Men at 40!

Ever noticed men at 40? They are a class apart. I am not sure if there is something called male menopause, but they sure get hit by mid-life crisis harder than women do. By forty, most men are ‘arriving ‘in life – in terms of career and money! But one fine morning they wake up and the mirror throws back the image of this overweight, balding/ salt and peppered hair individual. Indian Men (despite what the matrimonial columns might say! ) are hardly good looking when they are younger. But at 40, they can see themselves truly for what they!
At the gym, the poor guys huff and pant with weights. They face stiff competition from the younger crowd there. At the park, you can see many 40 pluses, running with their jiggly jelly bellies in front of them. They learn the art of good posture so that inches can be cut off. They join the queue at the dietician , visit beauty parlours for facials , pedicures and hair dye! They change their wardrobes and start wearing linen and funky fabindia clothes.
But there is definitely one place they seem to win hands down. There is actually a class of women that find these men attractive. The nubile young PYTs at office. For the PYTs , these guys have it all – money, fame and a powerful position..and that is a powerful aphrodisiac! And the attention they give these powerful men is unbelievable! It gives these men a fresh lease of life – they preen in the attention and become larger than life!
Watch any 40 plus man next to you!! And have fun!
