Dalrock : I recommend taking any prospective wife hiking and time how long until she complains, feigns an injury, or quits. If she continues her great attitude, the second test is to repeat after engagement. Doing so, of course, will rule out any ladies of larger carriage, which of course is a bonus.

seeking for money and sex and power through the guise of holiness
One of the causes of the Enlightenment was people knew that there will always be people that hide their seeking for money and sex and power through the guise of holiness. That is how the church was in those days. The Enlightenment wanted to put a stop to using religion as a means for worldly power.
There is a similar problem in the Torah world. My recommendation is to separate Torah and Money. As we know anyway, true ordination stopped during the time of the Talmud. So anyone who claims to have ordination nowadays is by definition a fraud. The only person however that I know that spoke about this was Reb Nachman. For some reason, other religious leaders never brought this up, and in fact many were part of the scam. It is not my custom to bring up Reb Nachman here because that many make him into a deity. Still, that does not detract from the good things he said.
[People do associate him with the movement that the Gra put into excommunication even though he was really his own man.]
Though I have been recommending Litvak yeshivas on this blog, I am still aware of the drawbacks. One person mentioned to me a better idea of having a "Beit Midrash,(study hall)" not a yeshiva. A Beit Midrash is what it sounds like. A "study hall" for learning Gemara. No one gets paid to learn Gemara. And no one gets thrown out if they are learning Gemara. Simple. Just the opposite of modern day yeshivas where no one is there unless they are getting paid, and it is a private club for the rosh yeshiva and his friends, No real study of Gemara is allowed. [If you don't believe me just try to learn Gemara in any yeshiva that comes to ask you for money. You will see the reality behind the fiction.]
[A word of caution about Lithuanian yeshivas I think is in order even though the great ones like Ponovitch and Brisk and Merkaz HaRav are admirable. They learn Torah well and keep it well.

black man, white woman
The ultimate and irreversible repudiation of one’s identity is to have children with someone of another race. This is a particularly stinging repudiation when done by a woman, and it is especially true in the context of the state-engineered genocidal assault on White nations, from aggressive desegregation in the United States to the massive importing of immigrants into European homelands. Fifty years ago in homogeneous places, a White woman who crossed racial lines may have been benevolently dismissed as a rare curiosity. Today, she is an unwitting tool in a global war on our people.

There is no spoon. There is no wife.
There is no spoon. There is no wife.
If you do decide to marry, you need her be ready to serve her needs by law, culture by command of religious leaders. You are not getting a wife. You are getting a legal, and financial and now religious liability. She knows and is proud of it.
Most young men looking to marry are looking first of all to lock down a woman for permanent, steady access to sex (they’re in for a MAJOR disappointment) and perhaps secondarily for a helpmeet (gonna get let down there too) or to have kids (which both the wife and the State will waste no time in reminding him constantly are theirs, NOT his).
The modern Western women brings a large wardrobe, shoe, handbag and accessory collection to the marriage, as well as an expensive, difficult-to-fix-car. She has a well-stamped passport and can tell you what restaurants in town provide the best cuisine, if she doesn’t come with an eating disorder that makes her look down on you. I refer specifically to the various schools of vegetarianism / ovo-/lacto-/pesco-/vegan, “dark vegan”/ fruitarian. Billy will be doing his own cooking in his own pots and pans, because those “will be contaminated with meat”. Needless to say too, she comes with that greatest of assets, a pre-stretched vagina, thinking that her “experience” makes for great bonding because “she knows herself”.
We live in a strange world where any young man who is responsible, industrious, saves money, morally upright, compassionate and caring is MARKED by female predators as a man to marry/ have a kid with/ divorce and strip him of everything he ever did in his life
[And to raise the kid she had with some Alpha Male. Cucked for life. That is forced to raise and support the offspring of some other man. ]
I was perfectly aware of this problem many years ago. My solution was to marry the daughter of the Lithuanian Rosh Yeshiva. בת תלמיד חכם. But that did not work very well.
[Reb Freifeld decided I was no good. And at the Mir I simply was out of my league. ]
It does not work though if the Rosh yeshiva is a fraud as many are nowadays. In Israel especially being the head of a yeshiva has noting to do wit Torah and everything to do wit money and power.
Therefore: there is no wife.
Religious leaders are the worst in this regard. They advice to men to be cuckold.
[A cuckold is the husband of an adulterous wife. In evolutionary biology, the term is also applied to males who are unwittingly investing parental effort in offspring that are not genetically their own.]
The cuckoo is famous for being brood parasites, laying their eggs in the nests of other species,
Thus the cuckold husband is raising the children of some Alpha Male.
Feminism nurtures every grievance, no matter how impossibly small, to ensure that feminists spend every day consumed with misery and anger. Moments of joyfulness are fleeting, and usually involve celebrating the harms done to men

the religious are crazy
My opinion about Israel is that it is important, but hard to make it there. I don't write about it because I have nothing new to say. I cherish every minute I merited to be there. The people that are against the State of Israel are insane.
I had a great time when I was there and I felt what I could only describe as a tremendous spiritual light while there.
But what makes it so hard? I am really not sure. I think there was a kind of period of awakening when Bava Sali was alive. After that the עת רצון "time of grace" disappeared.
The best advice now is to learn the Oral and Written Law, and wait for God's grace to return.
We actually see in the Torah the major concern of God is to keep the Torah. Issues about Jewish identity or nationality do not come up there.
My major opinion about Israel is not based on Rav Kook. I never got into his books, though I briefly saw a few paragraphs on an I-phone my learning partner showed me.
My opinion is based on Reb Moshe Feinstein and Reb Aaron Kotler. Both said the same thing. דינא דמדינה דינא "the law of the country is the law." [Tractate Bava Batra chapter 3 חזקת הבתים]
That is neither saw it as some grand metaphysical goal to have a state. But neither did they consider it bad as Reb Joel did. That is it has the status of any legitimate country.They did not think nationalism is a substitute for keeping the Oral and Written Law.
But they did not see it as a bad thing. That is: the religious are crazy. The make a mitzvah out of being dirty anti-Semites. No better than Nazis. Rather it is a mitzvah to stay away from them.

The גמרא does
give rules to how to decide a law. The trouble is these rules often conflict.
Going by the majority is one rule in rare places.

Going by the majority is one rule in rare places.
I have
mentioned some of these rules before in other essays. For example the list of
sages of the משנה has an order. רבי יוסי comes first then רבי יהודה etc.
A משנה with no name סתם משנה is considered the law. The trouble is often this conflicts.
For example money in a doubt חולקים is of the סתם משנה with no name. Therefore it should be the law. But in a ברייתא it is said in the name of
סומכוס against the חכמים so it is not the law except in one case where the
רמב''ם brings in a certain case.
Therefore it is best to have a session in the טור בית יוסף get a good idea in each place how the law is decided.
The main thing is not to ask anyone's opinion but to do the learning yourself so you know what the Torah requires of you. Or to go to a legitimate Litvak yeshiva and ask the Rosh Yeshiva
