With all due respect, laughing is good, if you are involved in shidduchim long enough, you will notice an intersting phenomenon: People are not just judgmental with regard to someone having non religious siblings. They are more fussy & picky than a teenager picking out something to wear on her first day at school. They nix perfectly fine shidduchim based on all sorts of nonsense. There are those who are particular about weight, size, background (OMG- NO Sephardim!),what yeshiva or seminary the other party attended, even (no, I’m not making this one up) what neighborhood they live in. The list is endless, and limited only by their nonexistent awareness of their own shortcomings. Then these finicky, demanding young people, or their parents, (who are baffled at the fact that their precious treasure of a son/ daughter is still single), will cry & benoan the fact that they can’t find their bashert!!!
