40-50 years ago, there were frum yidden, who shidduchim with frum yidden. Yes, chassidishe tended to marry chassidishe, and non chassidishe tended to marry non chassidishe. if you were a shomrei torah ummitzvos you were a candidate for marriage. Fastforward 40 years, wrong camp, wrong seminary, wrong denier stockings, wrong yeshiva in ey, wrong chabura, wrong type of sheitel, wrong shul, everyone is the wrong “shnit”. of course there is a lack of potential shidduchim.

This is exactly the reason why we have a shidduch crisis today, but of course hardly anyone will admit to it.
To add to the fire so to speak , it is for these very reasons of political correctness and social/ peer pressure that there is such division in klall yisroel.
