So, I pulled the number of single women by age from the 1995 census (first data I could find, Table 59, pdf):
I then took the finite integral of that time series over the upper and lower bounds for acceptable dating for each age to get this:
While the acceptable range of ages you can date increases forever, the pool of single women dwindles faster, meaning that (given all these assumptions) a man’s peak dating pool occurs around age 24.
