In what world do you live in where on average older women are considered more desirable partners than older men? By and large men are attracted to looks (or they prioritize looks a lot more than other qualities) while women are attracted to a set of qualities besides looks (or they prioritize other qualities a lot more than looks).
You can argue that's sexist and old-fashioned, but that's just how attraction works. Good luck changing the world!
