If you read my answer to point “B” then you would have seen “interviews, etc…”. But even so, maybe one should d o a study and find out when the average “right wing” graduate (or almost graduate) starts to date.

In regards to your world, I do not know which one you and the rabbonim live in, in which you state “The present situation with many many girls having no shot to get married” i believe is erroneous. If the girls want to get married then they would “have a shot” at doing so. Perhaps the system they are using is flawed?

You wrote “I’m just curious why it seems that so many more girls seem to get the “short end” than the boys.” I believe that it is boys and girls get the “short end” equally. However, the boys do not make as much of a big deal of it as the girls. I believe, and from what I hear from my sisters and my friends, is that girls plan their whole single life to get married, they dress up and play “marriage when they are younger, etc… While boys do not think of marriage until their teenage years at minimum.

And finally, “In summation: you write “I truly do believe that their is enough boys for girls, and vice versa.”. you are WRONG, no two ways about it. This isn’t about beliefs- it’s about reality. “

Please bring proof that there are more girls than boys. According to the U.S. census there are actually 51 girls to 49 boys. This should apply to all classes and ethnicities. Which, therefore, proves my point.
