“Besides, who cares who dates often? The point is to get married!”
agreed! Though as you may know the biggest segula to get married is to date.
Anyway you finnaly hit the nail on the head
” boys are using some common criteria to choose with whom to date (if we accept that Lakewood girls don’t have a problem, they seem to posses those criteria)”
Bingo!
And many of those criteria are silly. The solution to the crises is to get people to look past these silly criteria or to give women an equal footing in choosing whom to marry.
The “age gap” is a minor part of the problem and doesnt explain the dating disparity at all. Focusing on it ignores the real issue
