I agree, although this is a little bit circular as to landpoke's question. Of course those in the culture will not be happy to find themselves outside the cultural construct. That unhappiness, in fairness, is some evidence of whether the construct is good or bad but I would assume, without knowing, that our culture has a higher incidence of those who are unhappy to be in their 30s (or even later 20s) and unmarried. I think the large culture tends towards marriage, but our culture is up an order of magnitude in intensity on this issue.
To me the optimal age is 25-30, but what do I know.
