A reverse shidduch crisis for older boys, a possible solution as well

Would cross cultural shidduchim be an answer to the shidduch crisis setting up Chasidim with Litvaks ?
Shidduch meeting
A very unique conference held in Yerushalayim this week, fifty shadchanim from the chasidish  community gathered in order to consult about the the shidduch crisis for older single boys.
In light of the personal request of some of the greatest Israeli admorim Shlita they appointed Rabbi Chaim Shmerler  who founded an organization "GEFEN" to establish an orderly system to handle and solve the problem.
In the next few weeks they will anonunce solutions in fixing and helping these older bochurim known in yiddish as "elterer bochurim" find their bashert.
