Again I am talking from a mathematical standpoint and there is no way around the facts. Hashem has planned this but we cant do our best to mess it up. Remember it does say ben shmonah esrah lechupah so for us to think we can get married whenever we want and blame g-d is not really right. Suggesting anecdotal evidence about how many people unmarried you know is of course meaningless. Many studies have already corroborated the mathematical reality that there are much more girls in their ninth grades across any town than for example in the 12 grade and the same for boys which is obvious. Therefore 4 years later when the 12 grade boys are marrying the ninth grade girls it doesnt work so unless you can challenge this with facts it stands as is unfortunately. It has nothing to do with shadchans, personality, level of religious observance or any other factors. It is simply not the same number of people in the pie to match. You can have 10,000 shadchans and it will not help at all. It is a huge problem facing klal yisroel and one TOTALLY man made. Please lets change how we do things so that your children will not suffer.
