Correct? At least about the incredible power of beautiful women to compel, and about how they age faster than men. It's an old idea.
"Beauty is a short-lived tyranny" - Socrates
I'm not with full agreement that they can't make as good a companion as a man. I think they can, given their limitations. Further, there is a wonderful thing about their child-bearing capacity, that in some ways is to the detriment of men, in that it is a thing we can never experience. The unmarried Schopenhauer never could appreciate it, methinks. And his only experience at childrearing was rumored to be getting a maid pregnant on accident. He didn't raise the child, if the story is true.
Schopenhauer had a very bad relationship with his mother, that led to a falling out. This likely influenced, negatively, his views on women.
