It’s not the BOYS who are too picky – it’s their mothers, when reviewing the millions of shidduch profiles (I refuse to call them resumes, it just makes me nauseous to equate a shidduch with a job application). I know someone personally, who rejected MANY lovely young women for her son, because she did not deem them date worthy, based on “undesirable” economics, their height, geographic location, the girl’s earning potential (yep you read that right), and how many siblings she had (because if they have a lot of daughters, they might have to support their husbands, thus lowering the amount her own son could expect), and if they had unmarried sons still in yeshivah, they might still be supporting them.
What happened to simply seeing if 2 people are compatible with each other by LETTING THEM MEET?
