I think older men also experience a subjective loss of value, but the trajectory for getting there seems more…graduated and slower to creep up on them. Maybe I am wrong, though, because all the mid-life affairs and sports cars and fitness may be the rejoinder to waking up feeling marginalized after noticing a few too many dismissive encounters with shopkeepers, strangers, acquaintances, etc. I’ve noticed the biggest crisis happen to men (some of them) when they retire.
