I love the way people like to blame the shidduch crisis on this and that, eg. not enough Shadchunnim. The truth is that people’s behaviors have gotten worse since the last generation. Who doesn’t hesitate to speak Loshon Hora or Motzay Shem Ra when it comes to shidduchim? Who isn’t mekabel the bad speech about the other party like it’s 100% true? There are times when it’s mutter to speak bad about prospective parties, but this is usually rare, even when it comes to shidduchim. This is the main reason why we have the situation we have nowadays. People end up being picky because the way other people are presented, noone is good anymore. I don’t believe mixed seating will do anything to alleviate this problem. We have to fix the problem at the source. We have to try to stop all the sinas chinum.
