(Thanks for the info though I was looking for actual hard numbers this is interseting nontheless)
However his conclusion is wrong
Here is the money quote:
“Anecdotal evidence suggests that most single men in the various circles of Orthodox Jewry today have long lists of potential shidduchim and continuous dating opportunities. At the same time, many single women struggle with short lists and relatively infrequent dating”
This can not possibly be explained by the “age gap” If the boys are dating frequently the girls should be getting dates in spite of the “age gap” True wehn the music stops some girls may be left without a chair but they should be getting dates if the boys have long lists.
Yet he writes, and Ive mentioned in point 3 in my first comment on this thread “many single women struggle with short lists and relatively infrequent dating”
If 100 boys are going out with 112 girls and the average guy goes out with more than one girl all the girls should be getting dates.
If the trouble is getting the girls dates something else is the problem.
