the boy is 23 and the girl is 19, then he’ll say that the boy is appx 22…not 10% sure-he’ll beat around the bush bec such a minor detail is not a major factor after marriage, but before marriage ppl tend to get all overwhelmed
Personally, I hate this sentiment. Its one of the reasons I could not shidduch date (or even blind date). It doesnt matter if YOU think its a minor detail, if I say I don’t want a guy who is 23, you should respect that, no matter how much you think I am wrong. I think lying or stretching the truth is awful. People need to make their own decisions in life and own up responsibility. If someone rejects another based on age, that is their perogative, not yours as a shadchan.
