adams:
That’s what I said in the beginning of the thread:
A third of Litvish families I know, have one or more single daughters 25 and up
Case in point: Due to various circumstances, I davened at the “late minyan in town” (9:00) on a recent shabbos. about 15-20 people were there for brachos, more for Yishtabach. A number of older (male) singles walked in between Shema & the end of laining. Your typical BY girl may have already rejected her zivug by being “too” frum (and yes, I don’t like that term here either), and not willing to be happy marrying a boy like this (who will not marry a nagger who tells him he has to go early to minyan).
In short, Adams & I agree that a significant part of the problem is the disconnect on frunkeit levels between the available boys and girls.
BTW, why in the world should the less frum boys agree?
In my experience, the boys don’t agree, and would rather remain unmarried (as I posted earlier in the thread).
