That sort of evolutionary-biology approach can explain why men are all attracted to women of the same age, but it fails to explain why women aren't all attracted to men of the same age. Even if women don't have to be as selective with regard to age because men's fertility doesn't decline the way that women's does, there should still be an absolute ideal age at which a man is most capable of being a good mate.
