    I’m with popa. Overeating seems to be more of a problem than anorexia/bulimia.

    I see what you’re saying but I don’t think society’s ills are a reason to fault the guys. I think there are unrealistic expectations of them.

    No. My approach is that everyone should mind their own business. If a boy is looking for a specific thing it’s no one else’s business.

    No one’s saying shadchanim shouldn’t try girls closer in age to the guy. But if the guy is a few years older and it works, good for them.

    I don’t think it’s a timing thing. I know of several couples today who are 5+ years apart and B”H have beautiful marriages.

    Many people have said that caring so much about looks isn’t a Jewish concept. This might be the case but I still don’t think you can be upset at the guys that this is what they want.

    pumper

    I’m sorry you feel that way but that’s not the guys fault. I’m not at all saying it’s yours but if a guy is looking for specific things there’s no reason he shouldn’t try to get it.

    pet peeve

    Perhaps our society has started focusing on the physical aspect more than usual. That doesn’t change the facts that looks are important to certain guys. And girls should by all means demand the gorgeous football player if that’s what they want. I think it goes both ways.

    “b/c the main issue is not the guys getting what they want. the main problem is the encouragement of values that are the antithesis of what they allegedly stand for.”

    This I’ll agree with. But it doesn’t change facts and doesn’t change my point that you can’t get upset at them for wanting certain things.

    Ofcourse

    I have spoken to a few shadchanim who say that both the girl and the boy have it hard. Not that one has more power over the other.

    So if a guy and girl think they’re perfect for each other they shouldn’t go ahead with the shidduch because they wouldn’t help in easing the shidduchim “crisis”?

    I am a female in shidduchim and I still see nothing wrong with it. I’m not saying that every gorgeous girl has perfect middos. But if a guy is looking for a gorgeous girl WITH middos, who am I to complain about that? If he thinks he can get everything, good for him. Why are you upset at him for striving to get the best at everything?

    It’s not the guy I’m worried about. I want to be identified with a certain group and if I do something out of the norm, no shadbush will redd the type I want. It’s like wearing blue shirts. Even though most people don’t find anything wrong with it they still won’t do it.

    That I don’t think it’s a problem if my toes are seen by the general public. I don’t generally do it because it’s bad for shidduchim and all but I honestly think it’s perfectly fine.

    It doesn’t perfectly dry by me for a while and I hate when it smudges right after 🙁

    Watch how they talk about family – if they speak derogatorily about them, chances are he’ll talk about you that way too.

    Also remember, that not everything someone says is an indication that they’ll make a bad spouse. Be realistic.

    You make it sound like girls have no say in shidduchim and should marry anyone willing to marry them. I agree that most people settle on something but come on! Girls compromising?? Guys have to compromise too. Like 1dayatatime said, it’s the arrogant guys who feel like they hold all the cars and believe me, lots of girls are turned off by a haughty attitude.

    Regarding nail polish on toes, no one really sees it besides family and friends (unless you wear open toe shoes) but that’s one of the perks! You can wear whatever you want without the stares!

    Depends on the person but some suggestions:

    – the sibling can speak to the guy directly

    – a mutual friend can mention it

    – you can get a shadchan to redt it
