It never fails to warm the cockles of my heart when another Orgah links to a site that smacks of or alludes to evolutionary psychology. Good show Lemur!

I love this paragraph the most....

The midlife crisis is a myth—sort of
Many believe that men go through a midlife crisis when they are in middle age. Not quite. Many middle-aged men do go through midlife crises, but it's not because they are middle-aged. It's because their wives are. From the evolutionary psychological perspective, a man's midlife crisis is precipitated by his wife's imminent menopause and end of her reproductive career, and thus his renewed need to attract younger women. Accordingly, a 50-year-old man married to a 25-year-old woman would not go through a midlife crisis, while a 25-year-old man married to a 50-year-old woman would, just like a more typical 50-year-old man married to a 50-year-old woman. It's not his midlife that matters; it's hers. When he buys a shiny-red sports car, he's not trying to regain his youth; he's trying to attract young women to replace his menopausal wife by trumpeting his flash and cash.
A number of years ago I tried to explain this to some female co-workers who were clearly were not amused. The older I get the more I view Feminism (or rather the rabid element of that movement) as an ill-fated utopian scheme hatched from the minds of blindly idealistic women living in denial about reality.
