[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for your comments--some validating, some not.  :)

As I said, I have been hosting for nearly 9 years, and I am comparing my own past matching experience here.  I do simply think the available pool is smaller.  But maybe I am too picky.  I am going to give it a go, and if I don't find someone I think will be great, I will leave the program.  Here's hoping new profiles will still pop up![/quote]

Longtime HM here on year 12 now. I started searching today for next year’s BP and it’s a very different pool than usual. Normally I have 70 BPs who on the surface fit my screening and then I weed down. This year I had 30 and only favorited four. Ccap has a much smaller pool of
German speaking 2+ year driving males than usual. [/quote]

We almost always match with gap year German BPs and I think that requiring 2+ years of driving experience if what is causing you issues.  Many 18/19 year olds won't have their license for 2 years when they apply to be an AP, since you can't get a license to drive a car until 17 and even then you have to drive with a parent until you are 18.[/quote]
