I agree but like all solutions it’s impracticable until the shadchanim get aboard.

At one point, there was a crisis with girls not finding guys with a plan to make a living. Our esteemed shadchanim rectified this by insisting that any guy not in full time kollel isn’t worth your time.

Originally, the crisis was thought to be guys looking for Barbie instead of Bais Yaakov. During this time period, our holy shadchanim encouraged girls to doll themselves up and send a glamour shot to the potential boy so he can drool over it.

Then it was determined that it was the age gap. Those bastions of our kedusha kept up the tradition of insisting that 19 is old enough for a girl to know what she wants in life, but a boy has to be 22.

So yes. Your idea would work. But we’re just yelling into the void over here.
