Akilobear: You are so off the mark….. How about a guess how many shidduchim have been generated by the online video dating idea… Why don’t you get involved and learn up the sugya.
You accuse people of “taking” money form poor families. Wouldn’t you agree that the overwhelming times that people would go on a third date is because the parties agreed it was a appropriate suggestion. Perhaps then can be sweet talked into one date. Pushed into number two. But to time and again get people to go on 3 dates without developing a reputation as a rotten shadchan. Wow I don’t know people who are such talented salesmen.
