sorry to break my silence:
Squeak: your accusation is false and unfounded. An apology is in order but i won’t hold my breath.
as for Ubi’s assertions that
1. there are “enough dates to go around”
2. and there are some girls who don’t get ANY dates.
They are simply silly statements, and i’m tired of going around in circles with him.
btw: (how many girls do you know who are 25 and have not dated 5 guys. Are their some girls 25 who have dated 25 guys and some age 25 who have dated 5 guys- yes. But don’t say they have never dated.)
If you want to talk saychel and discuss that the girls who are less likely to be picked, are the ones who are at risk for being stuck, and thus efforts should be made to create programs for them to get them more shidduch attention.
Absolutely correct.
Obviously a girl at 24 that is rich, pretty, in town, right family or whatever other silly criteria we give to make her be “picked” by the boys and get shadchan attention, is going to get more shidduch opportunities than a a girl at 24 who is missing the “appropriate shidduch edge” and thus the girl with less shidduch opportunities is at greater risk of getting left out.
And that’s why precisely why NASI has various programs in different communities to deal with exactly these issues.
now back to my self imposed silence/retirement from this thread.
