Reply To: A third of Litvish families I know, have one or more single daughters 25 and up

I can speculate why a R”Y wouldnt sign. The next logical step in this progression is for bachurim to start dating at a younger age (if they dont, we will have a new scourge on our hands, girls 19-21 years old who nobody is dating because the R”Y directed bachurim to date girls closer in age – these girls will have little to do but go to college not just a degree mill in BP which gets them a piece of paper in 9 months or less – then, we will have another problem on our hands, nobody willing to date these “college girls”) Which ultimately means leaving the yeshiva at an earlier age.
