Out here in the New Jersey suburbs most of us 40 something men got married in our twenties and have pre-teen children.

We're married to our first wives.  Some of our wives work, some of them don't. We're professionals and contractors with the means to live in pricey New Jersey homes.

We're coaches for our kids teams.  We're volunteers for church, school and the poor.

We get together occasionally at a sports bar and pig out and drink but not in the same quantities as we did 20 years ago.

We have responsibilities and we live up to them.  We don't have a lot of time for moaning.

In short, I would say we're plain ol' men.

It's not a bad life. 

In my office in NYC, I know of some of these Sex and the City type women just a few years younger than me.  Virtually all of them quite attractive. 

They do lament about the lack of good men but then, why did their type give me the brush off 15 years ago.

Perhaps they get noticed more because they have time to write articles like this.
