To Azoi.is: you ask who’s promoting young men going out with older young women. I’ll tell you who.
– The initiative, IIRC, give higher payouts when the young women are older.
– Rabbi Krohn, who has popularized the story of Rav Hirsch and his (older) wifel. RSRH is said to have said, “For what I need to accomplish, a little girl won’t do.” R. Krohn will tell you of people who heard this story, said yes to such shidduchim and are now happily married. I have no quarrel with this. EXCEPT: what are our young men looking to accomplish that they can’t marry a girl, other than be supported for a few years of learning with no idea of what they will accomplish after that.
