    Name things that a girl does or says on a date that makes you lose interest.

    I know appearance is of pretty major importance, so leave that out.

    If her skirt goes above her knees, its over.

    Not too many guys commenting.

    Is it that:

    1- there are many more girls in Shidduchim in the CR than guys, or

    2- the guys are less opinionated or fussy (I doubt that)

    3- is there nothing that makes them lose interest other than looks?

    Guys have humility and are judicious in their public commentary. Hence the lack of public discussion of intensely private thoughts.

    I would think being catty or speaking loshon hora. in general, giving off a negative vibe.

    for ex.- on a date: commenting about other people, negatively or excessively, -or- speaking negatively about a certain group of people (type of Jew) or Rabbi.

    also– coming off too high maintenance, or perhaps, not caring enough about how they’re put together.

    Before this thread too becomes another girl/boy – man/woman issue, let me offer one thought.

    HaShem in his great wisdom created BOTH versions of humanity. Each one with its own characteristics to succeed in productive life. We NEED both models – just the way they are. A man with masculine attributes, and a woman with feminine ones. No need to mix and match. Certainly no need to bicker and bash. To denigrate one variant over the other shows lack of appreciation of the Ribono Shel Olam. As if something ?? ????? is lacking in His creation.

    Just another of my two pennies.

    #743581

    This happened to me 40+ years ago.

    It was a first Beshow (sit in) and the first thing the young lady asked me was

    “Do you intend to have a say in the way your wife dresses?’

    When I said yes she stood up.

    Can you imagine the looks on our parents’ faces whe we came in to the room after 2 minutes?

    Doesn’t it depend on who you are and what you are looking for?!

    Nice thought! I dont think anyone here bashed anyone, they’re merely stating what makes them, specifically, lose interest in a dating partner. In effect, any single who rejects, isnt saying the person they’re rejecting is a bad person, they just dont meet their needs or idea of what their life partner should be like.

    The reason for this post is the fact that I get asked by people what might be going wrong on their dates, thinking they’re unaware of something they’re doing wrong…. By getting some answers here, I might get some clarity on that. Very much l’Toeles.

    That is not the question of this thread. The question of this thread asks for lists of things which make guys say no.

    Most guys don’t have such a list.

    If you want to know what balance of things guys look for, there have been multiple threads about that.

    pba, Most guys don’t have such a list.

    Im not sure about that! For sure they havent written one, but with so many single guys out there 27 and beyond, who have dated and rejected many of the 100+ girls they dated (even if they rejected about half, it would be about 50 girls), there have to be some common factors among those rejected, other than looks.

    Firstly, the girls end it far more than 50% of the time.

    But more important, there are common factors in why a guy might stop dating someone, but nothing which can be reduced to checklists.

    So forget my firstly; I have no numbers.

    “Firstly, the girls end it far more than 50% of the time”

    If you’re right than that may be part of the problem.

    Ofcourse,

    I don’t think it’s mostly the looks. I dated many very pretty girls but I said no, mostly because they were dull, quiet, preachy, fake frum (one said to me “yasherkoach”).

    Things that if a girl said (if I were still single, of course) that would make me lose interest…

    “I’m sorry I had to postpone our date from yesterday. It’s just that yesterday Jupiter was in ascension and my psychic told me that it was bad luck to go out on a date then. But we’re good now until next Thursday when Saturn goes into conjunction with Mercury.”

    “Would you like to see my collection of potato chips that look like Ernest Borgnine?”

    “Well, I have two sisters, both younger, and a brother who is older than I am. Oh, and then there’s the horrible mutant who lives up in our attic. I’m not sure how he’s related, but I know that I dread it when it’s my turn to take the rotting fish heads he eats for lunch up to his room. But now that we’re together, you’ll take my turn for me, won’t you?”

    “Well, my favorite mollusk is the octopus, although I suppose the nautilus is quite good too.”

    “Have you ever had the rush that comes from playing a game of ‘chicken’ with a cop car?”

    “Some people get turned off when I tell them that Daddy’s a mortician, but he’s really not that bad. It’s a job that has to be done just like any other? It’s certainly not that much worse than being a plumber or a sewer worker, right? And, on the plus side, in what other job could a man bring home eyeballs for his kids to play with?”

    “Want to go cow tipping?”

    “You’re so much nicer than the last guy I dated. All he did was complain when I spit into his drink.”

    “As a rule, I don’t go in cars on dates… too much chance for yichud and all that. However, I have a rickshaw here that you can use to pull me around town.”

    It actually was “yasherkoiach”…after a game of scrabble.

    Sorry, girls speaking yeshivish is in a totally different league. Like my friend who told me a girl asked him on a date, “so, do you shtelzuch on the rishoinim?”

    In either boy or girl, I would think someone who is rude to the wait staff at a restaurant, someone who bad-mouths someone, or talks negatively about their former dates.

    #743601

    1) sometimes the girl may ask questions that a guy may not understand.

    2)a big deal breaker is when the girl doesn’t know what she wants (life, hashkafa, etc)

    Why is that “fake frum”?

    “As a rule, I don’t go in cars on dates… too much chance for yichud and all that. However, I have a rickshaw here that you can use to pull me around town.”

    Now that would be “fake frum”!

    DY – I don’t think the poster meant fake frum like taking upon ones self unheard of chumras. Rather what the poster probaly meant was, that the girl probaly doesn’t know what shtelzuch means, nor does she know the difference between a rishon and a achron. So to ask such a question when she probaly doesn’t know what shes talking about, rather just asking to make herself soun *FRUM* is called FAKE!

    WM, “Would you like to see my collection of potato chips that look like Ernest Borgnine?”

    How about- “Would you like to see my Trust Fund documents that I take everywhere I go, in a velvet pouch, together with my silver spoon”?

    Would that make most guys lose interest?

    Why shouldn’t she know what the difference between a Rishon and an Acharon is? It’s not exactly a great pilpul to say that people who lived before X are in Group A and people who live after X are in Group B.

    Thank you real-brisker, well said.

    Just be yourself. For example, if you start talking about art when you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about, that’s being fake cultured.

    Wolf – You are right that, that is one of the differences between a rishon and achron, and that girls might know, because they learn *historiya*. But what I was reffering to was, that they dont know the mailah of a rishon over a achron, they don’t know that you are midayek in what the ritvah or rashbas words, and you are not midayek in how some hintege achron worded his sefer.

    rb,

    IJMO’s original post (which is the one I commented on) referred only to “yasherko(i)ach” as “fake frum”. “Fake frum” in my book, is, as you said, unnecessary chumras, especially at the expense of others. I would call a girl who asks, “so, do you shtelzuch on the rishoinim?” “fake yeshivish”. “Yasherko(i)ach, or “shkoiach” has become pretty accepted by some (although I still find it a bit amusing coming from a female). I wouldn’t hold “shkoiach” against her.

    Real Brisker (In response to Wolf.); I happen to know a Rebbitzen who worked in a famous Seforim Store in Boro Park, who could rattle off the names of all Rishonim and Achronim in the proper order of their appearance. She actually did have serious discussions with Kollel Yungeleit about the availability of all Seforim. She would never say –for example– that the Chazon Ish was an uncle of the Baal Shem Tov. Or that Reb Chaim Kaniyevsky was related to the Avnei Nezer.

    real-brisker; “Noch Dus Oych”! What else do you want?! I’m not so sure about that. But, then again, she would be a Rosh Yeshiva, not a salesperson in a store. One thing is certain. I don’t envy her prospective Son-in-Law who would present himself as a Yeshivishe guy who wasn’t really. His bluff wouldn’t last more than Thirty Seconds.
