nervous to get myself into this debate, but here goes
i understand someone not wanting to go out with someone overweight if it bothers them. I dont understand how asking dress size is an acceptable question. May as well ask how much they weigh already. A question of is s/he petit(e)/skinny vs average vs heavy vs very overweight i’d be more ok with. It gives a general idea without getting into personal details. I’d be very curious how many boys actually knew what size 2 meant, and surprised if more than a tiny percentage did.(and left to wonder why…). Size and appearance dont match up often either. Last time i had a debate about this i asked my brother off shidduch-age what size he thought i was, after overhearing out convo of boys’ mothers wanting size 2. I was honored and humored to hear he thought i was a size 2, which i havent been since 7th grade or so, and am not close to. So its not the physical attraction aspect i have so much of a problem with (though not none either), but the ”dress size” convo
