How in the world will the new NASI project where older girls pay up front, which this thread was discussing from the beginning, ease the age gap problem?
The theory is that the shadchanim, when dealing with a particular bochur, will be motivated to redt him older girls.
It’s not foolproof, because there’s no specific stipulation that the boy must be within a certain age of the girl. It should generally work out anyhow, as I said, because many shadchanim have a relationships with a particular boys, and based on the fact that there are much fewer older boys around than younger ones (most of the older ones are married).
