I actually sort of agree with the poster. From my experience, based on myself and my friends, the girl was almost always the one who ended the “longer” relationships (dealing with shidduch dating, so anything more than 5 or 6 dates). That doesn’t mean all the blame should be on girls, but for the most part, I think girls are more picky than guys, once the guy agrees to go out. Part of the reason, in my opinion, is that girls are expecting to feel “magic” and if they don’t, the guy’s obviously not for them. Most of the girls who have this mindset, from what I’ve observed, also happen to be the “older” girls, which is one of the reasons why sometimes guys don’t want to bother going out with them. I also think that if there was a little more realism, if that’s a word, taught to girls, the shidduch crisis won’t be as bad.
