If it gets harder it would be because the options for decent men also diminish. The single older men would probably be bald, fat or both, and carry a lot of baggage. The other side of the spectrum would be really young dudes into older women. In that case, I wouldn't mind being a cougar if I'm still single and look great at that age.
Location is everything.
A 37 year old female may struggle in NYC, but she will feel like a super model in DC or San Jose.
A 37 year old, AVERAGE looking woman, is most likely to struggle in all of those cities. At the very least, she will find dating a lot more difficult than what she experienced when she was 22.

Whether or not there's any truth to this statement or your earlier comments, what motivates you to offer your very predictable take on things like this? If anyone took you seriously, then your contribution here would only make women in that age group feel a little iffy about their dating prospects. Does that benefit you in some way?

That's from Dataclysm. Anyone that's read it and has a clue about statistics, and data driven social analyses knows that the author doesn't know what the _____ he was talking about. It was pseudoscience.
Sometimes I wonder if some men don't "get it" that a woman looking attractive and actually being attractive in a way that you want to have a relationship with them are two totally different things. Sure, young women in their 20s are pleasing to the eye... but there is so much more to a relationship than that. If you don't learn to look deeper than an outer body and figure out what constitutes a good partner and lover in life, you are very likely to be one of those men who gets hurt badly or taken to the cleaners by a woman with a pretty face and an ugly agenda.

for sure, as someone in my late 20s, there are plenty of girls that are in their early or mid 20s that are very attractive but not ones i may have anything in common with or could really connect to. I'm not really into the party scene anymore, a lot of younger 20s people may still want to go out all the time. Someone's common interests are more important to me than their age.

They have the ability to go out all the time, because they likely lack the responsibility of children. It's likely why men in their 40s who are childless, look at women in their 20s and 30s as highly marketable. I know a man who is 41 and is married to a woman who's 30, and they're expecting their first child together next year. She came on to him pretty hard. Unforeseen circumstances brought them together. She came out of a 7 year long-term relationship and she was looking for children and a husband. She didn't get that with her relationship. They met, clicked right off the bat, and moved on with their lives together.
She was wanting a family, and at 29, her clock was ticking. The man she's in love with now, was not the man she envisioned herself with 7 years ago. Time changes and so do people.
40 year old men who are childless are likely looking to stay that way or want to start off with a clean slate. I'm not saying I agree with it either, but a 40 year old childless man is likely not going to want to deal with teenagers or small children from a woman his age. He's likely going to look for someone younger, especially if he's received feedback from younger women that he looks good for his age.
It's why some women tend to dress younger and try and look younger, the successful men their age may be looking for that younger looking woman. Doesn't mean her age always has to be young either. If he's 45, and been told constantly he looks mid 30s, there's a slim chance he's going to want to date a woman who's 45 and looks her age. Sure it's vain, but people tend to try and look younger, not older.
