Randomex- the Brooklyn Strategist sounds very similar to the Uncommons in manhattan, which i’ve been to. Very small, crowded place.

Some simple card games, word games, nothing too competitive.

Sounds like a spacious starbucks is the best place.

A married friend told me to be cautious of PerfectMatches.

Lets get back to the first question. I need a place open late in/around Queens, where we could play some boardgames.

Been a big golem my whole life and probably in the previous life too.

So you both think and don’t talk for a bit. Sky won’t fall in.

I’m surprised that so many here have a low opinion of playing boardgames. If you’ve gone out five times or so, how’s it different from dave and busters or bowling or archery? If you’re the guy and she beats you handily, it’s an opportunity to show you’re a good sport, and praise her for her skill.

It is Time for Truth: can you elaborate?

Come on chevra, let’s get back the main discussion.

Hey gofish, you ask, imagine if you were a woman would you want such a life. No need to ask. Aren’t the girls told in bais yakov that their greatest aspiration should be to support the husband in kollel and be mother to many kids? The thousands of girls who go through bais yaakov and seminary wanting the learning boy and kollel wife lifestyle, see themselves exactly as you’ve described they don’t.

To add, the chafetz chaim in his intro to mishna brura, says goyim have no afterlife. When they die they simply cease to exist.

Those of you who say the women learn as well, what if they don’t know how? It is only in the last century or so, that, thanks to bais yakov, frum girls can learn something. For many centuries prior, the vast majority of women were totally ignorant, many, despite being extremely pious couldn’t read a siddur. And we know that the bais yakov was met with great opposition.

So, for all those centuries, what did these women do in gan eden?

You’d the klal would be all over this.

Any ways of connecting with people beyond my shul?

Has anyone been matched through chavrusamatch? I put up a profile, sent out invites, no takers yet.

Not everyone davens in a shul full of people available to commit to a steady seder.

I am interested in learning mishnayos from the start with the aim of finishing it.

How can I PM you?

You can’t.

Is there no database listing such contact information?
