This is hugely ageist, being that your reaction stems solely from his age rather than from any disrespect he has shown. If his approach was respectful and non-intrusive, feeling disgust purely because of his age leans into the stereotype that older people's interest is inherently inappropriate, unwanted, or even creepy, which is a form of ageism.
Of course, attraction and relationships involve personal preferences, and someone might simply not be interested in people of a different age group—that's valid. But outright disgust just because of a respectful expression of interest from an older person reflects ageist undertones. > Just as assumptions about younger people's lack of capability or older people's limitations are ageist, assuming that age alone makes someone's interest inherently unappealing also leans that way.
Please do him a favor by letting him know he can do much better.
Edit: reading comments, darn, so many f'd up people here. Amazing.
Edit: you all really want tfg re-elected? Because this is how you get tfg re-elected.

Let this be a lesson. People will try to gaslamp you into believing that she is not attracted to this man because he is old. No. She is not attracted to him because he probably isn't jacked.
Women respect one thing, and one thing only. And that is power. The ability to enforce your will on the world. If this same man were jacked, on trt, and wealthy enough to buy her family he would be having his way with her as we speak.

Old neighbors who manage FWB relationships with younger women: Cool gigachads that most likely got kitty when they were younger as well.
Old neighbors that unironically seriously date younger women: Losers that didn't get kitty when they were younger and are being taken for a ride by an obvious gold digger.
