“Well, I answered.”
” I don’t think you’ve responded to my point that the disparity would exist’
1) first of all, IT may exist as IVe said , in an imaginary world (shidduch island) it is possible that it would exist. Nonetheless even in this imaginary world the Age Gap isn’t enough to explain the shiduch crises. Thus creating it all about the age gap is a waste of time.
2) In reality it doesn’t really exist. Because there are always more boys and more girls. We are not matching fixed system. Musical chairs is often used as an analogy. In a game of musical chairs with 100 players and 90 chairs, leaving behind 10 players.
The reality though is every year 5 % more players and chairs are added. (Don’t get bogged down with the numbers I’m illustrating a point ) so after a year there are 105 players and 94.5 chairs. A year later there are 110.25 players for 99.225 chairs. etc…
As long as the Ribono shel olom keep creating more players and chairs even if they are different numbers. The game will never end .
Thus what we are left with is the Age Gap only makes sense in a simplistic closed system, and EVEN in that system it is only part of the problem.
Thus focusing on the Age Gap is a waste of effort and time
