Joe – LOL as usual.
DY: Because the Agudah no longer has Kosher “Mixers” to allow people to freely find their Bashert in a medium that is supervised. UWS is not a Rayiah, as many there are not looking to get married (certainly not with as much urgency as the yeshiva world, where a girl who is not married has no place in society).
Oomis: another point in your favor is that at these lounges, what happens when the guy likes the looks of the girl in the next booth/table over?
