i don’t want a guy with long hair, thank you… a nice yeshivish cut is just great.
mazal tov!!!! one of my closest friends (and first girl in my hs class) just became a mommy!!!!!! (well, last week) and yesterday my co-teacher had a baby too! its a first for both of them! and my friends baby was born the day of her nephews bris (and this nephew is also a first!) Baruch Hashem for simchos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
believe me, its not only flatbush… its everywhere. and no, the solution to the problem is not shmiras ainayim. that’s PART of the solution. the other part is women must start dressing appropriately. you can’t tell the men to work hard looking away without telling the women to dress properly. men not looking does not make it ok for women to dress the way they do.
you can’t compare hair extensions to to a toupee for a totally bald guy.the purpose of hair extensions is to either 1)make hair fuller, and 2) make hair longer. its not to cover up what the girls really look like. i mean, i guess for some it could be, but can’t say its why most girls do it. a toupee for a bald guy bdavka is to make himself look like he is not bald.
also, if a girl is gonna get married and put on a shaitel that’s just as long and curled/blown as the hair extensions she’s wearing, who cares? she’s not deceiving you. first of all she probably wears the extensions not only on dates, but on shabbos, and to friends weddings… and some even every day.and also that’s obviously what she wants to look like all the time, so where’s the deceit?
and, pplz, even in the Torah the women would make themselves look beautiful. who are we to say that its deceitful and only for clowns? if the ppl in the time of the torah were wearing makeup to look beautiful, then its good enough for me!
i read junie b jones when i was a kid, and i think she has an awful attitude. i’d never let my kids read it.
saysme: sorry- you are not coming across as aggressive, i just get annoyed when people make (incorrect) generalizations. its not like df really knows whats going on in the minds of all older singles, or even the younger ones for that matter. according to what she is saying, the first guy we go out with should be the one as long as all of the “absolute essentials” are met. does this make sense??? NO! and how does she think she know that the unmarrieds “really don’t wanna be married”????? i don’t think that’s the way it works-at least in my circles. maybe df is talking about different circles, in which case i would understand that if someone is in college, and is having the time of her life partying with all her friends… yeah, then maybe she doesn’t want to get married yet. maybe she wants to get in all her fun,then settle, ya know, finish college, get a good job… sorry, but that’s not how it works in my circles. maybe that’s what df means, and i didnt understand that.
postsem: dw- i wouldn’t let you face this alone (oooh- doesnt that sound dramatic…) me and gefen will back you up!
i’m sure its hard, yehudah tzvi, but we’re rootin’ for ya! remember, Hashem helps those who reach out to Him!
well, says me, according to dorafelder “Only the absolute essentials should figure into the search today.” which means, we will all be looking for the exact same boy. good middos, general health, responsibility, balance… aren’t we all looking for the absolute essentials? are we all carbon copies of each other????? no, Hashem made us each unique, with different “agendas” as df so eloquently put it. that’s right. we do have different ways of reaching our ultimate goal of serving Hashem in the best way possible. but if Hashem wanted us all to be carbon copies of each other, He would have made us that way. so i still don’t get ur point. keep trying.
yes, saysme, i read it more than once.
dora felder, i totally disagree. postsem is right. i know sooooo many girls who dream of getting married, and have been dreaming it for years, and they are older singles (and by older i mean 26- early/mid thirties. and in fact, my family was just talking about one particular single on shabbos, who really really wants to get married and she’s almost 40.) how dare you say such a thing! and that girls should lower their expectations? if your daughter will only agree to tall, dark, handsome and rich, then yes, i would say she has to lower her expectations. but come on! every girl was made differently, with different emotional needs and different physical needs… how would you like to know that the girl who eventually marries your son, actually settled for him. “yeah ur son really isn’t good enough, but its the best i could get. oh well” IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT FOR YOUR SON?????????????? i don’t understand how you could say all this.
you did it! good job!
agree with daas yochid about hanging up. totally rude. and with being called guys, and yes, i’m a girl, i agree with shopping. its just the term you use when referring to a group. nothing bad. i use it all the time and so do my friends.
i dunno why my post didn’t go up b4. but i would eat a whole box of cookie dough ice cream, and of course, a box of yummy cupcakes 🙂
anyway, to anyone who seems to have a hard time understanding this thread, the Torah says that if someone is sensitive, we have to be very careful not to hurt them. it doesn’t say that the sensitive person has to learn to deal with the shortcomings and insensitivity of others.
no it shouldn’t daasyochid, because if someone is trying to be serious, we don’t point out trivial mistakes. there’s no point. its common sense. which apparently many ppl don’t have here.
chavrusa is so right. thank you! and for all of you who decided to go ahead and make fun of this thread, it shows a lot about who you are, and it really doesn’t show good things. i’m glad i don’t know some of you personally. you don’t sound like serious people who care about others’ feelings.
one of my fave suppers is salmon patties, broccoli and/or cauliflower, and mashed potatoes. yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! also one of my fave things which we don’t have that often, but is definitely a hit, is big boys (and no i don’t know why they are called that…). basically you take rolls or bagels, cut them in half (so you have it open-faced), then you spread some margarine on it, then put ground meat on it- gotta make sure the ground meat covers the top of the bread totally so the bread doesnt burn. if you want you can add spices on top, to your liking.then throw it in the oven till it looks nice and crisp, but not too burned. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. delicious! also i love the garlic bread recipe from the kosher by design cookbook. i’ve tried it a couple of times and its delicious, and sooooooo easy! if i think of more i’ll post them.
choppy and pba, that was really uncalled for. you are not funny. i agree with you, morahrach, 100%.
ok. thats a good enough excuse 🙂
princess, not necessarily. well, not for me or any of my friends for that matter. they kinds of boys we are looking for would not touch a dating website… obviously, neither would we. i think for the other ppl its geared towards, it might do something, cuz they would probably use shidduch world or frumster or whatever. but no i don’t think that its gonna work for the yeshivish/very frum crowd.
@mod: yeah, dw, i know. i realize we have no idea who anyone is. but assuming that it is real, i wanted sidi to know that i really thought it was special. its kinda my goal in life to make ppl realize how special and valuable they are 🙂 if someone is a faker, and i compliment them, they won’t care anyway. but if they are real, they should for sure be told how special they are!
princess17- i heard of it, and i even went on the site to see what its like. no, i did not sign on. here’s what i think about it. first of all, i don’t believe that its for the yeshivish/very frum crowd at all! boys and girls from those circles will most likely NOT be going online to find their zivug. second of all, we just had this whole internet asifa crying out against the internet, and all of a sudden, a few weeks later, its ok to have a dating website??? i think that is quite ironic, and quite inexcusable, even tho it has the word yeshivish/frum attached to it. and third- their compatibility test, or whatever. what do they do, just stick you with someone who sounds like they have the same personality (and all the external stuff) and decide you’re good for each other??? there’s much more to it than that. i don’t agree with this whole thing AT ALL.
wow, sidi. i wasn’t sure what this thread was about, so i opened it up, and after having read it, i just wanna tell you that i’m very impressed. you seem like a very real and special person. kudos to you!
hey, happy bday postsem! you should have many more happy and healthy ones!!!!!!! if I would have SEEN YOU ON SHABBOS (hint hint), i would have wished you a face to face happy bday… this’ll have to do until next week 😉
mods have you overslept??? how come this place hasn’t been updated in like, forever?
Sorry there was a problem with the site and it wouldn’t let me approve any posts. It seems to be fixed now. Mod.
i must admit moski- you had me laughing 😀
i agree with yenting. and spraying your clothes with deodorant does not make you clean!
CHOLENT????? YYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i like both- as long as by “raw” you mean the batter!!!!!! i am a dough/batter type of girl. even in school, when we bake with our students, the teachers in the classes know to give me the extra dough at the end!
😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
lol goq!
bump
wouldn’t want you to feel ignored 🙁 thanks for reminding us 🙂
you wrote: “Especially if he is told that these are both equal ways to protect the country” WHY WOULD HE BE TOLD THAT IF THEY ARE IN FACT NOT EQUAL?
sam2 and simcha- i see what ur saying but something still bothers me about that. we don’t even come close to those generations.
i agree with whoever it was (not looking back now) that said smoking is a sure way of killing oneself. very well put. personally i do not think guys should be wearing pink at all. i don’t mind using the word hate. i HATE pink on guys! wacky socks are a no. i don’t mind if the top band and toes are colored. and like bygirl said, if the reason he is wearing colored shirts is b’davka cuz he’s going against white, then i have a big problem with it. and i know i’m gonna seem shallow now, sure sure, i’ll let everyone give me chai v’kayam for this- i don’t really like when guys wear colored shirts in general. (ok everyone, start screaming at me. i’m waiting) but i wouldn’t turn a guy down for it straight from the beginning. cuz i know that’s not what its all about. i mean, i don’t mind like polo shirts when he’s cleaning for pesach or building the sukkah or any dirty work.
and brony, why on earth are you writing that way? it bothers me to no end. not that you have to change for me, im just curious…
i’m a teachers assistant during the yr, so i’m on break!!!!!!!!!
eile varechev v’eile vasusim, va’anachnu bshem Hashem nazkir. simcha613, i believe these two ways are not equal at all. of course torah is better! that’s all we would need to win. its just that because of the low levels in kedusha and emunah and bitachon that we have stooped to, we need the hishtadlus of fighting physically. but they are in no way equal. halivai we should just be able to use our tfillos and torah!
infallible, there are many boys who marry girls that at first they weren’t so attracted to. not everyone asks for pics. what if they would have? maybe a few great shidduchim would not have come about.
i heard my name being called 🙂 my policy is: why ruin perfectly good cookie dough by making cookies out of it?????????????
thank you for all good wishes! and SiDi, amen to your bracha!
mazal tov- one of my closest friends from sem is a kallah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry goq. i for one cannot stand this heat. i melt. drinking lemonade and water and snacking on ice cream just doesn’t help. its awful. there is no air to breathe. yesterday in the shade it was 107! not normal…. and goq i’m not new to the area- i’ve been here almost 21 years!
as one of my sem rabbaim said “we should be zoche to a lichtige chanuka, a freilichen purim, a milchige shavuos, un a fleishige tisha b’av!”
Amen!
whoa candy! suddenly i feel so unhelpful 🙂
