“(mashma in those times too you married within your age range)”

“That’s just an assumption,(you might be thinking about the time of the Tannaim)

let’s look at the avos and gedolim,

Yitzchak got married when he was 40, Yaakov when he was 60, Moshe was somewhere between 60 & 80, Yosef when he was 30.”

You just contradicted yourself. Did they get married within their own age range or not?

I tend to agree with your latter posts- that it was commonplace to marry a girl much younger than the man -taboo in our generation!

BTW, my post I was saying even if you say they married within their own age range, doesn’t mean they held it had to be that way!
