American Marriagable Ages, from 2010 - 2020 - a Survey .
Why, on Average, Men Marry Younger Women !
Yes, it's true: Men tend to marry younger women. The age gap averages in the USA is 1.74 years, according to a study of U.S. marriages by Javier Díaz-Giménez and Eugenio Giolito of IESE Business School in Spain.
Genetic Reasons :
But the reason isn't, as is often supposed, that men postpone marriage while accumulating wealth !
It's that men are capable of producing children for a longer time than women and thus, genetically speaking, when they're older, are more likely than women to marry.
In USA, from 2010-2020 , Grooms' median age at FIRST marriage is 26.63 years; brides' first marriage is 24.80.
