Men are allowed to age. Men are allowed to gain weight. Men are allowed to be quirky looking.

There are older men with younger women but you don't see a lot of older women with younger men. There are some women who have been able to do it but not often.

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.

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.

Old men should have more care to end life well than to live long.

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.
