rated R : anyone over 35 not admitted

when i was younger there werent strictly enforced age specifications at singles events. now events are becoming strict with a vengeance. while on principle i agree with it , in practice i cant say that i fully agree. a 50 yr old man should not be able to sneak in to an event for 20's and 30's, but what if you are 41 or 42? you really are just a few years shy of the limit. should you be let in? some events become that strict. now the 42 year old guy or girl isnt who you really want to weed out. its the 60 year olds ( and yes they do crash events) you want to bar. then of course there is the mishigas of one age range for women and another for men. this is silly. just give a straight age range and no man within seven years of the lowest age listed will show up. it will happen naturally. just because the geniuses running these things will let a 37 year old man in to a 35 and under shabbaton and not let a 36 year old woman in doesnt mean they are right...after all....we are experiencing a shidduch crisis.
