Yes, the flip side though is the second she loses her looks she becomes invisible, and unless she has invested in her personality, knowledge, skills, when this happens she will have nothing. Attractive young females are a highly depreciating asset in most cases. It's basically strike while iron is hot. After that there's very little in way of interest in them.
Males on the other hand, it is more smoothed. Males are largely ignored until 25, after which things turn around slightly and so long as genes are ok, keep in shape, not ugly etc. then can keep things going very well until say 45, after which a slow depreciation kicks in. It is just different.
I don't know. Men go bald, they get fat, start developing a belly, and start to get wrinkles.
Most 40 something year old men don't look as good as Dwayne The Rock Johnson, Jake Gyllenhall, George Clooney, when they're in their 40s. Those guys, like many other actors of Hollywood, are chosen partially because of their above average appearance. If you're going to star in action/superhero films, you probably need to look pretty good.
In addition, most 25 year old women don't want to date a 45 year old man. If you're a 45 year old man, you might be looking at women in their mid or late 30s, not women in their twenties, and certainly not 21 year old girls.
So men have a shelf life too. Although for men, the luxury is that their shelf life typically extends longer than a woman's partially because money and status can act as a buffer for men that have it.
You are in violent agreement with me, you may have just glossed over all the caveats I put in!
