That would imply that there are as many women becoming widows at 40 as there are at 70, or half as many at 25. I guess it's theoretically possible, but I'd have a very hard time believing it. Most of the men dying at 25 are, shall we say, not exactly marriage material.

A man who isn't "marriage material" is drowning in pussy, and if for some reason he wanted marriage he could have it. Women only go looking for "marriage material" men when they can't get the violent drug dealer who gives them the tingles to commit. Still, for the guy who isn't "marriage material", marriage is there for the taking if he wants it. Most don't do it, but the few who do can skew things. Averages are very sensitive to outliers, so it doesn't take many outliers to change the average quite drastically.
I'm sure Tyrone and Cleetus are getting all the HIV-riddled skanks their local crack den has to offer, but this is specifically about marriage. Can't be a widower if you're not married.

Marriage is down in numbers. It takes very few these days, especially with younger women marrying older men for...their looks?
