basmelech-
You finally got me to post a story I’ve been restraining myself from writing for who knows how long.
The shadchan was a close family friend for many years, before I was even born. She mentions an out of town girl with all the maalos a guy can only dream of. I agreed with out doing any research since I trusted her so much, but I did run her name by a friend who lived near her.
Until I started dating I never had any reason to know what sizes meant or who is what size, so when I heard that she is a size 26 I just assumed it meant a 26″ waistline, considerably smaller than mine at 34″ and consistent with the description of her being very slim.
Well, I figured out pretty fast that it meant something else.
