People seem to assume that a guy's age, regardless of what he looks like, makes him undesirable to younger women. And this is something that concerns me. It tells me that no matter how much I take care of myself(work out, groom myself, dress fashionably, etc.), I will still be seen as less desirable because of my age. Meanwhile, nice looking 30something women are still considered every bit as attractive as younger women. So what then, will women my own age be out of my league too when I am over 30?

If someone is attractive, they are attractive to people in general, not just people past a certain age. So when women in their 30s and older comment that "no young woman would be interested in a 30something man, they want hot guys their own age", what they are really saying is that they themselves find men over 30(their own age) undesirable.
I don't...I'm sorry, but I'm not really following the logic in this post. Maybe it's just me.

You say that of course a fit 29 y/o woman can get anyone, even a 19 y/o. (Actually, I am not particularly fit, but I've had 19 y/o's ask me out...not that I am interested in guys almost 20 years my junior.) You say that of course a fit 39 y/o man can get anyone and then say that no matter what you do, even if you take care of yourself, you will only be judged for your age.

All of this contradicts itself.

I think it just boils down to being happy with who you are. People appreciate that more than anything else, really.
