    An additional question on this topic.. I have heard that it is not recommended to buy stuff for a baby prior to birth.. Is this a valid rumor and if so , why ? Does it include all stuff or just clothing?

    @getaclue.. I nvr said a picture was required just could increase your chances because of the way guys are these days.. I guess you will find your husband being one that doesn’t take looks into his concern but the power to u

    @Getaclue. it is very possible that could happen. this brings me to another point abt shadchanim. Most shadchanim these days dont truly know the guy/girl that they are trying to help. yes they may have met them once in person(if even that happens these days) but if they havent how do they know the “type” of people they are setting up. by providing a picture it can describe alot about a person that a resume or a phone call sometimes cannot.

    i have been working with a shadchan for awhile who never asked me for a picture , yet recently i was in contact with a couple other shadchanim who said that they would not even look at my resume w/o adding a picture ( and yes i will admit self-portraits are not my favorite thing in the world) but if i wanted to “expand” i had to come to the realization that i either jump in with both feet (give a picture) or sit on the side(withhold the picture)

    I am not trying to say that you should/have to give a picture but it could possibly increase your chances of iy”h getting more yes’s because yes unfortunately guys are into looks and realize that they have to live with this girl for the rest of their life.

    hatzlacha on your dating endeavors and may we all find our husband/wife

    Agreed.. But when do they want their husband getting that degree.. When hes younger or has has a family with 2/3/4 kids and is struggling to make ends meet because the kollel he was in can longer guarantee his monthly stipend

    @getaclue. b/c many of those dates that are”only one date”. add up to alot of $$ and depression/sadness because they dont see themselves going on 2nd dates with those girls

    and why do think i am selling myself cheap?

    learning/working .. which is more important to you? one very hard thing to understand abt girls these days . do you want him having a job and learning when he has time (or other way around?)

    @little i know : girls complain abt not getting enough dates.. yet their parents are asking such ridiculous questions that then dissuade the parents from allowing their daughters from going out with a guy b/c he may have a flaw in his family/extended family .. or b/c he davens in a certain shul ??

    if parents could remember the little detail that its their daughter that is going to be living with this guy for the rest of her life .. NOT them and therefore should be looking at it for her interests not theirs.. ok yes they maybe supporting the new couple for a little while .. how does the material of tablecloth determine if the boy is mature or not ?

    @GetAClue… as i guy who is currently dating .. i have to be honest . i had always been of the type not to ask for a picture .. but as previous posters mentioned just b/c a girl is attractive/good looking in one person’s eyes doesnt mean its the same view for the person looking to date … so to save myself the dating a girl who doesnt even fit certain “criteria” i have started to request a picture .. it may save u time in the long run .. Are u looking for a guy who is learning/working or full-time learning?

    @ the voice of reason.. its alot deeper than that

    but its with these types of things that its very difficult to read the situation and act accordingly

    The reason i ask is .. Why should a possible shidduch be passed upon just because one of the parties is ffb . Is it unreasonable to wait til after the first date at least before letting the other side know .. And how does one know that the other side didnt already find out this information in the preliminary “research”
