The real root of the Shidduch problem

The head of the Be'er Sheva rabbinical court has ruled that men do not have to grow long peot (sidelocks). The impetus: receiving 'many* calls' from Haredi parents worried their sons weren't finding shidduchim because the prospective brides found the length of their peot unattractive.
So, sorry, girls. I guess you're going to have to find a new shorthand for, 'my gut just says no...'

*Remember, in Ma'ariv speak, 'many' can equal as little as 2
