Reply To: Shidduchim: A Morbid Interest In Other's Affairs

What I think would help solve this problem, is if info was only given to people you meet face to face. When someone is reduced to an 8×11 sheet of data, then its only the “data” that is being assaulted. Where the shadchanim to meet the girl and boy face to face, then you would be dealing with “people” and not data. While people may not think twice about treating data with disregard, they might be less likley to do so with someone they “know”
