Joseph: It’s common sense. Suppose I have a 27 year old sister, if her options are only to date those 3 years or more older, rather than her age and up, because that’s what Shadchanim are suggesting, it’s going to very much diminish her chances of ever getting married. As you get older, the available pool becomes smaller and smaller. There are many more available 27 year old guys than 30 year old guys. Do we want to increase or decrease her chances of getting married? We don’t want to force a 27 year old guy to marry her, we just want Shadchanim to think first of the older available girls who are appropriate.
