“I think we both agree that we think that there are too many singles unmarried and that, if possible, something should be done.”
I agree. I’m not going into the statistical science of whether the cause or one of the causes is – boys should marry girls the same age. It doesn’t really interest me. In my opinion, the statistics were probably made up. You can’t extrapolate from census statistics anything except perhaps how many Frum males and females there are. This doesn’t tell you anything why people aren’t getting married. The PERCENT of unmarried people is much greater than any difference between the statistical number of males vs. females. But I think the people who think they have the solution with these statistics are using it so they have something to hang their hat on.
I’m not like the rest of you Generals sitting in the situation room discussing strategy, I’m down here in the trenches. And I’ll tell you what I see – I see too much Motzay Shem Ra and badmouthing.
We all realize that the 3 weeks are about to begin. So the next time s/o asks you info about s/o for a Shidduch, please think THRICE before you answer, esp. if it’s something negative!
