The rejection works both ways.

I'm on match.com. I made it very clear how to contact me outside "the club". I get emails thru "the club", which I cannot answer because I am not a paying member.No one has been smart enough to just go to my named website and use the contact link. So much for that moron, "click - delete".

I laugh when I see some 60 year guy wants a woman 40 -50.
Just what is he going to do with a 40 YO?
Maybe he just wants someone to take care of him as he is dying in a few years.

I do believe that it is logical for the woman to be older than the man. That way they would be morelikely to finish their earth journey closer in time.
Men tend to drop off starting in their 50's.
