There is a real male menopause.
Usually happens around the same time as a females.

Signs are change in habits, buying expensive toys like Corvettes, deciding they are younger than their wife so start looking and sometimes acting upon the urge to be with a younger woman and some men just have depression.

Basically what it is: a sudden realization that half of their live is over. Kids are usually out of the house, wife is busy with her own interests and men realize they have worked for half their life and want something to show for it.
