The problem with hard caps is that they might prevent someone from going out with someone with whom they might hit it off.
I was speaking with a woman (yes, I know I’m going to hell for it) a while back about what she was looking for in a shidduch. She listed off a number of things including an age range of 25-35.
I then asked her if she met someone who was 36, but met all the other criteria would she consider it? After saying that she would, she then agreed that she didn’t have an absolute age cap.
Age certainly should be a factor and, I suppose, there must be a point where age is an absolute deal breaker (I don’t see a 19-year old going out with a 70-year old man regardless of any other factors). Nonetheless, while I one can have an age range, no one should reject someone solely because they fall a bit out of that range.
