A new television show--Survivor: The great shidduch race. You start with six couples who dont know each other and they only have six dates to get under a chupah or they are voted out by the others. Or maybe we could have a show for those boys who are stalling joining the adult world by hiding out in yeshivah. We could call it American Idle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-26595711995171552202007-10-25T17:31:00.000-04:002007-10-25T17:31:00.000-04:00A mixed singles event?

I can see them requiring two different expos, one for men and one for women.And I bet the mens expo would have less men there then the women would have. If you're brave enough to tackle the rabbis, I'll come down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-55719564999868979682007-10-25T11:15:00.000-04:002007-10-25T11:15:00.000-04:00This works for me.

I know this is supposed to just be about brain storming to get new ideas, but has it really come to this? Or maybe this is just what we need. Either it will really work wellso singles will be the winners or it won't work at all and because of the public nature of the thing we will be forced to stop buying and selling and find a better way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-1016822345040327152007-10-23T15:22:00.000-04:002007-10-23T15:22:00.000-04:00Anyone else notice something in the comment by hav...Anyone else notice something in the comment by havingagr*life. She said that the girls filed around and met the shadchanim. So the girls got to give great feedback. They're only half of a shidduch. Unless the guys would agree to also come and meet the shadchanim and become part of a database the Expo idea wouldnt work. <BR/><BR/>Didn't profk once post something about this where she said that she won't take a girl if the parents don't also give the information on their sons? (sorry but there is a lot on this blog and I don't remember exactly the post) Maybe that would have to be part of the expo, that parents have to register sons and daughters.<BR/><BR/>I think I'd feel more strange in a room with only 100 people then I would in a room with thousands of people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-78684437101230199622007-10-23T11:32:00.000-04:002007-10-23T11:32:00.000-04:00They had something along those lines (but without ...They had something along those lines (but without all the extras) in Lakewood sometime last year.

One of my daughters was on the West Side for a Shabbos and walked out of shule after davening. All the guys lined up to see all the girls coming out. She commented "Why didn't they just ask to see my teeth and be done with it?" If you think that you have horses for sale, then at least sell them "upscale."<BR/><BR/>Or maybe this is a plea for people to finally see that they are making shidduchim in such a way that this idea is not all that radical.ProfKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954446826821665314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-61456979021422944202007-10-23T10:15:00.000-04:002007-10-23T10:15:00.000-04:00Good Lord!
