Reply To: Setting up a MO girl with a serious Lakewood bochur = good idea or not?

funnybone: “Rebbetzin: how Yeshivish is he if he “observed her…and expressed admiration”? Not”

A bochur does not need to sit at the table wearing blinders and his nose deep in a sefer. Get real! He observed her middos – helping out at the table, taking care of my children, joining in the conversation with wisdom and aidelkeit…She heard his divrei Torah, that he wasn’t self-absorbed, humor and worldly knowledge…

Is that ‘unacceptable’?!

I can just picture ‘your’ comical illustration of a yeshivish Lakewood bochur sitting at a shabbos table that includes a girl at shidduchim age:

Stuff his ears with cotton balls, blinders on his eyes to block peripheral vision, a full size Vilna shas gemara within 6 inches of his face while slurping the chicken soup…

is that normal or comical?!
