That is why age is not equal conversion between genders. Biologically, men typically remain fertile into later stages in life, and there are evolutionary reasons for that. A middle-aged woman is often competing against differing biological desires at that age.

You can argue these factors shouldn't make a noticeable difference to one's dating prospects, that it's not fair or reasonable, but speaking generally, they do. That's just the reality. Height for guys operates much the same way. Should being 5'7" be a major impediment for a guy to get a date? Nope. But apparently it is, as recorded by a number of people earlier in the thread.

You can substitute earning potential as a discriminatory factor that younger men deal with. They get judged on it all the time as if it is a valid indication of character. How many women in this thread can honestly say that they never overlooked a guy trying to make eye contact with them because that guy worked at McDonald's or bagged groceries, but then dated equally attractive jerks with a decent income? Should it be that way and is it fair? I don't think so, but it is a reality that guys need to deal with, especially when they are young and just establishing themselves.
