I think there’s a drift in your comment from “older men” to “old men”.
There’s a difference between saying that young women (which probably includes up to age 25 or so) might prefer 40 or 50 year old men, and saying that young women prefer 70 year old men.
Your general point might be correct—my impression is that to the extent that there’s any truth in the evo psych view of human mating, it applies rather narrowly at the margin, and most people don’t live like that.
