Women certainly do have a greater biological imperative to reproduce than men. It's for the very simple reason that a woman's fertility starts declining in her early 20's and bottoms out around age 40 -- a man's fertility erodes very slightly and is usually in perfectly serviceable condition at age 60.

Actually, semen quality starts to decline while men are still in their 20s. See - http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2003/02/030210080435.ht...
I have two healthy half-uncles and a healthy half-aunt, all of whom are younger than me.
