Reply To: I'm sure it was an oversight

ICOT here is a post of cherrybims from awhile ago

“In general, there’s a single’s mentality that become established and makes it all the more comfortable for singles to remain single.

There is a reason why the Ashkenazi custom is that a never married male does not merit wearing a talis, nor can he be a shaliach tzibor on the yomim norayim, and other instances where only married men are permitted to be included in Jewish rites. The point is that a male who has not married is not a completed person; not in learning, not in his avodah and not in his sensitivity to the suffering of others. And there is a selfishness and a “me” orientation with single males.

So no one is doing singles a favor by providing them additional comfort zones, such as: their own minyanim in shuls, special discounts in shul dues, their own thread in the CR, etc. They need to feel that their behavior is not ok and they will only find acceptance when they marry and become mainstreamed into the general frum population.

There are numerous fine frum women who would love to marry a frum fellow. Find one and marry her.
