With circles of women who are all around the same age (say, from college or high school etc) it's not uncommon for a majority to settle down within the same 5-7 year stretch.

There's prob a bit more variation with circles of men since the lack of a 'biological clock' (or not being socialized to feel one) likely allows for more staggering.

That said, times are changing... some men do want to settle by a certain age, it's becoming more acceptable for women to abstain from marriage and/or childbearing if they prefer, and advances in reproductive care and technology allow ppl to plan when and how they reproduce as well. So in the long run you may end up correct, lol. I wouldn't call it unrealistic at the moment tho.
