I'm afraid you are the dumb imbecile here.
+1 people who get married too early (not financially stable, emotionally/mentally mature) have a higher chance of getting divorced.
Divorce rates start going back up when you marry in your mid 30s. By your late 30s they're basically the same as in your early 20s. Statistically, 25-32 is the sweet spot.

While dating with intent to marry I noticed that a lot of women were interested. I think some women perhaps wait because men aren't ready.

My question was so cringe, thinking back on it. She's an accomplished dentist who owns her practice, and has 4 kids. She's got no explanations to give to anyone.
