Reply To: an app to solve the shidduch crisis

DY: This is similar to WIY’s suggestion from your third reference, although I think that the database should have factual information only and not a complete shidduch resume.

The point here is not to rule someone in or out based on the information in the database. The ideal use would be to find out that someone you have some connection with is a reference for a potential shidduch.

So you might filter for: NY area, age 23-25, attended YU, and then look down the list at the references and go from there.

The reason I think this is better than posting shidduch resumes online is that many people might be reluctant to do that, while just posting some basic factual information and the fact that you are dating may be more acceptable.
