I want to revise - a man who is over forty is, in my opinion, preferable. Although your version is cerainly understood and probably used a great deal.

a man who is over forty is, in my opinion, preferable. Oh, yeah?
She said she was having an affair with a man over forty.
Better, I suppose, than She said she was having an affair with over forty men.

Yikes!
(Sorry, I totally missed the "an.")
You think "a man over forty" is better than "a man who is over forty"? I had that first, then changed my mind. I don't think either is incorret though, do you?

Hi,
It wasn't your grammar preferences that I was 'Oh yeah'-ing about.
Best wishes, Clive
