Study: Men Become Happier Than Women by Midlife

[Mr.Positive]

My point was-

If you've ALWAYS driven a sports car and banged younger women, then there is no "transition", thus there was no "crisis".

There never is really a "crisis"....but come on guys..I don't know about you, but I'm planning MY mid-life crisis.

It's going to be something great.

A mid-life crisis is a gift we give ourselves, and we have an excuse, that society seems to accept.

Yes...we should be able to do whatever we want, but...whether we admit it, or not, outside influences do affect our choices in life. Be it family, friends, work, etc.

A mid-life crisis is a way of saying "fvck it all", I'm doing something bold, I'm living MY dream.

And...society accepts this! Society says...you must establish a career, you must obtain wealth, you must follow the laws we dictate...you must sacrifice yourself for your family, you must be married, etc...etc.

I say....fvck society in the @ss. They say we can have "one" mid-life crisis, I say we have as many as we want.

I say, let's make our mid-life crisis, something that will shake the ground we walk on.

Let's not waste our mid-life crisis...this is something we should be planning for awhile. Don't waste it.

I drive a fast sports car and bang younger women and would still see myself having a midlife realization ( the word crisis is overused and incorrect really). As a rule, I try and live my life to the fullest anyway, so there won't be a transition at any point. Its not to say I won't come to realize my mortality at some point.

Everyone handles it differently. The average dude buys his vette since his wife has spent all his money; thats who i was referring too.

Homerun . Settling for older women, getting a 4-door, moving out to the suburbs and maybe even rushing to get married WOULD be a transition and a mid-life crisis.

Men spending money on themselves = Mid-life crisis.

Women spending money themselves = An empowered woman.

Let me change that a little and take it a step further:

Men spending their money on themselves = Mid-life crisis.

Women spending men's money on themselves = An empowered woman.
