I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get, the younger their new wives get.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It was always the cliche of men leaving their wives for younger women. The playing field is sort of even now. Women make their own salaries. They can do the exact same thing and can have a younger man.
The older we women grow, the more clearly we see what men really are: hypocrites, boasters, he-goats. The older men grow, the more they doll us up with every perfection.
Most men are far younger when they have their children and they're building their careers. If they are older they probably don't have the luxury of retiring - and generally sixty something-year-old men don't choose to have a child and spend all their time with that child. So it was a very unique situation.
Women are really beautiful in their forties, and men seem to come of age around the period of their second wife.
Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow so.
I hate to generalize, but in general, both men and women suffer from ageism. Men much less because men gain power as they get older. Women lose power as they get older. Men are seen as gaining experience and being distinguished. Sons look forward to replacing their fathers.
There comes a time in every man's life when he must make way for an older man.
Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
Up until age 40, most men are just not as mature as women. So, it makes sense that a lot of women date up in age a bit.
As a man gets older, if he knows what is good for him, the women he likes are getting older too. The trouble is that most of them are married.
