apushatayid, Until all boys are invited to this party, there will always be a shortage of boys. Nothing NASI does, no matter how large a financial carrot they dangle in front of shadchanim, if we eliminate those we have written off as “modern”, we will always have a “shortage”.
I can reverse that statement as well: Until the age gap issue is addressed, no matter how much the girls compromise on their ideals, there still will not be enough boys for them.
Our horses are beyond dead.
You didn’t, it was someone else who did. Although “hefker” was my commentary.
