Women marry UP.
Men marry DOWN........................

[SamAdams76]

Women are also in the driver's seat when they are in their 20s. If they are feminine, childless, and have sexual discretion (i.e. they don't sleep around with just anybody), they have their pick of older, more accomplished men to marry with which to have children and start a family.

Once women move out of their 20s, the advantage switches to the men. Women who enter their 30s in an unmarried state are likely to stay that way, or be forced to settle for a lesser man than they might have wanted. Unmarried men in their 30s (and older) who have solid finances, acceptable hygiene and at least a glimmer of personality, now have the pick of the litter. But they are generally looking at women in their 20s to have their children.

A vicious and unforgiving cycle played out in nature.

Women need to time it right or they can miss out.
