i’m glad that people identities are protected. If for every 100 girls there are 105 boys then for every 1000 girls there are 1050 boys.
while it is true that 105×18 is 1890 please note that 105×36 is 3780 however 105×36 is not relevant to our discussion and neither is 105×18. I apologize if i need to explain to you why, perhaps someone else in the cr would be able to explain it to you.
even you agree that due to population growth there are far more girls ages 18/19 than boys ages 22/23 (see my post earlier re: my typo) hence the shidduch crisis for the girls
your point regarding some non chashdishe boys get married at 18/19 is of course true however the number of boys doing that is extemely small and the standard style avergae age of marriage is 22/23 hence the problem.
I apologize but i really don’t want to rehash all these point. if you’d like look at the earlier threads posts(probably more than five) where these points where laid out clearly.
if boys would in general date girls close to their own age there would be no crisis.
Your point if they date close to their own age *or younger* (implying even much younger) is simply incorrect.
yes the crisis is MAN made and thus we can solve it…… by figuring out ways to encourage close in age shidduchim.
btw i’m curious if you are more familar with the litvishe shidduch scene or the chasidishe crowd.
I think this will be my last post in this thread explaining -again- how age gap creates the shidduch crisis. DY feel free to take over.
