youdontknowme, re:”I am basing part of my opinion on my own experiences and those of my friends but all you have to do is talk to some shadchanim and I think you’ll find most would agree with me”
I’m a Shadchan on two Shidduch websites and have been doing it for years before the Internet. I’d be more than happy to work tirelessly for guys who are flexible, and at their “ready” point (I strongly believe that most of the time when a guy feels he wants to get married NOW, he can find a compatible girl with some effort on part of serious Shadchanim), and are getting rejected more than rejecting. I know loads of really good girls who are READY and a minimal amount of guys.
