ubi:
I haven’t answered any questions:
I simply asked for your take on a observation and commented that that observation doesn’t exist by chassidim.
I have not stated in this thread that age gap is the cause of the crisis-I have simply pointed out a observation- for now i am simply discussing that observation. Something you seem awfully reluctant to do.
no, I am NOT suggesting that the numbers of 10x’s as many girls to guys, i simply used that as a illustration of how inaccurate your position is.
but in talking about reality i noted a observation that is as real as the sun rises, and you stated that you are unsure regarding that reality. We need to first agree on that observation and then discuss how that observation came to be and what could be done to change it.
now to answer you question re: chassidim. being that the boys begin dating at around the same age of the girl, thus they have equal numbers of boys/girl entering the dating scene each year.(In fact, they actually have slightly more boys than girls entereing shidduchim each year because there are actaully sligly more males than females at the exact same age, and this is why the chassidm have a slight reverse shidduch crisis- but this might confuse you.)
how’s that for an answer? Are you still amused?
But i don’t want to even discuss causes and answers and irrelevant questions, until we can agree on the reality.
something you are reluctant to do.
I guess you feel that reality isn’t relevant. In that case i’m not sure there is much to talk about.
What you call irrelevant, I refer to as THE definition of the crisis.
I’ll be happy to address all your specific questions, only once you and your fellow posters take a firm stance regarding the observation i pointed out.
