      My therapist once told me that there are specific times in people’s life when a lot of them go somewhat “crazy” and these times differ between men and women.

      • ~14-18 years - men go into puberty and their testosterone increases which leads to them doing stupid shit
      • ~25-30 years - women get a quarter life crisis and make radical changes
      • ~40-45 years - women are more confident and know better what they want and make drastic changes
      • ~50-55 years - men get what people call a midlife crisis and again start doing stupid shit

      That’s a good round number to trigger a crisis that you’re getting old. Better start punching things to prove them all wrong.

        if you havent achieved enough goals by then you’re pretty much not going to. you also suddenly become invisible to the sexual market of youngers.

        At 51 you realize you can’t punch things any more without severely affecting your hands for the rest of your life
