Thanks! Been about 12 years now. But after this explainer I'm tempted pour one out for all the guys looking for love in all the wrong places.

SMV peeks around 22 for women, and peek happiness during their fertile years is around 26. think Leonardo DiCaprio cut off

Late 20s/early 30s is when groups of friends settle down and pair off.

Like men, schooling is over, careers are in full swing, party years should be wrapping up, and brains are fully formed.

There isn't much that is new for them aside from landing a new travel buddy/partner in crime or an older guy with a bunch of resources.

The likelihood of "hard passes" for men start popping up in the late 20s, less fun, more work, more planning and more damage (if any). If they want to have kids "some day" it's a very short runway to develop a relationship with a solid foundation before they start using terms like "at risk" and "“geriatric pregnancy".

If they were going to get fat they probably already did, if they are going to have addiction issues they already have them, unplanned pregnancy, double or triple digit body counts due to a decade of party years, potential STD cases related to body count.
