[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is probably a normal age difference prior to about 1970.

In higher inequality times, people value economic security, which favors older, more established men. In the mid 20th century USA, income inequality was low, so I’d guess that age gaps were smaller as there was less concern about a man’s ability to provide. Inequality has been growing since around 1970, actually[/quote]
