There wil be a gathering tonight with speakers (Rabbi Dovid Goldwasser)and Shadchanim. Do girls that go to these gatherings come home feeling better about themselves or worse when they see all the other anxious singles?

If there are hundreds of girls there, won't the especially pretty ones get most of the attention from the Shadchanim?

Date & Time:
Tuesday, November 13, 2007 at 8:00 pm

Location:
Ocean Parkway Jewish Center
550 Ocean Parkway Bet. Ditmas & Ave F
Brooklyn, NY 11218

Unfortunately Shadchanim are sales people. They sell girls to boys and boys to girls. Looks, while not all alone w/o other qualities, has always been and still is today a highly marketable quality. Coupled with other factors, the better looking the girls are, the more easy sell.

I agree. They can't help being businesspeople, and they make more money if they make more matches. So it's only natural that they'll prefer to work with more attractive people, considering how superficial so many people are about their preferences.

Any woman who is reading this now can be pretty in time for the meet. Have someone help with hair and make-up and clothes ASAP!

Don't forget the plastic surgeon. Because not every one is gorgeous just because they change clothes and put on makeup.
