morahmom: Yes, I know. I really meant “starting shidduchim” when I mentioned priorities.
Look— my mom and her friends began to date at 19. My mom’s friend got married at 20, my mom at 30, and my mom’s other friend at 40.
My entire point was to
a) put out what I see the numbers at (and by the way, there are PLENTY of outliers at the higher end of the spectrum unfortunately) and
b) to point out that stereotypes mean practically nothing.
