Is obviously a non linear effect that increases as a function of the age difference. There's no step function at any magical age.
I feel like I shouldn't have to clarify that.
Also if you're a 50 year old man with high status you'll fare substantially better than a 20 year old man with low status with 30 year old women.
I've personally been outcompeted by balding, portly middle aged men with women my own age when I was in my twenties. Not that anecdotes mean much, but it's pretty universally true about humans. It even holds with primates and other social animals in general, not just humans.
