Given that the human brain does not fully develop until the age of 25ish I don't see how any of this could be a question in the mind of anyone.

Again, that's not the point in contention

Or selection bias.

I know plenty of people under 25 who are not 'retards'

I was just kidding. I don't get how the human brain doesn't fully develop until the age of 25. I know tons of people past the age of 25 that have achieved little more than dirt.

Does this change over time? Do women in their 20's marry the equal less (or more) than women in their 40's, 50's, 60's?

And this isn't the information that you first indicated that you would provide.

It does seem hard to approach women these days.

Any public place, they just want their own personal space and they act like you overstepped a boundary if you try to talk to them.

At a bar or club they're either talking to their friends or on their phones. It seems people don't go out to meet people anymore.

As bad as online dating is I think it's your best bet these days, aside from random social events of knowing people through friends etc.
