G-d forgives. You dont. Nice to know.
Now that youre advocating for the Lakewood Shadchanim, who can balance it and advocate for the many Rachmonusdik parents of girls in Shidduchim, and protect their feelings and interests?
In the name of people who have daughters on the market, and Ive spoken to many- from their experience, with very few exceptions, they feel the Lakewood Shadchanim focus on the “low lying fruit”. That involves the girl within a year or two of seminary, the guy within a year or two of Israel. Even those, often never get called back at all, after getting the hard to get appointment, and meeting and getting interviewed by the Shadchanim, after months of calls by parents for appointments. Many never get an appointment!!!!
Zeh Mah SheYaish, based on people who have daughters in the Parsha who have contacted or attempted to contact the well known Lakewood Shadchanim.
Touch of class, a store that sells highly expensive designer clothing in Brooklyn, caters to a narrow clientele (the rule), except when their stuff goes on sale, or smaller less expensive items (the exception). The bulk of what they bring in, suits, coats, dressy outfits, are not affordable to most. Is that Motzei Shem Ra?
Reality is reality, my friend.
