Reply To: How Shidduchim became a beauty pageant contest.

There’s nothing wrong with looking for looks per se.
However, looks are highly subjective which complicates the boy’s quest. IOW- what exactly are you looking for?
There’s also an issue underneath that’s not much talked about openly – “what will my family & friends think of how she looks?” So , automatically he might refuse to even date a girl who’s a little over the skinny side even though she has a “pretty face”. That’s a reason I dislike shidduch photos. Bocher’l : Take a chance.. Maybe when you see this girl with weight, nose, height, and gait, you’ll ditch all your preconceived fantasies, fall head over heels, feel you can’t live without her… family/ friends be plastered for crying out loud !
