Are LVM more likely to get married at certain age ranges?

Great link! I’ve observed (anecdotally) that this is true. I’m older, and we used to call this Rule 28 - a man would propose to whomever he’d been dating for a couple of years by the time he turned 28. 🙃

These numbers are enlightening. But the article they're embedded in has too much of a "give men a chance" vibe. The findings might be influenced by the desire to justify age gap relationships because hey, at least the older men are more "mature" and "ready to marry". Later on it talks about "diamonds in the rough", men between 35 and 45 who have been rejected in the dating scene but are willing to commit, and how women should think about asking them out. The thing is, women tend to stay away from men that already have been deemed unsuitable by a large number of other women, and for good reason. Yeah, it might be easier to get a man if you're not "competing" over the same top percentage of men, but I don't think it's worth chasing a man just so you can be married for the sake of being married. If men want a spouse, they have to offer something besides their willingness to sign some papers. The article acknowledges that women too have been burned in the dating scene, but still encourages them to put themselves out there to be "rewarded" with a nice man. Why should it be on the woman? This further confirms the idea that women are desperate for marriage and should resort to chasing to get it. If those poor men are really hoping for marriage so bad, then they should be the ones to get over themselves.

TLDR: the article encourages women to chase so I'm not sure how that mindset might have influenced the conclusions of the interviews they conducted.

I had the same thoughts. Icky article with subversive messaging between the lines.

Not necessarily. The average marriage is 30 for men and if they married to similar aged women they these men have lowest divorce rate. So, it’s typically in the late 20s men starts to think about serious relationship and usually marry by 32. This is why statistically after 33 men’s commitment phase starts to decline. https://www.today.com/health/reason-why-men-marry-some-women-not-others-t74671

I mean we can argue a couple years for or against but statistics show early 30s is the prime time for men to consider settling down.

Which statistics? Can you please produce it. Every statistics I found shows beyond 32 a man is less and less likely to settle down and if a man marry beyond the age of 32 then that chances of divorce increase by every year. But please do kindly provide where you getting your information as I did with mine.

I agree with you on this one. Divorced men are a no-go for me. It doesn't matter who divorced whom. The man fucked up.

If a man is divorced with no kids, chances are 50/50 that he might be ok. At a minimum it shows he's willing to get married and is likely to again. If he still talks to his ex wife, he's bad news. There is literally zero reason to do that unless they have kids together.

If he's divorced with kids, he's bad news. Moms only divorce the father of their kids if he is bad, bad, news.

💯 And mothers of any kids who were under the age of 6 when she got out only divorced abusive men. This type of divorced dad is extremely horrible and must be avoided.
