My neighbor “specializes” in redting shidduchim for “older singles”. One interesting tidbit. The older the girls get, the less they change what they are looking for (someone learning full time in yeshiva), while the older the guys get, they are slowly moving away from learning 3 sedarim a day in yeshiva (or 3 sedarim a day 6 days a week). So, he has lots of 22 and 23 year old females who wont go out with a bunch of available 25 year olds because what the guys are, are not what the girls want. I dont have any more proof than anyone elses theory (apparantly thats not needed in these discussions), but I would say there is an adequate number of males for the number of available females, the problem is the available males are not what the available females are looking for. So, the available guys get set up with the younger girls who are looking for those guys.
