In asking around, it seems the cutoff age between it being cool and it being a red flag is roughly 35 for men and 40 for women.

Shouldn't that be the other way around? Namely: 35 for women and 40 for men? After all, biology is destiny. The author has apparently never heard the expression "shelf-life."

A man could reasonably argue that, stereotypically, going to college (and studying seriously), making a career, and accumulating the necessary wealth to support a family have delayed his entrance to the "market."

A woman who has waited until menopause has (almost) set in, however, obviously has "issues," since the delay will have significantly degraded one of her primary functions.

Yes, very odd how the author of this piece seems to think that it's stranger for men to be unmarried at an "advanced" age than women... when, in fact, men have always married later. Fatherhood is possible even for elderly men.
