Are women considered "washed up" after 30?

[Anonymous]

I hear a lot of men, specifically men in their early 30s saying that once a women is 30-35 then she's damaged goods or she's "washed up", it isn't fair actually, because a man is actually considered more desirable in his 30s. Younger men seek after older women for sexual reasons, yet men who are in their early 30s find the nearest 24 year old to marry and procreate with. I'm 23, and I dated a 33 year old who was ready to settle, he had a house and a career but his motif was to find a women who was as young as possible to give him "healthy" children. To me, that's an excuse. A women at 35 is just as capable as a woman at 25 to bear healthy children. He also preferred younger women because he claimed that they had less baggage. I had to let this man go. Great guy, but I'm just a 23 year old who's getting her feet wet and starting a career. Why do some men feel like a woman suddenly loses her value once she's a certain age? Why is it ok for a younger woman to be with an older guy but never vice versa? Do you feel that once you hit the age to settle, you'll suddenly seek 20-somethings instead of women your own age? If so, why?

That is when they stop really being viable for their fertility and the like but they become more socially viable in the same right. So no.
