In other words I guess what I am saying is that real life doesn’t always follow math. Sometimes in life 2+2 can equal 5. Facts cannot just be ignored becuae of math. The odds of your having been born are infinitesimally small (Think of all the people in all generations who had to meet whose exact sperm of millions had to combine with the right egg, over generations and generations.) Based on math I have proven you dont exist! Yet here we are. (granted not the best mashal, perhaps the pizza reply was better). At a certain point reality has to be taken into account.
Now if the age gap demographics have existed (you insist that something changed but arent sure what, fine. But I am certain nothing has and until presented with evidence to the contrary, see no reason to change that view.) and yet their was no “shiduch crises” any math you or Dr. Halpert want to introduce has to placed aside in favor of the overwhelming anecdotal evidence. How did all those 1000’s of excess older girls get married? I dont know (we outlined possiblities earlier but it doesnt matter for this point.) They somehow did. That is all that matters. Therfore in addressing the current “crises” new factors that DID NOT exist then are what need to be studied not old factors taht have not changed.
