Reply To: Staying happy as an older single

It’s possible that in less modern communities it’s easier for people to get married. I’m quite certain about that when it comes to arranged marriages. Now some dating styles are not very different than arranged marriages, both in quantity (number of dates) and quality (the kind of expectations people have from dates)

And if that’s true maybe in EY people are, statistically speaking, less modern and so it’s easier for them them to get married.

LU: “Most American things end up coming to EY eventually.” This is true, mostly because of the many Americans coming to live in Israel. But I think the yeshivish community might be singular in the fact that the influence goes both ways (I’ve never been to the US but this is an impression I got from talking with people)
