Do men go thru a midlife crisis?

Answer 1

Yes, I believe they do. Why not? Things change for everyone and pressure increases during overall life. Then your age.. Men age just like woman. Why wouldn't everything catch up to a man like a woman? They wake up one morning and something is not exactly how they thought it would be, or they are married or divorced or alone. No job satisfaction, maybe without children or just realizing they are not as young as they use to be. When whatever hits them, they panic, like they have lost control or they have no control anymore over anything in thier lives or so forth.

Answer 2

Men are the ones known for midlife crisis. But it's becoming different for this generation of men. The fatherless generation is going through the whole midlife crisis at younger ages. I am 23 and pretty sure I already went through mine. My buddy definetely went through his at about 22, my Uncle saw a midlife crisis at 26. It's not always at midlife, but there is just always a moment when it clicks in your head that you can't where those same clothes anymore and you have to grow up. If you know men at all, you know how hard this must hit a man. Heh. I guess some women never go through a midlife crisis because I know a few 50 year olds that are best friends with their daughters and share clothes. But that's another topic.

Answer 3

Both men and women have midlife crisis; thinking they have missed out or they are getting old and life is getting shorter.
However, most of these crisis end up to where they hurt the one they love the most and just don't realize it. Having a trained partner is an asset. Training a young partner half your age is very difficult and can make you feel even older in the long run.

Answer 4

There's no specific age. And not necessarily only one time in their lives. Generally speakiing, it's when they are bored or tired of their present life, and want to have another fling at being young again. Es- pecially if they didn't sow their wild oats enough before they married. This goes to prove that they weren't mature enough to take on the responsibilities of settling down and helping to take care of a family with kids and a wife. Once the battle of wooing, and reaping, there was a need for a new game or a new game player. My other half, is on his second go around at trying to find what he wants out of life. But this time, it's a matter of financial insecurity that keeps him connected. And he can only dream of that other life he may have had south of the border, down by the seaside watching the tide roll in and out. Now he has to be connected to a doctor for meds as he too is getting old, and he hates to face it. But we all have our dreams, of what might have been. Or what we might have been also.

Answer 5

I believe some men and some women go thru this. It's probably more to do with personality and life experience than anything else. With my hubby, he had to deal with the death of my father, who he knew and worked with for over 12 years as a young man. My father had a lot of influence and helped to shape a lot of my hubby's ideas and opinions of the work place etc....so anyway, I think his death made him realize just how short life can be, and he felt panic at being 'old' and there being things in life he felt that he should have experienced by now, or wants to experience....

Answer 6

yes, my soon to be ex has gone through one after 30 years of marriage. He had an affair with the company tramp who had broken up several marriages, he had just turned 50, so I guess that is what you call it. He found out though that he was just another notch on her belt but by then he had lost all he worked for for years. He has lost the respect of his family, my family, of course me and his son. He also found out that his heart couldn't take acting like it was 21 instead of 50 he had a heart attack and had to heart surgery. He is so stubborn that he will never admit that he had a mid-life crisis, but it sure sounds like it to me.

Answer 7

YES look at all the men over 45 with the 20's girls

Answer 8

Oh yeah...why do you think you see 60 year old men out there with their 30 year old wives (sometimes younger) driving a convertible porsche??? You know there is always a reason.

Answer 9

Only if they have relevant issues...

If a man is comfortable and secure with his sexuality and his particular "goals," then, no.

If on the other hand, a guy sets the bar so high for himself that achievement is almost impossible, well...

Answer 10

Unfortunately... Yes they do.

That's why convertible car dealers are so busy and why cosmetic surgeons are advertising more to men.
