Shidduch Crisis Idea:
REDUCE THE NUMBER OF OVERWEIGHT GIRLS!
In the very early 2000s (or maybe the late 1990s),
I spoke to 50 shadchanim, and I asked all of them:
“What are the biggest problems that harm shidduchim?”
The top two answers were: “short boys” and “fat girls”.
Short boys/men cannot become taller, so I will not discuss them.
But fat girls can become thinner, so we must do something about that.
Fat girls remain a constant problem, that cannot be solved
by giving financial incentives to shadchanim,
nor can this problem be solved by changing
the ages at which singles start shidduchim.
Instead of spending 1 or 2 years in Seminary,
which is a huge waste of money and total waste of time,
single girls should spend 1 or 2 years working in the gym every day.
The weight and size they lose will do more
to help them get married than ANY Seminary. PROMISE!!
