And FREEDOM
A male struggles all his young life to get through growing and getting an education and a job in order to be FREE.
When he finally reaches the nirvana of being able to come and go, behave or misbehave as he choses, select his own friends, quit his job and live in his car or on the beach for a while if he hates his job or needs the time for introspection.
If he wants something, and has the money or the credit, he just gets it, no rationalizing to someone else, no compromising, no excuses. He comes and goes as he pleases.
Then someone wonders why he would want to give all that up ?
A man in his late thirties or early fourties, who has done it all, is finally ready to think about finding a young woman and raising a family.
He is shrewd enough to realize that there is a 50/50 chance that the arangement will fail and that he needs to plan to support any children he sires, without letting himself be financially ruined by a vindictive ex. He plans ahead and has his finances aranged so that his family will not suffer if something happens to him. Until then, a man is not mature enough to make a good husband or to be happy as one.
