[quote=Anonymous][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]

Yes I know this but my point is that I’ve been successful for the past six years but not this year. We will not reduce this requirement as our insurance doubles if our AP/BP has been driving less than three years. [/quote]
