I don't think older males have it so bad, actually. Check out Hugh Hefner.
For real, though, the man I was talking to for a bit is 7 years older than me (he's 44). When he was 39, he was in a long term relationship with a pretty girl 10 years his junior. I mean, yeah, he was fit, active, and looked really good...even with the bald head and salt and pepper goatee. But he was still with a much younger woman (and has also been with women his own age). That's the example which readily comes to mind, but the point is that if you're taking care of yourself, age is just a number.
I know it seems scary, and I didn't love the idea of reaching my 30's, but it isn't so bad. And I probably wouldn't go back to my 20's for anything; I had a lot of fun at times but overall, they were too tumultuous.
