Consider these questions:

Is it true that traditionally, Jewish marriages were arranged marriages? I've also heard that it's still practiced amongst the more religious Jews. Does Judaism mandate or legitimize this practice?

If you are a typical, single, Indian man who lives in the USA, the time will
come when it will dawn on you that the only chance you have to indulge in wedded
bliss lies in the hallowed institution of the "Arranged Marriage". You
probably left India when you were twenty-one, having squandered your adolescence
striving to get here. At this point, you are twenty-five or older, and have been
out of touch with the general Indian female population for more than a decade.
All the women you know back home are married. This manual is written for those
of you who harbor hopes of acquiring a beautiful arranged bride.
If you belong to the rarified set of intellectuals to whom the external
female form holds no charms, and those who evaluate others according to the
quality of their inner selves, this manual is not for you. Before you stop
reading, please accept my heartiest congratulations on your self control and
ideological correctness. I am not worthy of even addressing you (kneel! kneel!).
No, this manual is for the rest of you, mere mortals, who still have enough
red blood in their veins so that you can admit, even to yourselves, that you
rather like the idea of having a beautiful wife.
Of course, before I even go about describing how to acquire beauty, it is
necessary to define it. And this is where I expect the most disagreement. There
will be those among you who proclaim, "But beauty is in the eye of the
beholder!" And you would be partly right.
If you are a man who equates beauty to facial attractiveness, there is not
much that this manual can do for you. You are a very fortunate man, for Indian
women have the most beautiful faces of any race in the world. You have a very
large pool to choose from, and you do not need much help in choosing, because
you can look at each prospective bride's face and decide whether she is
beautiful or not.
No, this is written for those who would like their wife to have a good figure
too. For you, the job is harder. Typically, Indian women do not get much
physical exercise, and consequently, if they are not scrawny, tend to be on the
overweight side. Why do you think sarees are so popular in India? Because they
can hide all the embarrassing bulk! Some men think that Indian women do not have
shapely legs by reasons of genetics. I say to them, check out the figures of the
IA (ABCD to you politically incorrect guys) women. They are on par with anything
I have seen on any other race. This is because IA women work out and take care
to keep themselves in shape. You cannot go covering yourself up around here, not
if you want to get dates.
If you are one of those academic types who have not given much thought to the
matter, or merely one of those blighters who like to ask intelligent questions
to which you already know the answers, and ask me, "But why does one NEED a
beautiful wife?" I would reply that beauty is a double edged sword. It has
its advantages and disadvantages, some of which I summarize below.
Advantages of having a beautiful wife.
