It reminds me of Yogi Berra saying, “Nobody goes to that restaurant anymore, because it’s too crowded”.
lol, that hits the point precisely.
Agree with interjection, but slightly differently, and I call it the ice cream theory and some call it the standard deviation theory. The theory is that girls are more likely to be looking for a “plain vanilla” BMG guy, than guys are likely to be a “plain vanilla” BMG guy. Guys might be a chocolate or strawberry BMG guy, or might be a rum raisin and certainly not in BMG, or even a chocolate caramel swirl with heath pieces mixed in and getting a Phd in electrical engineering.
Ice cream theory.
I once heard or saw the same described as the “standard deviation theory” of the shidduch crisis (probably saw on YWN, but if not, here it is). Boys are more likely to be further away from the mean boy, while girls are more likely to be closer to the mean boy (smaller standard deviation; taller curve). Girls are all looking for boys within a small deviation of themselves, but there are less of them.
