I think you have a valid point, but my experience is that it is not nearly as rosy a picture for men.
Most women I came across while dating in my early thirties were not open to the idea of a 5+ year difference. Many women in their mid-twenties consider 30 a magical number that some how makes you "too old". Less then four years of age difference seems to be more along the norm that women looked for. I've seen articles that confirm that as well.
That said, it is true that the exceptions for age difference favor men over women. Not sure what could be done to change that, but having a realistic expectation and timeline of your goal will go a lot further to it success then anything else. You realize you may have to hedge your bets to make it happen. Unfortunately many women will not pay attention to that fact until it is too late to make that choice.
