Reply To: Oversupply of Shadchanim? No Need for More Shadchanim?

Essentially, starting new shidduchim websites, coming up with ideas to better match guys and gals, making more boy/girl get-togethers (like sponsored by the Agudah’s Invei Hagefen) and other initiatives to get single guys and girls together for a potential shidduch in a more conducive or comfortable environment really do nothing to fix the problem. Whatever amount of people that can get married, are getting married. These aforementioned initiatives doesn’t make any significant increase in the number of shidduchim that occur.

At least this is the net result of accepting the thoughts expressed by the leaders of the age gap theory who say that it is essentially only the age gap that causes the unbalance.
