“3. Someone who tolerates these romantic feelings, quasi or actual believes that marriage should be more than ensuring the spiritual and physical continuation of the Jewish people. This is incompatible with the yeshivishe hashkafah. It therefore renders someone of this type suspect of not accepting what the yeshivishers regard as the true torah viewpoint.”

This is an interesting statement to make in light of the fact that every “yeshivish shidduch information sheet” (aka resumes) discusses everything BUT the child bearing possibilities of the potential mate.

Personality? Why bother, as long as long as each mate can produce an acceptable number of offspring.

Education? who cares what seminary, yeshiva or shul anyone davens in. Can they produce offspring?

Siblings? who cares what they do, as long as one can demonstrate that they come from a long line of forebearers who have all produced many offspring.

Yichus? not important, as long as one can demonstrate an ability to reproduce.
