Don't take everything in this article absolutely literal, then it's quite nice. > A tired, irritable, unskilled player is not appealing, and probably shouldn’t be looking for a relationship. It's obviously an exaggeration,

I suppose that the age similarity might mainly be a peer group effect. People in the early twenties tend to hang out a lot with people of around their same age, e.g. due to college/ university classes or parties. As long as dating happ

It is not surprising at all if we consider evolutionary psychology and how dating actually works due to the differences between men and women. David Buss did a lot of research in that field, this [1] is a nice intro. Women and men have comp
