As someone who has tried to...Frum N' Flipping,<br /><br />As someone who has tried to faithfully record the words that the characters in my mind use, I completely understand what you mean.<br /><br />I seem to have offended Anonymous, but I wasn't trying for that.

Spelling isn't my forte. It's ...Anonymous,<br /><br />Spelling isn't my forte. It's okay for you to point out issues with my spelling. I'm sure if you looked closely enough you'd find grammatical issues with my sentences as well.<br />I'm sorry I've caused you a negative reaction.<br /><br />My issue with the idea of separating the wheat from the chaff is it dehumanizes people. Even if you conclude that someone isn't for you, that doesn't mean that that someone isn't perfect for someone else. Calling that person "chaff" doesn't feel right.<br /><br />What else did you disagree with from my comment?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538026753449287703.post-66410034893618343432010-02-04T23:55:44.061+02:002010-02-04T23:55:44.061+02:00*a visceral

I think most men write...Such a sad system she has.<br />I think most men write what they think will get them a lot of dates.<br />Many yeshivishe girls want a religious husband, so they write about modest wife.<br />To me, women seem more interested in having fun then men, so writing about having a partner to have fun with will get him a lot of nibbles.<br />They figure that if they increase the stream of prospective matches, they increase the likelihood that they'll meet someone that they are actually interested in.<br /><br />I think those character profiles are almost entirely worthless.<br /><br />(By the way, from a literary standpoint, "how to sort the wheat from the chaff" might be 'gold', but reading those words caused an intense viceral reaction to me.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
