I'll offer my complete speculation on the subject. I think first of all that a lot of people find it easiest to deal in absolutes. Some of these women might want a man of a certain 'maturity' level, and instead of giving you a shot, will only date men their age or older as a sort of maturity barrier. It's very simple to say 'men my age or older will be mature enough for me, men younger will not' instead of having to make actual decisions and whatnot.
