Feel free to change your mind, when you relaize your position is untenable but please dont accuse me of doing somehting wrong.
Here is the EXACT introductory quote from the article YOU cited “It is the best of times and the worst of times in the world of shidduch dating. Anecdotal evidence suggests that most single men in the various circles of Orthodox Jewry today have long lists of potential shidduchim and continuous dating opportunities. At the same time, many single women struggle with short lists and relatively infrequent dating. This imbalance represents a looming tragedy within the community as ever-increasing numbers of women are marrying later in life or not getting married at all. But what’s behind it?”
This was his indtroductory comment to a peice on the “shidduch crises” This is how he identified the crises. I do not recall you ever disagreeing with the very identification of the crises in the article YOU yourself cited in support of your position. (at least not until much later,)
It may not be how you defne the crises (at least not anymore), but it clearly is how Halpert defines it.
