Gee, I must have hit a nerve on you, lol. Predictable. You will know about my sex life and what I am or am not getting if you ask like a polite boy.
Now, can you stay on track, huh?
If young women had the choice between a hard bodied young man, or an older, aging man with aging sperm, they would pick the young man to fuck. Maybe they would like to have conversations with the aging man but he's not as sexually appealing as a young man with a hard ass. There's a reason why soft asses, sagging skin and aging sperm doesn't excite women and it's because that stuff isn't good quality breeding material. Don't take it personally.
No offense, but your understanding of evolutionary biology (which is what I presume you're basing your argument on) is quite crude. In some cases (I'm thinking across species here), it may make logical sense for a female to choose an older male to mate with because, obviously, he has proven himself able to survive into old age. Assuming it is his genes which gave him that survival ability, she may benefit her offspring by endowing them with the same genes. I say "may" because it's possible that the reason the male survived into old age is that he is not a risk taker. If he's a survivor because he's risk-averse--say he was never inclined to fight other males for the chance to mate--the female may actually be doing her offspring a disservice by giving them the genes that caused that behavior. But let that pass. The point is that it does not hold water to say that a female can't be attracted to an older male on a biological level just because he's old.

Modern medicine. A man that survived to reach his 40's and 50's is no sure indication of a healthy man because diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, ectera, can be managed and contained by modern medicine.
Further who knows if these diseases are in his genetic makeup where eventually he'll get cancer and whatnot later on in 60s after which time he won't even be looked at sexually anyway.
But more to the point, saggy skin and saggy ass and soft muscles on a man isn't sexually arousing to most young women, as like a young man with hard abs and a tight, firm body.
Finally, older men over 35 are a liability to healthy babies and can pose a threat to having healthy offspring:
June 2003 issue of The Journal of Urology: For father's over 35, the incidence of Down syndrome is related to sperm approximately 50% of the time."
2004 issue of the American Journal of Gynecology. A Man's chances of fathering a child decrease with each passing year. The odds of a successful pregnancy fell by 11% every year. And, worse, their chances for obtaining a successful live birth declined even farther.
