Here we go again. The issue requires a study that contains real and valid data, and there are still multiple questions about what to measure and how. Until then, the discussion of a crisis is unverified, and becomes a hot topic like anti-vax, LT, and many others that grace the CR.
As for the individual needing a shidduch, there was a “bas kol” that stated who someone’s partner in life will be, and it is only incumbent that one pursue it. Tefiloh helps, and so does hishtadlus. At that point, HKB”H takes the lead role.
I continue to find the discussions on this site about the “shidduch crisis” just a chance to post strongly worded comments that push an agenda, are degrading to others, all which are completely useless.
