I think pictures are a good thing.
True, lots of people who are crazy don’t LOOK crazy, but lots of people who are not so normal…well, look not so normal.
When someone sends you a picture of a myoung bochur who is unkept, shirt tucked half in and half out, wearing all sorts of interesting clothing and a strange look in their eyes…you know something isn’t right.
I could of wasted a date with this person.
I also get anxiety thinking every human is going to pass is possibly my date.
In addition it�s like super awkward when someone comes and they�re extremely short, tall, fat or anything and it takes a moment to compose yourself and accept that this is what he looks like etc, and not show your surprise, shock, or frustration on your face.
I just like knowing what�s happening and not seeing a picture makes me incredibly nervous. I don�t really care if he�s extremely good looking or really not so when it comes down to whether or not I think he�s my zivug or not.
I don�t see the problem with pictures at all.
