chugibugi -The real reason for the so called SHIDUCH crisis with so many older single girls,is a very simple one and everybody knows it but hasn’t the guts to come out and say it.
the reason is a simple one ” a large percentage of boys in the frum so called chareidi circles are just not marriageable material,in other words they are simply boys with problems either off the derech either completely or half ways or just not frum enough or have problems with either “drinking or drugs or mental issues etc,etc”
Your post emplifies the crux of the problem.
If you would have said severe mental problems – that could be a correct point.
But what you said shows where the real problem is – Not Frum Enough or Drink a little bit or some mental issues. You post – Not marriagable material!
This is nothing New in this World; just Nowadays they label everything.
In the older times there wasn’t these LABELS.
The Unfortunate thing is they only Label Men/boys, Not Women/girls.
They are both equal & this has been going on for generations!
I wouldn’t be surprised if actually Women/girls have more problems, and because of the Goody – Two -Shoes – it’s Well HIDDEN.
