At this point, I’m actually rooting for this age gap theory garbage to be fully embraced and implemented. That way, at least in 20 years from now the endless bleating about the age gap will stop and you all will be forced to actually think about the real problems with the shidduch system (unless someone invents a new blame-free theory).
Good intent and reasoning cannot compete with celebrity endorsements, and with no horse in the race I resign. All the celebrities in the world jumping on the bandwagon don’t change the facts, but we live in an American Idol world. Good luck to all, even though I’ll never understand why people are blinding themselves to everything but the age gap.
