Reply To: descriptions on shidduch resume?

first of all regarding the picture, it is given with the resume to the shadchan with explicit explanation the pic is for the shadchan’s reference only and is not to be sent with the resume. i do not believe a picture is an accurate representation of how any girl/women looks regardless if the person is photogenic or not.

second of all, humans are complex. how am i supposed to accurately describe myself in 1 paragraph and convey the type of person i would like to build a BN”B in a second one? my resume has my education, my parents’ info and shul with Rav, my siblings, their ages and current school as well as a list of references (family friends, teachers and some of my close friends).

third, the resumes of my freinds and others i have seen do not have a paragraph on the resumes.

RSHS, i have written down the type of person i want to marry (edited many times from the original since sem) but i believe it is a personal list. some of the things that are important to me are the opposite trait of one/both of my parents. putting it down on paper for my father to read is not something i want. i have the list but i’m not looking to spread it around so my father can tell me why each is unimportant. regarding do i know myself? yes, i think i know myself well enough to write a paragraph but one paragraph does not describe an entire person.

ambush, my father gave me the option of what i want to do and left it up to me
