AZ- True, we won’t argue the math, but 1) looked up Avi Chai and could not find any article on genders in schools. 2) 105×18= 1890, not 1,050.
Also, your assumptions are incorrect. You are assuming that 18 year old boys do not get married unless they are chasidish. This is a false premise since I know numerous 18 & 19 year old boys who married. Plus, you fail to see the end result if ALL the girls get married at age 20 and below there is still a surplus of boys. You can not argue that boys only marry 18 year old girls because there is a limited amount of 18 year old girls.
Plus you state “Due to population growth the number of 22/23 year old boys farout number the number of 18/19 year old girls.”
This is true and that is what I have been saying. Now you have 22/23 year old boys dating 18-23 year old girls. Population wise, there are more boys in that age group than girls, hence, there is no shidduch crises.
The only thing that will create a crises is when a 22 year old boy wants ONLY an 18 year. And when he turns 23, he still ONLY wants 18. And when he turns 35, he still only wants 18. This is again my premise that we are stuck on foolish ideals. If “nornal” boys date girls their age and below there is NO shidduch crises. As stated before, it is a MAN made issue that will NOT change until the future mother in laws are willing to accept boys and girls who are NOT 18, rich, etc. which are all MAN made.
