I think being so young and not quite out of college may lose a few pen-pals for you among the girls that are wanting to marry soon, but what difference does that make? I mean you only need one anyway, right? But then again, you may not have this problem at all if you are writing only to girls about your age. They are too young in most cases to start feeling the pressure to marry or become 'old maids'. That usually doesn’t kick in until she starts nearing 30.
To look at your age and situation in a positive light, I think you will attract the girls who want to take longer to get to know you before making such a serious decision as marriage. That's a Darned good thing! You have the luxury of time on your side to find somebody who is your friend and let it grow from there. THAT is one major difference I love about these ladies. They want to marry somebody who is their friend rather than behaving like the typical American woman who will shut the door on romance forever if you are perceived in any way as a 'friend'.
