a picture.”
I recommend you don’t get married based on your shittos because the guy who chooses to marry you will definitely take into the equation your physical beauty, and you will never know how much of a role that played in his decision. Its actually a requirement by the Torah that a man should be attracted to his wife and cant marry a girl before seeing her to see that she meets his approval.
“If they realized what you were trying to determine by looking at the picture”
I am trying to determine if I like how she looks. Is that insulting. I am dating because I am supposed to marry her if I like her right?!
