“I’m referring to your musical chairs/island question.”
I don’t have a question regarding that
“I don’t see the relevance of that question to the disparity of boys to girls.”
Because the problem isn’t one of disparity. fine that MAY turn into a problem once the Dating Divide is fixed (I doubt it) but we will deal with that then .
“I don’t know why that question is relevant.” (reg whether anything changed)
Its relevant for 2 reasons:
1) Ive seen NASI advertising that they’ve been successful in getting people to marry closer in age, I’m curious whether it has helped (which was their argument)
2) I’m wondering how long we will have to delay actually doing anything while we harp on the Age Gap until we decide that this wasn’t the main cause, or that without putting guns to people’s heads you cant force people to marry based on age.
Regardless, I don’t think it’ll help, It is just a stall tactic (deliberate or not) to avoid real change. At some point I hope people will try something else 10 years 20 years, 30 ? At what point do you say ok time to actually change our dating?
