I sincerely believe this is commonplace even in the States. I know Im not supposed to make general statements, but in my experience, I've seen this, when men are viewing the big Four O with terror, there'd be a myriad of reasons why the panic, most of them have the mindset of a big kid figuring they'd never grow older, chase women (nothing wrong with that) and suddenly L I F E is looming and staring at them in the face. There's a few wrinkles that shouldn't be there, and a few grey hairs that weren't there a couple of months ago.
Bit disconcerting.
Its worse if they have to start all over again from scratch financially as I've finally figured it out that most men's backbones at least here in the states are tied with their net worth. If the have the extra cash it takes the sting out of growing older.
Once again I have to say I value intelligence and one's ability to reflect on the past, do well in the present and await the future with calm. This is what I see when I read your posts and your replies to your friends!.
