I don't worry about him.

I will send him a premium beverage coupon on co, and all is cool.

Also much less restrictive in the "community standards" for tznius. not the halochos, just the b.s "chumros" ones that a lot of other segments of society perceive as normal

Now that's a whole other discussion. Some would argue that the 'standards' (lack thereof?) are too relaxed...

Chabad tznius standards are very peer-pressure oriented. They're very different in every place.

I know here in CLE standards are more strict than Chabad standards in say LA or CH. As some 15-20 new chabad couples have joined the CLE Chabad community in the past couple years in I think it surprised many local folks with how lax standards of some can be...

Regardless, Chabad girls do know how to dress well, even the ones that do follow tznius halachos

Agreed. But it's the wrong kind of peer-pressure...

Without a doubt.

I was a little shocked on some of my shidduch dates with the lack of standards even from girls who professed to be "chasidish"

usually threads in 'just shmooze', I leave for when I'm bored unless the tilte looks interesting, I think I should've probably looked at this one earlier...

@cholent: it says 'started by SF', that should have been enough of a hint.

I guess you're right.

Before you join, make sure you're aware of the more difficult parts of being a Chabad, for example eating in the Succah even when it's pouring rain.

Another local non-chabad DDF'er was shocked to find out that I was going to eat in the sukka in the cold and heavy downpour this past Thursday night. Not fun!

On the other hand having to do all eating/drinking in the sukkah seems to be helping to burn off those extra calories from these 3 day YTs.
