Who has a different observation than me? Other people have mentioned that they know as many or more boys than girls. Why should I trust your experience more than my own (and others)?

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

Definitely. I was referring to the mismatch of numbers the age gap theory promotes.

I did not take a negative approach about NASI anywhere here. You brought it up and I only responded to them as part of the close the age gap crowd in general. and I’m very thankful that based on my observations people are following good sense (and hopefully rebbeim) and not subscribing to their theory. Its one thing to encourage neutral good ideas (redting shidduchim in general) and quite another to play guessing games when people’s lives are on the line.
