I think the Shidduch Crisis should be renamed the Shadchan Crisis. It is no secret that there are both boys and girls out there just getting older every day – either waiting by the phone or sitting through mindless dates with ppl who ‘dont make sense.’ I think the shadchonim of today need to be taken out back and shot. After all it is very often THEY who control the situation. They get miffed by a girl just once, she is black-listed. Meanwhile, an eligible guy (possible bashert?) never gets call because ‘there arent the right girls out there. I wonder if the shadchonim decided to think for once about the SINGLES instead of themselves or their grande silver menorahs they might earn for shadchonus maybe more people would be married today. Think about it – we do not have the bais hamikdosh for a variety of reasons including the lack of chesed in today’s world. Since when did ‘setting someone up’ become a $10,000 fee up front? These people make me embarrassed to be a frum Jew.
