Reply To: Defining “The Shidduch Crisis”

We have no idea which girls do not get to the point of shidduchim within the yeshivish community or which ones go back to Israel for shana bet, put off dating for a year allowing their older sister to date, decide to finish a degree first

and

First prove that there is an age gap to close.

Are you proposing that the average shidduch is between a boy and girl of approximately the same age? Even if you haven’t observed the surplus of girls, surely you have observed that the typical shidduch in the yeshiva community is with a boy a few years older than the girl.

You said I misrepresented the age they were promoting. Earlier you had mentioned that NASI promotes shadchanim focusing on girls older than 19 or 20, and I mistakenly used those numbers about the age they promote for boys to get married.

Fair enough. Surprised, though, that you would take such a negative approach to what NASI is promoting based on one of my posts.
