10% per year x what has been going on for the last couple of years.
The numbers of 100/150 are for illustrative purposes only. The actual numbers are about 2000 boys per year entering the island to 2,200 girls per year entering the island. With 200 girls stuck every year. Multiply that by what has been going on for the last 10 years and we have around 2,000 unmatchable girls. Sounds pretty serious to me.
as for 18-20 year old girls having a more difficult time getting dates,as far as I’m concerned that’s all good. It means the 21-23 year olds are getting the dates!
gavra: How right you are regarding the freezer.
The following ad appeared over pesach
“If come Tu B’shvat/Tamuz boys are only permitted to date girls 21 and older, and to date younger girls a boy must wait till after the zeman, then boys will have a strong incentive to date girls their own age.”
Therein lie the solution to the crisis, (certainly in right wing circles)
