That Satmars are dating Luabvitchers

Tzioni’s are dating relatives of the Niturei Karta

YCT guys are dating Lakewood Girls

Yeshiva guys are dating older girls

Frummy girls are starting to delve into the food chain and date working guys

Meshichsts are dating Anti Meshichists

Syrians are dating outside of the community

Stern Girls are dating non-YU guys

Black hatters are dating kipa sruga types (is this within the orthodox gay community?)

Skvere Chassidim are not only dating their cousins

Baltimore girls are getting dates

Out of town is “in”

People on frumster are venturing out of their hashkafic realms

Out of the box types are dating normal types

FFB’s are starting to date BT’s

Mothers are starting to care more about finding their daughters dates rather then finding out what kind table cloths the family uses well…..maybe not that far

Modern orthodox high school students are dating for marriage

Aish guys are dating Chabad girls

Any more….

Limey-
What nonsense. People don’t get divorced because their hashkafas are slightly different. People get divorced because they are fundamentally unsuited for each other on a much more basic level.

ppl get divorced because everything is disposable: cameras,diapers, carspans, plates, utensils, cups, thermometers and marriage…..at least some ppl…

Raizy – i second what you said. you could have a totally harmonious marriage being from different hashkafic viewpoints, so long as there is a mutual respect and deep love for that person.

Hesh – the crisis has got so bad that there are married men who dont like the wife they saddled themselves with that go on frumster to find another one (without divorcing wife number 1), doesnt matter her hashkafic background, trust me on this Hesh, I KNOW. Players players players…….altho i am sure there are women that do it too…..oh the stories i could tell…….

I know lots of “mixed marriages”. There are plenty of people who ultimately learn that it’s either mix or stay single.

How on earth did this turn into a serious post-

Hesh- this was very funny and completely sarcastic, I’m with you man.

Hows about Half Chad Jew with rich JAP 5 towns chick? (Secret Final Hope!)

Reply

11 s(b.) June 27, 2008 at 2:57 PM

halfchad? is that like a hanging chad? no, seriously, can you be half-chassidish? I mean, I know plenty of lubavitch-friendly ecohippiedox with neoBreslov souls who aren’t observant like chassidim and don’t dress like chassidim, so they don’t run around calling themselves chassidim, but as far as I’m concerned, they are (but it all goes back to chessed, for me, so those are my glasses). I just hadn’t given it any thought, I suppose.

Funny post, man!

Hadassah, ITA about different hashkafas. For a long time my religious views did not match that of my husbands, but we always respected each others’ opinions and feelings and it was never an issue between us. And as far as the stories you could tell, it’s terrible, isn’t it? It’s a sick, sick world we live in.

s(b.) same sects marriage? LOL and snort at the same time.

Ohhh Hesh i know the perfect girls for you. Cool, funky, artistic, they are Frum but know about the world. I think one of them even has a pez collection, but they are all Lubavitch. When are you going to make the cross over and join the force!!!

“Aish guys are dating chabad girls”
Moshiach is on his way :)
(but i guess that goes for all of these interesting combinations!)

21 Chris_B June 29, 2008 at 7:55 PM

Dont be surprised when this combination matrix gets even weirder. I just heard about a handful of orthodox Japanese women who are about to head off for ulpan. Before long the stereotype of a nice jewish boy or girl is gonna be completely dated.

Another sign of change: Even male yordim are getting dates!

At last there is a solution to the Crisis and then comes the part where we have the intermarriage cisis. (between two groups of jews).

Intermarriage is already happening- but it aint between jewish sects

Is pez kosher? What hashgacha does it have?

28 Elisheva July 1, 2008 at 10:01 PM

Kissme, is size eight considered small or large in your comment?

I’ve never met any Breslovers who dressed Chassidish, only hippie Breslovers. They totally rock.

One of those desparate older “girls” once told me that a shadchante (a very establishment,FFB one) told her that she should settle for a non-shomer Shabbos man because “you could be mekarev him”. I said, even if she thought she could do that,there’s another mitzvah that’s hard enough to get an otherwise frum man to observe, let alone one who doesn’t have enough committment to Yiddishkeit to keep Shabbos.

I think everyone considers size 8 to be the borderline fat- otherwise known as chunky- but hey I’m a size 34- whos to talk.

Reply

32 Chris_B July 2, 2008 at 8:22 PM

Is there an equivalent phrase in yiddish for “chubby chaser”?

Reply

33 KissMeI'mShomer July 3, 2008 at 9:18 AM

Elisheva – I think size 8 is thin, but I’m biased. ;)
I’m just poking fun at all those who think that anyone above a 2 is fat.

34 triLcat July 6, 2008 at 2:21 PM

heshman
size 8 is very fat – if you’re 4 ft 8!
I’m 5′7″. I might be able to wear a size 8 if I had not one ounce of fat or muscle on me. When I had a completely flat tummy, I wore a size 10 or 12. (depending upon the cut/brand)

You forgot a classic: Vouzvouz dating couscous (my parents), then you end up with a Vouzcous.
