rebetzin, you are right, but at the same time the mothers of the kollel boys are looking for a gorgeous, skinny, put together, smart and e/t girl, the girl has to try and be that to make the mother of the boy happy to get a date or go further than that. once they are married their lifestyle can change. I am talking from personal experience. My mother makes me get my hair and nails done, doesnt mean I want it, so I am listening to my mother, making my potential to be mother in law happy, when I am married a’h living a kollel lifestyle these things wont continue, not only because we will be living on a smaller budjet ( well in that case I can go from $20 manicures to 6.25) but rather because I really dont need these things or want them, just following what my mother wants me to do. thats it
