    Garden variety.. typical ….nondescript. The typical bais yaakov with another name added like Tifferes BY or Chedvas BY or Bnos BY

    The age girls return is 19 or 20 ish. Puts them about 2 years post bais yaakov and they are on the market. The boys start at 20 after 2 or 3 yrs away learning in Eretz Yisrol or elsewhere and up. Late bloomers.

    My point was currently there are more girls being produced by the system than the number of boys coming out of the same system. You can them add the boys taking a little longer to get in the parsha.

    The real problem is unrealistic expectations and more than enough responsibility ( not blame ) to go around.

    no not from high school just the various FRUM seminaries and garden variety bais yaakovs

    “half the boys” quite the statstic. In any event where ever the kids go post bais yaakov and yeshiva to continue learning most eventually come back to the city where they grew up.

    and in this city the number of girls graduating or coming back from …….. vastly outnumber the boys

    To DY ever think for a minute that those that are learned in the ways of our Torah should make the first move for a fellow jew.

    Seems many in the hareidi world have expectations of entitlement.

    Showing some appreciation to that uneducated, unlearned chiloni soldier who puts his….on the line for you or saying thank you is not an aveirah.

    Maybe in your world it is… agree or diagree

    there is a sidduch crisis because in this part of the jewish world there are more girls graduating then boys.

    In some towns 2 or more to 1 ..and yes i did the math

    To make matters more difficult most of the girls graduate wanting to marry a learner while most of the boys dont really want to be a learner and dont have the make up to do so without a large inducement.

    Hatzlacha and bracha

    Maybe a more human approach would help too.
