Some are, some aren't.
Younger men are also more fertile, though by a much smaller margin. On the flip side, for most of evolution, ANYONE who survived to old age probably had good genetics (male or female). In terms of males being attracted to females, that's generally going to be more than offset by the fertility drop off.
In terms of women being attracted to men, well, the old guy has some wisdom and experience and has 'survived', the younger guy is marginally more fertile, the older guys in our society more often (though not always) have more status and power via money and job and so on, younger guys -on average- are in better physical shape and so carry more physical power (though when it comes to pure power, the drop off isn't that fast for guys who stay active, older guys can still be strong). Note that I didn't say 'younger guys look better'. I think that women may perceive it that way, but that's an outcome of their brains interpreting their fertility. Men may think younger women's faces look 'better', but there's no obvious reason why youthful cheeks and lack of wrinkles look 'better'. Its that whatever fertile women have looks 'better'.
Anyway, tl;dr, with men there are more advantages and disadvantages to older guys, so some women prefer one, some the other, to a larger extent then men do. I'd suggest most women like men a little bit older but not that much, but a significant minority of women like quite a bit older.
Because they are fertile? I know that our biological roles may have some impact on our choices but come on... humans have long since been beyond the simplicities of basic survival. We've adapted and been given free range to explore our emotions. We're a cognitive species.
I think men often date younger women because they're beautiful and their bodies are still like new. More often then not I doubt they even want to procreate with the younger women they date. I think rather young women are an escape from the responsibilities of age.
I also tend to think younger women often date older men because they're financially stable and thought to be emotionally developed beyond that of guys her own age. They're seen as being able to offer a life not yet obtainable by her adolescent counterparts.
Which is funny because later in life, if we're stereotyping, she'll only stand to regret having skipped her youth and rebel against the constraints of her current in the form of a relationship with younger man who makes her feel emotionally alive and free... happens all the time.
I admit I'm 21 I noticed I'm attracted to older men like 10 years plus. To me I see a lot of men in their twenties r still finding themselves. Immature. Partying etc I mean it's not just all MEN I know some women who also do the same. Cause come on we can't really categorised just one gender but both parties :/. I still go to school and work. I have no intention of finding a partner yet or ever. But I noticed as I grow older I find myself attracted to older men as other commenter mention, they are experienced, financially stable, know they're shit. Like I don't have to tell them how to pick up after themselves. I hate to tell an ADULT to be responsible.
as far as the men likeing younger females because they are fertile isn't true , younger females just have tighter puss* with less miles then a older females , younger females are attracted to older men because they have more to offer then a little boy . boys don't be mature now a days at all a man usually want to settle down and make a family with tht young girl , but a younger boy isn't he's gonna wanna cheat and have sex with diffferent women and explore their feedom but that's all .
At this moment in life, I am not attracted to men who are more than 6 years older than me. I know girls who like older guys purely because of the stability and that they want children with a mature guy.

Experience and resources. My last girlfriend was 20 years younger than me. We both had the time to sail to the Bahamas for the winter, and we got along great. :-) I don't know why she wanted to hang out on a boat with a middle aged dude and go fishing all the time, but I'm sure glad she did.
Older guys tend to have more maturity, more self-confidence, more experience, and be more used to taking charge. These are things women find attractive.
They could be just as attracted to men their own age who displayed those qualities, but not many do.
It's kind of like how in ancient times the Senate was made by the senior members of the community - age and wisdom went hand in hand, while youth was seen as moody temperamental emotional and foolish.
It is hard to find men my age who are smarter or more intelligent, has more money than me and more educated. I prefer to marry up than marry down.
Older men have money, means, power and confidence. Those are the things women are attracted to so it makes sense older men would be appealing to younger women.
Power, Stability, ability to provide for her offspring.
They usually have more resources by then. Younger guys are typically avoided when looking for a potential husband or a potential father for her children. They just don't have anything worthwhile.
They have more money and resources to help raise their kid
