DY:

1) according to many older single girls and experienced shadchanim, NOT TRUE

2) based on the Avi Chai study which shows 2% growth, and no one has found any scientific study that contradicts this, NOT TRUE

3) very relevant. If one has commitment issues, etc; all the narrowing of the age gap in the world can’t help them. Also, as long as boys want a size 2, how will heavier girls get married to younger boys.

4) Being that girls mature faster than boys, narrowing the age gap will cause problems with #4 & 5. If the Gedolim would say otherwise, fine. But some anonymous R”Y is not the shikul hadaas of “The Gedolim”

5) definitely NOT TRUE.

6) possibly true. However, hashkafa will change the longer out of seminary and also lose childbearing years and narrow window of marriageability.

The bottom line is that NASI would be a bad idea if any one of these 6 conditions were not true; and the reality is that probably none of them are!!!
