Joseph – where is that evidence to be found?
All the “research” I’ve seen about the age-gap theory seemed to be based on the fact that mathematically, if the average girl marries a boy 4 years older than her, then there will end up being more girls than boys. And I don’t even think that anyone has provided any evidence that this is even the case.
I have not heard of any “evidence” to the fact that there are actually more single girls than boys. Do you actually know of any real research that has been done?
I personally have not noticed any evidence attesting to this. I think that I know or have heard of more single boys than girls and most singles’ initiatives that I am familiar with seem to have as many boys as girls on average.
I’m not saying that’s proof, but it may indicate that the above statement is not true. From what I’ve seen, the main issue seems to be not that there are more “older girls” than “older boys”. There are plenty of older boys,
