71 Reasons Not to Talk to Boys (Part I)

Here is a guest post from Pravda Ne'eman commenter R2D2:

In perusing frumteens.com (the Chareidi response to bangitout.com)
recently, I happened upon a list that sheds light on the thoughts,
dreams, ambitions and neuroses of the eponymous frum teens. I share a
list of 71 reasons not to talk to boys, with my own thoughts. [The full list
can be found here. R2D2's comments will be posted incrementally - J.D.]

1) It's assur (the source is in the Igros Moshe, and somwhere else)

Assur - or religiously forbidden. Quoted are a book of letters from a
20th-Century rabbi, as well as the best-selling and oft-cited
"somewhere else."

2) Most parents don't let, and if they find out they'll kill you,
you'll lose all your privileges, it takes years to build up trust and
a only a second of doubt to lose it

Living the American dream, people who have chosen to raise a family
often buy their homes as a method of building up equity and benefiting
from various tax advantages. They own, so they don't let. If they find
out, they will kill you, which will of course limit your privileges,
such as breathing.

3) You risk getting caught by, and being thrown out of, your school

I don't really see the downside here.

4) You lose interest in your friends who will start to feel neglected,
and hate you

As they say, friendship means never having to say "I hate you, you
ignorant slut!!!"

5) You ruin you reputation. No one wants a bad one, and once your
stuck with it, it's hard to get rid of it

Basically, try not to get stuck with anything. If you do get stuck,
good luck getting rid of it. Also make sure you've had a tetanus shot
recently.

6) You WILL NOT stay shomer negiyah, which is also assur

Well, it seems like you will be giving up one issur for another.

7) The guy is 100% talking bad about you to his frineds in one way or another

I can hear it now: "You know that girl I used to hang out with? She's
f---ing nuts, and can't spell or use grammar worth a d--m."

8)All a guy wants at this age is play-and hell use you for that

Ah, the eschatological argument about guys and hell.

9)Every boy is a liar, a pervert, a jerk, and you will eventually find this out

They just need the right woman to bring out those qualities in them.

10)A guy will say anything-just to get you in bed

This was clearly plagiarized from a fortune cookie and needs no response.
