Guess what? There are a lot of Jewish women looking for love, but the Jewish guys just won’t commit. It’s a crisis. Seriously.
Maybe someone should write an article about it.
Oh, someone has already?

From the Forward:
This failed-dating syndrome has affected young women much more than their male counterparts. Even for the community’s most attractive and accomplished young women, it can be hard to get a decent guy on a date, let alone into a relationship.

Okay. Seriously, being serious: I don’t mean to make fun of what for some people is, no doubt, a difficult situation, but doesn’t anyone have anything new to say about this issue.
Why is it that the same story gets recycled over and over with no new insight, no new analysis?
