yeshivaguy1 you spend your spare time in EY online while im assuming the point was to grow in a purer enviorment, and ur criticizing those who yes, are probably taking advantage of the trend, using it for a honeymoon,but arent u doing the same thing? was this passtime your parents’ intention when they sent you to EY?? or what people think when they hear that a boy went off to EY to learn?? it seeems to me you are doing the same thing as some couples are. and then there are the yeshiva boys and the couples that are there for the right reasons and usually people can figure out from hearing them talk about their days or from meeting/talikng to their friends what their EY is all about. so i assume if a parent is paying for a couple to live there they are aware of their kid’s motive-it will become clear if u spend some time on the phone with them…yes there are those who’ll be able to hide it but most will not, and then its up to the parent if he wants to pay for it becase its a norm or because he can afford to happily do it, or if theey don’t want to do it.
but yes it is annoying to see some couples living like royalty in EY, but i dont think its diff than the couples in NY doing the same. theyre spoiled in the same way just asked for diff things.
