Roy Moore spent 4 years at West Point and the 4 plus years on active duty including service in Vietnam

When he left the Army he went to University of Alabama Law School and graduated around 1977.

Moore pretty much put his personal life on hold until he was 30.

In the 1970s most women got married right out of high school and if a woman was not married by the age of 29 she was considered a spinster and old old maid by much of contemporary society.

Most people has kids in their mid twenties were terrified of having children after the age of 30 because of the risk of health problems and birth defects

there would have been very few unmarried women Moore's age at the time and having children that old would have been frowned upon at the time.

If Moore wanted to get married, he would have had to look at women 17 to 21 because they were the only unmarried women available

Great points, and all very true. I graduated from high school in 1965, and that’s the way it was back then.
