“You are mischaracterizing my position. I think it would solve a great deal of the “real problem”.”

Sorry, I didint mean to mischaracterize your opinion. by “real problem” in that sentence I meant what I think the real problem is, namely the high expectations. Or as takes2 said “Their are way too many time consuming and decision making obstacles to overcome to even get to a first date.”

“Real solutions have been and are being attempted.”
I meant not age gap related.
After how long of trying that can we try something else?

“You haven’t done a very good job of explaining …”
That may be true, I’m not a very good writer (no need to agree) and I often feel that I’m not explaining myself (my many typos don’t help).
Of course it is also possible, I’m not doing a good job explaining myself because I’m wrong. It seems so obvious to me that the Age gap makes zero sense, that I do sometimes wonder if maybe I’m missing something , how can people buy into this?
I certainly at the very least am not explaiing myself well.

At any rate, I am not a big asken and am not able to get Rabbonimm to sign a kol koreh. so for now we are stuck grinding our wheels trying to close the “age gap” as the absurd dating system continues

In how long would you be willing to advocate trying something else (if either the age gap cant be closed, or if closing doesnt help)
We last discussed this about 5 years ago, If ch”v this is still nogeyah in 5 years would you entertain another possibility? 10? 20? 50?
