You only blame men for being age-strict, but most women are as strict at this if not worse, most women I knew wouldn't even date a guy of same age or months younger.
A friend of mine had rejected a guy just because he's couple of months younger.
The ages of my dates (of various seriousness) have run (me-them):
18-18
18-16
18-32
18-21
29-34
29-39
30-26
I am particular in who I like, and in who I appeal to.
I know full well women can be age strict. My point was not just about ages, but also that there are women who would possibly date these men who the men don't even notice. They simply don't register as potential romantic/sexual partners. Rather, they are looking at the women they like - understandable - and writing off all women as having any interest in them on the basis that those particular women have no interest in them.
I would say the same thing to a woman talking about this sort of thing. But there is an assumption from men that women somehow have it 'easier', can always get 'someone'. My point is that, if all you want is 'someone', then you can likely get such. Most people, understandably, want more than just 'someone', though - all I ask is that those who complain about limited romantic luck admit such.
