Reply To: Mod Orth Machmir Shidduchim and Shadchanus

mosherose, A modern “orthodox” person doesnt use a shadchan. They meet at parties and with friends.

NOT AT ALL!!! There are no hard and fast rules these days. If that was the case across the board for all Mod Orth Machmir singles, there wouldnt be a need for SYAS.

Many of the Modern Orthodox Machmir singles are of the No tv, No movies variety AND are not even willing to watch an occasional clean video, which surpasses lots of Lakewood guys in that department!!! They dont call themselves Yeshivish, because theyre the frummer segment in YU type schools, and are used to being called Orthodox, but they DEFINITELY DO NOT mix with opposite gender, except through a Shadchan. Yesh v’Yesh.
