ubiquitin:
you have chosen to define the crisis in terms of frequency by which girls get dates.
suppose:
1. you have 10 guys and 100 girls.
2. each guy dates on average 10 girls before he gets married.
Will each girl get a date- probably
Is there a shidduch crisis in this theoretical situation????
The definition of the crisis is NOT the difficulty girls have in getting dates, nor in the relative frequency of their dates. That may perhaps be a by product of the crisis.
The DEFINITION of the crisis is that after 5/10 years of dating the numbers of unmarried men pale in comparison to the numbers of unmarried women.
THAT is what is referred to when people discuss the shidduch crisis.
(I have not even offered a suggestion how that comes to be, i have simply accepted a specific observation and used that observation as the definition of the crisis. (yes i know that in a earlier post i said i wouldn’t do this- but i did)
Anyone if free to
a) deny the observation- thought that might the equivalent of denying the reality similar to ba harug biraglav.
b) offer explanation how that reality came and continues to come about
c) offer suggestions how to alleviate that reality, which was the intention of the OP.
(side note: if one accepts that observation/reality, even if they disagree with how/or why that reality comes about, closing the age gap will help to alleviate and adjust that reality.)
