Do men actually go through midlife crisis ?

What are the signs??

The third ex went through a HUGE one. It never ended.

First he started perming his hair. THEN he bought a red sportscar till he wrecked it.

THEN he bought a cheap pair of very stretchy MC Hammer pants at Walmart, gray with purple and green and yellow patterning, and started wearing them out in PUBLIC. For about 20 years.

He bought a Suzuki motorcycle, and when he looked really fat and ridiculous riding it when viewed from the rear, I encouraged him to buy a Harley.

After buying the Harley, he decided he didn't look ridiculous ENOUGH, and bought himself a pair of white plastic women's cat's eye sunglasses, and a black bucket helmet for the motorcycle. Picture that with the 20 year old MC Hammer pants...and you get the idea.

@JohnnyNoir I forgot the cologne. The third ex read about some cologne that was full of pig pheromones, and he used to drench himself in it....to attract more pigs....🤣🤣🤣
JohnnyNoir · 56-60, M
@4meAndyou yeah, I went through that phase too
Ferric67 · M

I might even say they occasionally have their version of a period as well

They start smoking meth.. or meats

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout It’s almost more expensive to smoke meat now than it is meth.
When they start doing things that they think they now have a limited time to do because they've become hyper aware of their mortality. When we're young we don't worry about that. When we hit a certain age we become painfully aware.

they buy a harley, wear 100lbs of leather, and spend all weekend clogging up the road, whilst erroneously thinking that makes them look cool... 🤔

They get their hair dyed, shave their chest, and start working out. Oh yeah, and trim their nose hair 👃

New corvette and a girlfriend in her 20’s.

@MrBrownstone Yes, every middle-aged man has access to a new Corvette and a girl in her 20s.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
@graphite Not everyone

I hope if he does or did have one, it was minor. He does have to supplement his testosterone now, probably because I keep draining it out of him. But I know he didnt like that and it bothered him for a while. We are a very active couple in love and neither of us have the time or desire to sit around and wonder or lament "what might have been" with someone other than each other like so many middle-aged couples tend to do.

About the time Low-T hits and their hair starts thinning.
In 20 or thirty years, i will let you know
Skinny jeans .
@JohnnyNoir 🤣

Ah dear ....if men only knew what women do for fashion .😏

My older sister was a teenager in the 70's. They used to buy their jeans one size too small, use talcum powder to put them on, go lay in the bath to soak them , then wear them till dry, so they were 'just' the right skin tight size .

Yes

It's comes with the aging.


Midlife crisis affects both men and women.
exexec · 61-69, C
Yes. Mine came early at 35. I don't remember the symptoms, but I didn't like it.

No idea!!!
It’s not gender specific, but generally some signs are attempts to look more youthful; losing weight or getting in shape, dyeing hair, dressing differently, possibly buying a more "youthful" mode of transportation (motorcycle, sports car)…
