Princess/NOMTW – I agree with you 100%. A select few belong in Kollel, the rest of the boys should be working to support their families.
Curiosity – I’m was working before I was dating, had a chavrusa every night, and never had a problem getting dates. I was engaged within a year after I started dating, which isn’t bad considering my wife and I dated for 3 months. You just need to look in the right places. Maybe you could go out with NOMTW or one of her friends – ask the mods to set you up.
