>Roman men usually married in their late 20s or early 30s, very late by ancient standards.
What caused this? Were Romans the first incels?

If they usually married in their 20s and 30s, then that's the standard.

There was a huge problem in Rome where huge German and Black African men kept coming and having sex with the local women keeping the local men incels. Blacks and Germans were both seen as exotic by Roman women. Even Asian men were having sex with Roman women like how Attila invaded the Roman Empire after Grata Honoria wanted his big yellow cock.

I remember reading that in most of the Greek City States the situation was the same because that's the age their culture considered it proper for them to inherit land or be appointed to be the heir.

>>18288624
Other societies married much earlier. Egyptian men for example tended to already be married before their 20s.

>Other societies-
You mean the ones that fucking lost and were conquered by Rome? Fuck 'em.

>>18288622
Source? The only people for whom this was true was soldiers BEFORE the.. Hadrianic reforms, I think?

>one society out of many that existed throughout antiquity
>standard
No, you're actually the retard here for not understanding averages.

>>18288622
Men back then could just fuck slaves and prostitutes. There was no pressure to marry or keep their virginity like for women. Honestly a much better arrangement.

People marrying in their 20s and 30s is the standard today too, retard.

>Was ancient history just like.... le 2024 meme culture? xDDD
You should put a gun in your mouth. 100%.

>What caused this
pseudo mandatory military service
roman men basically only got married after becoming veterans with the loot and ideally land grant to support a family with
for the same reason, not only marriage but also political careers could only start in a man's late 20s early 30s
if you want a modern equivalent (in adulthood delaying effect I mean) look no further than higher education

Haven't you heard of the Rape of Sabine? Early Romans were bandits and barbarians no one else around them wanted then and so they organized a festival to kidnap women.

a third of Rome was occupied by slaves and germanic slaves were sexual stock so everybody had a good time
