if you do a search on this site for "mid life crisis" you'll find a very long thread devoted to it. In a nutshell, I'm 43 have had this comment come from:
a) Older women, or
b) Divorced women
Call me a cheauvanist pig if you like, but I gotta call 'em like I see 'em.
It seems to be a comment born out of ignorance of the person in question (if you knew me you wouldn't say that), a lack of tact (keep your judgements in your head, not on the tip of your tongue), or from someone who has experienced a lot of unresolved hurt and has bitterness (yeah, your ex-husband WAS a complete jerk in my book too, but don't lump us all together in the same ball of dysfunction!).
I have never heard this statement from another man. Men always say they wish they had the cash to do it because they've always wanted a Porsche.
I've seen men and women alike in the midst of a mid-life crisis and it ain't pretty. I'm far to happy a year after purchase for this to be a mid-life crisis!
