While women take a man's looks into consideration, it is certainly not the only criteria. An older man may have a large degree of success, and the markers of success, which easily causes a young woman to want him. After all, his gametes are far from suffering the plight that faces female eggs.
I often see this argument on TRP. Women have a limited number of eggs, where as men can produce sperm well into their 40s and 50s. I had to wonder, doesn't male sperm degrade over time? Epigenetic degradation can cause significantly higher rates of schizophrenia in children conceived by fathers over 35 years of age. Other studies have demonstrated that after 40, a man's fertility decreases rapidly. There are plenty of other studies as well that tie paternal age to Autism, IQ, Bipolar disorder, and a whole host of other genetic/epigenetic diseases.
I'll admit that a lot of these topics are somewhat new and aren't as well established, but it seems there's a decent argument that men have a relatively short "prime child bearing age" just as women do.
