Then the logical next step would be to select for somewhat older women who are no longer able to have children, and whose existing children would be older and approaching independence. Women spend the entire second half of their lives in an infertile state, so there are many to choose from.

While my age range for desirable women to date crept upward as I aged, I wasn't really interested in older, post-menopausal women in their late 40s and 50s until I turned around 40. Keep in mind that many women in their 40s and early 50s are divorced or widowed and have dependent children so they were eliminated from consideration, too. And, thanks to today's medical advances, many women in their 40s can still have children (and still want to have them), so they were also eliminated from consideration.
And if I happened to find a childfree woman, I still had to overcome all the Other compatibility issues anyone (man or woman) would have to face, from being a non-smoker to bad chemistry (then there is something really off about Long Island women, but I digress). And she'd have to be interested in me, too. But when I start off eliminating 90% or 95% of the women out there, it gets really tough.
