    chein- thats not true. it may pay more and be cheaper if youre young, but you can cash a half mill. in your eighties. how does this fall outside hishtadlus; why is working more bitachon-full? Maybe moshiach will come in two minutes and youre set? totally not maskim. you work because as my rebbe said “Hope burns bright in the breast of man” its sensible and logical. so is a policy. farig

    no offense this is a typical womans rights thread. imagine if id start one saying ” boys be picky and demand lots of money looks etc.” i think you should change the threads name. it should be called dont make stupid decisions that could ruin your life thread; use your brain when picking the person youre spending your life with.

    shlishi- a father is responsible for his kids keeping quiet in shul. so much so that he can disrupt his S”E to shush them.

    in response to the OP- i put on a tallis at thirteen-family minhag- and shortly after was in sqvere/ new square for shabbos. i had literally hundreds of little chassidishe kids staring, pointing and saying “A kleine’ tatte”. it wasnt funn but you laugh it off. and kids will be kids. and when adults do it to me-i wave.

    k so conservative”judaism” isnt generally accepted as legitamite, and certainly not in relation to halacha. i think its ossur to drive on shabbos.

    k so this is funny. its harry.not hairy. it refers to the name. as in someone who would try to fit in with the yeshivish crowd but there are so many giveaways that he’s got no idea how to act. the most blatant one being his name “Harry”. harrys generally wear white socks, use highlighters in there gemaras, have never touched a cigarette, always have headphones in their ears while going someplace, have “shtarkmarks” to show the place of all the rishonim in their kovetz, always wear their brim down, use words like perhaps,suggest,possibility, and solution when trying to explain a tosfos, say tosfos, and always always have interlinear siddurim. I’m not bashing; just stating the facts.

    if a guy is demanding cars, vacations, and a lif eof luxury; get a job and go for it. But i happen to be in kollel, and i can tell you that alot of us are squeezing budgets to learn and not demanding the high life. dont stereotype. and if you (girl) wants a good learning boy then by df. the money has to come from somewhere else.

    sam- th episkei tshuvos aka the chassidishe milaket makes up a mekor from psukim. if i recall correctly he takes a posuk that talks about angels jumping over mountains (?mashehu kozeh) and says that could be a mekor. ba humbug.

    ok ok ok everyone chiiiiil out. anti smokers wont be convinced, and smokers dont give a hoot about all your rants and indignation. its just one of those things you cant fight. and im maskim- coffee and cigarettes in the sukkah are perhaps the pinnacle of oilam hazeh.

    mytake-thats because tou saaume your image of him wont be tarnished by past deeds. thjink of the worst possible thing you can imagine. imagine he did it. now he has changed,not just his actions but his pnimius too. he is no longer the same person. im sure ypu agree with me in theory, but when it comes limaaseh its simply not so easy. therefore, IF, as i said b4, IF she wont find out, and it wont effect their marriage, why risk diminishing him in her eyes for a matter of no consequence.

    the gemara in gittin says a man can divorce w/o a kesuba if she wont cover her hair. maybe your right about the faults in communities; that doesnt take away from the seriousness of what these women are doing wrong.even though mumar li’not covering hair isnt mumar likol hatorah kulah, there could still be a valid personal feeling of mistrust. someone doing something else wrong, worse or nor, doesnt take away from the choimer hu’issur.

    my wife, who has a firm grip on hilchos tznius has just informed me that covering up too much, as the scary ladies in meah shearim who actually, no, im not kidding, wear burkas with slits for eyes(part of a fringe movement that no-one holds of), is also a lack of tznius cuz dressing like that attracts attention. it would stand to reason that eye-catching sunglasses shouldnt be different.

    A. He’s in college so he probably isnt “Mr. Yeshivish”.

    B. He might have done it because HE feeks awkward and new in a new school and is trying to aclimate.

    C. He might have not put that much thought into it in the first place; you may be looking into this too deeply.

    D. All of the above are probably true. Clearly this guy isnt a typical lakewood yeshivish dude so cut him some slack. He doesnt have to shtim with your def. of ben torah; in fact who said he wants to- your all assuming hes intyerested in being what you call appropriate. maybe hes not. its harmless. fartig.
