Reply To: Derogatory labels and typecasting in Shidduchim

Im not talking about covering up for serious issues, I’m referring to people who are negative simply because they dont like the person being asked about, or the person isnt their type.

Shrek, The opposite! People have become so afraid of loshon hora that they don’t give out meaningful information.

Meaningful??? Where do we draw the line? If someone isnt to our liking personality-wise, do they have a “meaningful” issue?

observanteen, I’ve a close relative who married a girl who REALLY wasn’t for him, and ppl KNEW what he was looking for.

Were there dates involved? I imagine were talking about Litvishe people (mostly), in the CR.

we must ask a rav before giving info (especially if you know s/he has issues).

The above descriptions arent emotional or physical “issues”, in my mind. Are they in yours?
