obviously someone in the 18-30 range on average is more likely to be attractive than anyone older, but women even if they are older usually go for someone same or around the same age as them,and a considerabel minority go for noticeably older whereas going for younger is rare. do men acually value facial attractiveness more than women but lie to themselves? some of them even bash older women just because they happened to exist and not die off.

before anyone brings that outdated okcupid study, it is not only old and outdated, but most people don't use dating apps, especially before 2010, and there are like 5x men than women in those dating apps, it's not a reflection of real life, in real life i see many average guys with average and even pretty women, and even ugly guys with younger and prettier women, the reverse almost never happens.

i think men, at least facially, value beauty more, as a woman who prefers exclusively pretty men, i think i'm in the minority.
