It has been a while since we last discussed this, but nas I have not gotten a meaningful reply I’ll try again:

Here is my question,

The root of the “age gap” TM theory is that there are more girls per guys in the effective dating pool, and threfore many of them are doomed to remain single.

Now, when asking around practicaly speaking what are the effects of the “shiduch crises” The problem I hear is girlds are not getting dates. While a guy m,ay go out on severla nights with diffrenntg irls, many girls are sitting at home waiting for a date.

Now this is where the “age gap” TM falls apart. Dating is NOT done 1:1. As mentioned above a guy goes out with severla differnt girls before he finds “the one” and marries that one. so even if 100 guys are dating 110 girls, granted 10 would rmeain single, butthe 100 guys are providing at on average 400 dates (I estimate an average of 4 girls per guy feel fre to say it is higher or lower I dont have hard data). 400 DATES is enough for all 110 girls. The girls should all be getting dates, yet some remain unmarried, but this does not seem to be the case. Girls say thye are not getting dates.

The “age gap” TM can not be the casue of the above (granted it may exacerbate the problem).

Or am I missing something?
