Well done
Was this a test? Can I choose a sticker? *eyeroll*
The point simply is that the total number of 19 year olds far exceeds the total number of 23 year olds)
Of frum (yeshivish) 19 year olds? No idea. We only have a number of people who affiliated themselves with the yeshivish community during their schooling years and we have no idea how the number is affected by the time those people are 23, and that number only includes people in the US, obviously not eligible singles from overseas or who were not originally included in the numbers.
I said I was finished with this conversation here and bli neder, after this post I will be. If you can prove that there are more singles in shidduchim than there have been in the past, and take all people otd, baalei teshuva etc into account please do so. But no one has any answers. And that still doesn’t stop you from dictating people’s lives. It’s actually amazing.
The longer this conversation gets, the more I smell a rat. I hope people are paying attention.
