Logician:
The problem (going forward) CAN be totally solved, and there is no need to close the age gap completely.
In fact: closing it completely will actually create a reverse problem.
Regarding the progress that has been made, please pay attention. Do some research on the NAI Project and what they’ve been after and what they’ve accomplished in the last four plus years.
Speak to shadchanim about the difference in attitudes amongst boys and thier parents and their ability to succesfully redd shidduchim of girls to boys their same age or even if the boys are younger.
Sushe:
Please read the letter from 70 R”Y. Apprently they don’t feel like you.
Finally (this is not to you logician/sushe) I would apreciate if posters whom i have specifically writeen that i will NOT respond to -pending their apology to shadchanim at large for unaccceptable accusations – should please not ask me questions. I don’t want it to look as if i’m avoiding their questions.
