I agree that the “age gap issue” is a significant issue but I still believe that it is not the root of the cause, it’s a byproduct.

If all shadchanim were the most wonderful people in the world (and I’m not saying they’re not, I’m just assuming they’re not for the sake of discussion), how would the age gap issue be solved? The 22 year old boys would still be redt (in the most relaxed, pleasant fashion) the 19 year old girls, and would still marry them!

(I’ve been out of shidduchim for many years now so I wouldn’t know either way. Even when I was in shidduchim, my friends and I were not the type to make ridiculous demands.)

Same here (the difference is I never encountered a nasty shadchan, B”H); I’m assuming there’s some validity to the claims that it’s not that way nowadays, just because I hear it so much.
