DY: But many who come back to Lakewood (or Rav Asher) would not really mind if they got to stay an extra year or 18 months in Yeshiva without the Raichaim B’Tzavaram. Not true with girls. It still goes back to #13, that girls have a desperate need to get married, while boys don’t (to the same extent).
Tav l’meisav could explain that need, but we don’t see the girls settling until they are much older (and at that point, what they settle for is many times either married or no longer interested in them).
The numbers (boys not wanting to get married vs. girls) is part of the question/solution, not the crisis.
