I think a subset of available men (full-time learners) are more prized culturally, so a larger population of women are trying to be matched with a smaller population of men from the outset.
That would partially shift the disparity to one subset, and presumably help a different subset. It wouldn’t change the overall numbers.
And the potential for a man to be matched decreases with age more slowly than for a woman.
Again, that doesn’t change the numbers, it just makes it even worse because it increases the age gap, and makes it even harder for women in a certain age group.
The population growth rates being thrown around here, however, are inflated by an order of magnitude
What do you think it really is?
and it is highly unlikely that a 2-3 year marriage age gap within this growth regime alone is the primary reason men get significantly more shidduch opportunities than women.
I guess that depends what the growth rate is…
Also, if older men frequently marry younger women, as you implied, that would make the gap even higher.
