The representation of older men in the media is always more complementary than that of older women. Particularly in regards to appearance and discussion of desirability etc. This is probably something to do with the fact that the majority of mass media is controlled by older males. For example the age difference between a husband and wife on television or in films is likely to be far higher than the average age difference in reality, with older men often being shown with a partner 10-15 years younger than them.
