OK, I get it.
They don’t have to wait for a “rich” papa, just one who’s willing to overextend himself enough. And again, they are banking on the girls’ parnasa. As one parent recently said, used to be that chas v’shalom girls went to college – oy, a career girl. Now the first question is, what’s she doing.
Isn’t that supposed to be one of the reasons boys should prefer older girls, because they already have parnasa under their belts?
