Well duh! Nature is what nature is. Men are always going to find the youngest and hottest woman they can find. It has been and will always be that way.
Not exactly. The 50’s are a transitional time. I see a lot of couples split in the 50’s..
What men want is sex. Yeah they want other things but women can provide that one thing exclusively. Sex gives women leverage over men, especially if the man tends to be monogamous. The problem comes when the woman decides to end sex. She loses the leverage. She starts to see him “disengage”. Previously, he said “I better cooperate or she might cut me off”. Now he says “She cut me off, why bother listening to her?”.
Her reasoning is “He should do what I want even though he doesn’t want to do it because he loves me”. His riposte is “She should have sex with me even though she doesn’t want to do it because she loves me”.
That is the impasse. Remember, all the woman offers him is sex. Everything else he can get for himself these days. My experience is that a lot of men are actually forsaking monogamous relationships in favor of “hanging out with the guys”.
You can flip the roles here BTW. There are a lot of porn widows out there.
