I've found the age I find most attractive is whatever age my wife is right now.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I was interested to find out the other day that in an era where people married young, women didn't reach puberty until later in life, at around 18. In England, the average in 1840 was 16.5 years, compared to today's average age of menarche of about 12.5 years. Of course, back then they'd squeeze out a baby every year until they dropped dead at 30, but that's a different matter.

I dont think people married at a young age in the 1800s.  As I recall they married later in life because money had to be saved by the husband to be in order to show he was able to support his wife/family.

The claim the women didnt reach puberty until their late teens may simply have been an excuse to put would be husband's off until they gathered more wealth.
Hmm, I failed to complete my chain of thought there. I meant in the Tudor era (think Wolf Hall or Romeo and Juliet) it was common to marry a girl in her early teens, though she may not have reached puberty until several years later.

In the Victorian era, until 1823, the legal age in England for marriage was 21 years for men and women. After 1823, a male could marry as young as fourteen without parental consent, and a girl at 12. Most girls, however, married between the ages of 18 and 23, especially in the upper classes.

IIRC marrying kids was more of an upper class thing. They didn't have to worry about whether the husband could support a girl or any of that, the marriages were largely political afterall.
The middle classes meanwhile did tend to get married at a pretty late age since a guy had to finish his apprenticeship and get himself up and running and bringing in the money first.
The poor....I really don't know.

If the chemical pair bonding theories are correct (oxytocin), then Berkut may be exactly right and for chemical reasons. Nobody on earth would be chemically capable of finding Berkut's wife more attractive than he does due to the pair bond built up between them over time.
