Can I ask you a few questions about *******?

Well a shadchanit called me (I assure my readers, I have nothing to do with them at all) to ask a couple more questions about a friend after he and a girl went out on 4 dates. I have made it clear to this friend how bloody stupid this whole system is and that this is indeed a major waste of time. As evidenced by her inane and pointless questioning this will clearly be proved by the end of the article. I will discuss a couple stupid questions this shadchanit asked me and how I answered them:

Her: What type of kippa does he wear? Kippa sruga or a velvet one?
ME: How does that have any affect on his avodas Hashem?

Her: What type of shirts does he wear (polo or white button-down)?
Me: I don't know, I don't dress him in the morning. However, if you asked these questions directly to him, that will surely net you the most accurate answers.
Bear in mind, this is after 4 dates already, and he wore a polo shirt on at least one of them. Now some of my readers are probably rushing to defend this woman and saying that the girl must be very chasiddish, and that is why she is asking these questions. Fear not! This girl demanded that they go to a bar on the fourth date, so I would surmise that her level of chasiddishkeit is not high enough that she would be turning down guys solely because their shirts don't button all the way to the bottom.

Her: Does he go to movies?
At this point I was getting very annoyed.
Me: Why don't you just call him and ask him?

WOOOOW! What a concept! Who would have thought of asking him instead of bothering his friends? Clearly this lady is a retard and evidently strives to waste as much time from as many people as possible. (BTW, she called up my friend and asked the exact same questions. Funnily enough, she received the exact answers almost word-for-word.)

In the end she asked me if I could give her the numbers of any of his other friends who he's still in contact with. I presume she got tired of me showing her logic and reasoning.

Note: she did ask a couple less ridiculous questions throughout the short conversation which I answered as best as I could and in a very respectful manner. The questions above were stupid questions and therefore they got the answers they deserved; however, all of them should have been asked directly to him, and preferably by his date, not by some shadchan or mother.
