I know a few older boys in the chasidish community that I’m trying to help. None of them are “full-time learners.” They all work, some of them are very successful, others have their own business etc.
In the chasidish world, there are very few older girls that are willing to settle for an average boy that is serious about Yiddishkeit, learns, davens 3 times a day, etc. Either they stay with unrelastic expectations or they become too oifgeklert and don’t want to marry someone within their community, etc.
Most of these boys are flexible and willing to consider frum girls that are not chasidish.
So I’m wondering will a Litvish girl consider marrying someone with a shtreimel? Has anyone tested the concept? Are there shadcunim trying to match chasidish boys with litvish girls?
In my view, better become a Chosid than staying single. There are more Chasidim than Litvaks, so even if the Chasidish surplus of boys is proportionally smaller than the Litvish surplus of girls, the twain shall meet and make a large dent in both problems towards a greater solution.
