The application of these generalities to shidduchim, where we need to consider a single individual is bizarre. I would hope that if one were to seek the advice of a Chochom on this, there would be no such pronouncements. It is tragic that nonsense like this is used to pass judgment on someone who has not been considered for who he or she is.
In our generation, we are privy to the myth of the “learning boy”, or the girl who wants to marry a “learning boy”. This entire concept is a simple lie, and has zero bearing on the individual’s true dedication to Torah or learning, nor the hashkafos of either candidate. Labels are completely artificial, and those with smarts should realize that a shidduch is being proposed for this girl with this boy, which needs to be considered on its own merits.
