Or how employers are more likely to hire you if you've already got a job.
Real, and even more cruel.

This is a real phenomenon. Men are more attractive when they're already in a relationship.
There are similar psychological effects that exist elsewhere. A job applicant is more attractive if they currently have a job. A scholarship application is more attractive if you list your existing scholarships. The effect is basically: someone else found you desirable, and therefore I must also.
The effect is so strong that it encourages people to fake it to gain the benefits.
Exactly. Some people like things they can't have. The thrill, the risk.
Same reason why rich people steal stuff for the thrill.

Not a deal breaker. The dad bod is in. I suspect other dad qualities are also in. Like sweatpants and socks with sandals.

Older dudes can absolutely get younger girls. However, they are mostly going to fall into 2 categories. Serious emotional/psychological issues. Or looking for a sugar daddy without as much stigma.
If you are in great shape, have a good personality and a good job, then at 40 you can still pull girls in their 20s without to much trouble. If you let yourself go, and have nothing to show for your age then it will be a lot harder.
The better question is why would you want to? What would you even talk to them about?

Do the dad qualities of already having a wife and children help? Lol

Oh bless your heart.
You realize that.a young woman who is even mildly attractive can pretty well have her pick of men her own age. She dont want no tubby dude 20 years older, wearing clothes from Costco and driving around in a Subaru crosstrek.
Once us guys hit our 40s we just disappear into the hedges like homer, just part of the background.
I'll have you know I drive a Toyota minivan and shop at Sam's Club because we don't have a Costco. Much to my disappointment.

Look, champ, I donât even know where to start with that screed of yours; itâs like you veered across every social lane marker at once and somehow managed to cut off common decency in the process. People are out here trying to keep their traction in a world full of potholes; maybe set the cruiseâcontrol of basic respect before you rearâend reality, yeah?
How dare you talk shit about the Subaru Crosstrek. Weâre dealing with a 220âŻmm groundâclearance, symmetricalâAWD, snowâeating, gravelâspitting, apocalypseâcommuter that will outlive three of your fashion cycles and still start on a minusâfive morning without a whimper.
It's a fiveâstarâsafetyârated goâanywhere hatchback that gulps eightâlitresâperâhundred on the highway while your precious status wagons guzzle twice that idling at a cafĂŠ; it holds its resale value like a dragon sits on gold; throw a kayak on the roof, a mountain bike in the back, and go touch grass. The Crosstrek is the Swiss Army knife of daily drivers; slagging it off is like mocking duct tape - it only proves youâve never fixed anything in your life.
Oh lovely, the Subaru Crosstrek. The automotive equivalent of a bearded man in hiking boots whoâs never seen a mountain. Yes, yesâ220mm of ground clearance, symmetrical all-wheel-drive, and a CVT that responds to throttle like a golden retriever responds to algebra.
You call it an apocalypse commuter? Please. The only thing this thing has ever survived is a steep mall parking ramp. Itâs not a rugged off-roaderâitâs a cosplay Jeep for people who think flannel is a personality. This car talks a big game about conquering snow and gravel, but starts hyperventilating the moment it sees a hill and a headwind at the same time.
And letâs talk about powerâactually, letâs not, because there isn't any. Merging on the motorway in a Crosstrek isnât just dangerous, itâs spiritual. You put your foot down, say a quick prayer to the gearbox gods, and hope that the CVT decides to simulate a gear that moves you forward rather than just turning fuel into unpleasant noise.
Resale value, Swiss Army knife, duct tape metaphorsâfine. But at the end of the day, itâs a hatchback with hiking stickers, delusions of grandeur, and the acceleration of a depressed tortoise.Itâs not that the Crosstrek is bad. Itâs just that it pretends so very hard to be brilliantâwhile delivering the dynamic excitement of a soggy oat biscuit.

About 16% in men have a fat fetish compared to <1% of women. Also about 36% of women prefer a partner heavier than them. Also, 97% want a man whoâs taller than them while about 2 % of women want a man smaller than them.
Of all the people currently alive, about 7% are women aged 25-35. of those 1% like fat men, of those 2% want the man to be smaller. So you have 0.0014% of any given population who is female 25-35 and likes small fat men. About half of them are single, you you have 0.0007% of any population who will find you attractive.

This does assume that these are independent variables, which may not necessarily be the case.

Hey sweatpants can do some work. Are they grey?
Also 40s can be good-looking
And "fat" is pretty subjective; people with average bodytypes can be very successful with confidence

Ironic that you complain about men disappearing in their 40s when this happens so pervasively to women it's called Invisible Woman Syndrome.
Aging out of societal relevance is hard for everyone. Let's not pretend that this is a uniquely male thing, especially when women are pressured to conceal their aging to a far greater degree.
Honestly I don't see them complaining nor are they pretending that it's uniquely male. I just don't see any words to support that. Do you think you might be reading a bit too much into it?
