Where exactly are you getting these numbers? they seem very inaccurate to me. Age has nothing to do with maturity, you over generalized here big time. Keep in mind that there are rich 18 yr olds and poor 40's. Life is a bit indifferent when it comes to who's mature at what age. Even a guy who curses or acts immature, can get an above average job and still get a woman. Women make the same mistakes as men, they procrastinate just the same.
Age wont change how mature a person is. Believing it does it just stupidity working its way into your conscious. But the things you ask for are purely subjective. What's swearing or drinking excessively to you? What is a crude joke? Isn't superficial asking for a guy with all those things you deem "worthy"? You see when you ask that kind of question, you make yourself out to be the shallow person in the topic. How mature are you at 22? Why is it so bad to be immature at 22?
Theres just so many things that need clarification. Every body swears and everyone drinks. I've lived in Florida for a while and nearly everyone I met drank. I been to mexico, LA, CT, upstate etc and everyone I met drank. So I can't really dislike someone for drinking. In this day and age drinking and smoking is part of the culture. As for crude jokes....some of the worlds known comedians use crude humor; Robin Williams, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Louie C.K. , Ricky Gervais, Jimmy Norton, Dane Cook, Dennis Leary, and so on. If you can't take a crude joke in 2010, you might be the most dullest person I've ever met...or a soccer mom.
You're not wrong for wanting a mature guy, but you are wrong for creating a list of cons that are completely subjective and expect to find a man who has all of the above. Nothing is perfect in this world, so expect to make your list a lot shorter.
I'm looking around at the college campus that I live near, and I'm looking at my younger friends, and also my older friends when they were in that age range. Are there exceptions? Sure. Do you feel that there are lots of rich 18 year-olds? Or maybe just a few?
As for the disparity in graduation rates, it's been all over the news for at least a decade now. Pick a network or a major publication, and they've done stories on it. Here's one from the Washington Post from last January that says the gap has stabilized at 57% women/43% men:

Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from bad decisions.
It all depends on the individual. I'm 35. I made my first $1M when I was 29. I am divorced now, so I'm broke. I am also crazy.
I can get a 23 year old no problem. I am handsome and very sophisticated. But young women are too immature for me.
Right now I worship my goddess, who is 38. She is perfect for me. I don't think she would want a 50-year-old man, because
physically men in their 50s may not compare to men in mid-30s.
Conclusion: it all depends on the individual. 20 years age gap is yucky.
Good luck finding him. Even the 'mature' guys, are immature. I dated a guy who was five years older than me. Came off as very ADULT. Dude, was worse than a 15 year old boy at a college frat party.
Loco.
Guys don't really start maturing until they're at LEAST 35.
For some reason, older guys love me. Don't know why. Since I'm 19, I'm getting guys in their late 20's, thirties, even 40's hitting on me.

its hard to find a perfect guy...but wanting them may not be a wrong thing to do....

This again? Age does not mean you are mature, as they said before, some guys (and gals) are like big kids even in their fifties. Being mature is a state of mind, nothing to do with age.
Of course, most guys start getting mature in their thirties because they probably can't keep the pace they could in their twenties and society pushes them.
