Reply To: Does not believing in the shidduch crisis make you a koifer?

WIY, all the talk about overbearing mothers, obsession with appearances, etc., doesn’t change the “overwhelming anecdotal evidence” that there’s an imbalance. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, even without observing an imbalance, if you at least acknowledge a typical several year gap between the age if the chassanim and kanllahs, and large average family size, an imbalance is almost inevitable. This is not likely your crisis, but it’s an important issue for the non – chassidic community as a whole.
