Personally, I am a little leery of having children with a man who is *much* older b/c I want him to be around to hopefully see that child graduate college, etc. So it's not always an older man's pick of the litter if other women feel this way as well.

This is very true. I know a lot of men who are mid to late thirties and think when they get around 40...they can find a woman in her mid twenties that will be interested...while this may be ok for some...I want a husband that can get out there and play catch with my son (if I'm blessed with one) without being out of breath... I am not feeling dating someone 10-15 years older than me... A bruh i know is now 40 years old and wants to settle down and feels he can't find a good woman anywhere in sight....he says sure u can find a woman (he's in ATL) but whether or not you're compatible or she has too much baggage is a completely different issue...
I always hear men talk about the one that "got away" while they were playing the field and wasn't ready to settle down... I know another bruh who's been married almost 10 years...but still thinks of his college sweetheart VERY often...I think a little too often.... so from this perspective...the men aren't getting off with no consequences from the "waiting game" they often play...
