    <BUMP> <BUMP> <BUMP>I am sometimes a non-poster sometimes not a non-poster, depending on the tides and el nino. The full moon has an effect too. what qualifies one as a non-poster? and is joseph real or is he an Emmanuel Goldstein-like creation of the CR?

    in reply to: the shidduch system #1203082

    It isn’t remotely believable that he is a regular litvish yeshivish boy and just happens to wear an up hat. And insisting on that makes it look like you are hiding something.

    he isn’t litvish, I guess you could call his family heimish, he is just a regular boy who learnt in litvish yeshivas, skewing slightly towards heimish. my beef was not that girls don’t want him, just that they are not even giving him an ounce of thought, assuming he is chasidish just because of his hat, and not even bothering to find out if it is true – as all those who know him say- that he is not chasidish at all.

    the only reason he wears it is because he has always worn it, because his family is sort of heimish and isn’t thrilled with the idea of changing his hat just because some girls are superficial.

    plus, as the main thrust of my question was, why is the hat so important that girls aren’t even remotely interested in hearing a word about the bochur , not even one! the second they hear about the hat

    in reply to: the shidduch system #1203067

    I know I said that I would not return to the coffee room, and I still stand by that. However I was alerted to this post by a friend who asked me to raise a point and an issue that he has been having, and I would like to know what all of you have to say about it. is it possible that we are all to blame? can it be that both men and women going out are too superficial ? there are ample examples being brought up of boys being picky over girls looks , but my friend for instance is 21 years old, tall, an extremely nice person, who cannot get a date because he has an up hat. does that make sense? and it is the girls who are bothered by it , not the mothers. What do you think, is that a valid worry, when the bochur is one of the nicest, smartest boys in yeshiva, when he wears that type of hat just because he has been wearing it all his life (and no he is not chasidish) is that a reason to reject him?

    I will now once again leave, and come back periodically over the next few days to see if anyone replied thanks

    Random “why not” bump Someone who gets a dog needs to have lots of room for it, be prepared to clean up disgusting dog poo and walk it A LOT. Is that workable with a family in Boro Park?

    you better believe it is ,who said YOU have to clean up after YOUR dog, not everyone does it

    in reply to: Social anxiety #1033687

    I dont agree with to be or not to be. Lets face facts:

    what I meant to say was that from my experience, which I do have, people tend to view “problems” as permanent and have a harder time fixing “issues”. problems” means there is something wrong with the actual person , “issues” are more “outside-influenced in that they are usually more of a skewed perspective of outside factors. that’s how I view it and approaching it from the “issue” perspective generally is a better course of action

    in reply to: Into Nothingness, which is to say, Everything #1021492

    TBONTB: Maybe I’m missing some mystical koan here or something, but my computer is a something, and my lunch is a something, but my computer is not my lunch. (It would need salt.)

    So put on salt. what I meant is that nothing is everything, because if something were everything then it wouldn’t be nothing ( which it isn’t, because it is something) Plus anything could technically be something, though it cant be nothing although technically you are right that everything would imply the inclusion of nothing. However , real world semantics show that anything can be nothing, however everything can not be nothing

    Plus, If you have nothing, then you have everything, because you have the freedom to believe anything without the fear of losing something. yet, The most interesting part of everything is nothing. If nothing exist, how can anything be there do anything, without

    in reply to: Into Nothingness, which is to say, Everything #1021490

    since nothing is something, and everything is also something, therefore nothing is everything, and vice versa

    How about maarat hanetufim ( the stalactite cave)? not exactly a hike per se, but incorporates walking, child -friendly, and some of the most beautiful niflaos haborei you will ever see

    in reply to: Social anxiety #1033672

    Not necessarily do you need to start things. you could go with the flow. Bouncing off someone else is not always a problem ( unless you physically bounce off them, which could hurt)

    and plus I want you to understand this very well YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS! you have issue that you need to work on, but that change of perspective would do you well

    in reply to: Getting closer to Hashem #1039693

    It is a common mistake among those who try coming up with these new ideas that yiddishkeit is here primarily to make us feel good. And that is wrong, because we are on this world to serve hashem, and the way to serve is the way he said we should serve him

    in reply to: weight plateau #1019950

    Remember difference could be in inches as well, more toned etc. For all it’s worth, when I reached a plateau I was also worried and then after continuing for another few weeks the pounds just started sliding off again. no explanation. plus, BMI is a very imperfect statistic as a personal trainer who weighs a lot due to muscle can be considered obese if you check his BMI, but in reality, he is very healthy

    Also remember that the goal should also be to gain better eating habits and a more active lifestyle in order to keep your weight down. slow and steady is generally better then quick, drastic drops in which the body is thrown off it’s equilibrium and the metabolism is slowed down leading the body to use muscle instead of fat
