I know this has been talked about before, but if this statistic is
true it seems manifestly unfair.  I think there's a good chance a
given single woman of that age has a lot more to offer than she did,
for instance, 15 years earlier, in the area of maturity, stability,
career choice, etc.  If a given woman in this age group doesn't *want*
to get married that's different of course, but if they're looking and
the guys aren't responding, everyone loses.
