Ah, okay, I didn’t see that from the comment tree. I don’t think that’s gender specific though; if anything, women seem even more likely to be rejected due to age than men. And there’s also other confounding factors with age: as your cohort ages, they get paired off, and have less time to devote to dating, and do have a somewhat decreased sex drive pushing them out there. So the dating pool is quite a bit smaller - even if your looks didn’t diminish, it likely won’t carry you as far as your dating pool ages regardless of economic factors.
