They aren't automatically more attractive than older people, but youth and attractiveness judgments are highly correlated, especially in women.
If you look at relationship research, as men age, they prefer prefer women increasingly younger than themselves. The only age group of men that prefer women slightly older than themselves are teens.
Women generally prefer men older than themselves. Averaged across cultures, women prefer men about 3.5 years older than themselves.
