Some people don’t photograph well. Others can show a photo professionally done with lighting, etc.
Many times you’re not attracted to the type of look of the girl in the photo, but when you meet her , you see her differently because she’s a live human, not photograph with no soul or inherent charm. Who knows how many shidduchim never materialized because of photos.
I agree.
Funny that women’s photos are Photoshopped or outright deleted in the frum media, yet here gazing at a female from every which angle is kosher.
Although I’m against pictures on shidduch resumes, I don’t think that’s a fair comparison. In general, a man shouldn’t look at a woman he’s not married to, but the one exception is before he marries her. אסור לאדם שיקדש את האשה עד שיראנה
You can fulfill this gemara by meeting her (obviously) I’m just pointing out that your comparison isn’t great.
