It's the guy who has a yeshiva background and is now out in the workforce, building a career, but his life is still very anchored in Torah. He attends minyan 3x daily and keeps daily learning a priority.
Works full-time and makes minyan and learning daily a priority. Lives with a Torah-centered lifestyle, and has that out-of-town warmth, openness, and down-to-earth vibe- no matter where they're from.
A YU-type guy who is religiously serious, holds to the more traditional/yeshivish end of the YU spectrum, and is careful about halacha, hashkafa, and lifestyle standards.
Modern Orthodox and keeps the core halachos—Shabbos, Kashrus, Yom Tov, etc.— with an open, inclusive, and flexible outlook. Comfortable in both Jewish and secular environments.
Grew up Modern Orthodox and has grown to become serious about his Yiddishkeit. Torah is a priority. He might be full-time in yeshiva, part-time, or balancing learning with college, grad school, or work. Wants to build a home without secular media (movies, TV, social media, etc).
A Torah-observant, career-oriented guy who davens every day, and he tries to make time for learning in his week. He's committed to a frum lifestyle and is also comfortable with movies, TV, and secular music.
Those who have been married previously (with or without children)
This is the boy who is learning full-time and may not have a plan for the future. He takes his learning and davening seriously and would like a girl who supports that lifestyle.
A boy who is learning and hopes to start out after marriage learning for a year or two and may have a plan of business, education, or pursuing a line of trade at the same time.
Warm, Torah-focused, and rooted in a chassidish European-style background. Centered around yiras shamayim, strong values, and a balanced working approach to life. Geared toward those who identify with the heimish/chassidish-oriented lifestyle, who will continue the tradition and proudly put on a shtreimel - not modern or secular-leaning - with some range in style and presentation. Women attending are from a similar background and are seeking this type of background as well.
