Mid-late 30s I'll give you, but late 20s to early 30s still has plenty of options.
Any man in his late 20s and/or early 30s who is looking to get married sooner rather than later and wants a quality wife would know better than to go fishing in the pool of women in their early 20s. He would want someone who is looking for the same thing as him, which would be women around his age. Most women in their early 20s are not looking for marriage.
And let's be real, most people are not going to be getting married to the person they were dating at 22, people grow apart, relationships end for various reasons. Your early 20s are about trail and error getting to know who you are as a person. Even if a woman were to start looking at 22, she may not find him until she is 29.
I agree with you that a man would be foolish to try to wife up some 18-22 year old. In reality, a woman would be best served looking for her long-term partner around 24 to 30. The longer you wait after that, the harder it's going to get to get quality dude to settle down with. It won't be impossible, but it will be a lot harder. I tell dudes all the time, if you find a decent woman, get out the game. I'll tell a woman something along the similar lines. You want to get a top notch fella, if you want the best probability of nabbing him, you better get him while you're in your prime.
