Your 40+ Man Having A Mid Life Crisis? . . .Can You Spot Him?
1.Mr Party Animal – This is the guy that still thinks he is the life of the party, and usually has the loudest shirt as well. He thinks he still has the moves on the dance floor but is far from his prime. He thinks he is a hit with the ladies but is usually a ‘ big miss’, but will bang on with his cheesy lines and excessive eye contact regardless. He will also be the guy that arranges the ‘dance solo circle’ at a party and actually be the worst dancer. He loves the bling and will usually be sporting a set of aviators or bandana.
2.Mr Mamil ( Middle aged man in Lycra) – This guy can be found at cafe’s, dining al fresco style, usually drinking a latte or lemon chinotto with other Lycra clad males on a Sunday morning. His pride and joy is his new $10,000 carbon fibre bike with all the bells and whistles. He now shaves his legs to reduce wind resistance as he cruises down the very blustery and treacherous King William Road, Hyde Park. The Mamil has no idea how he looks in his unforgiving Lycra uniform completely unaware that the local ladies are not really interested in knowing what side of his ‘lunchbox’ he packs his mettwurst.:-) He may also begin to talk in broken English as he tries to appear more European as he discusses the next tour stage.
3.Mr Conservative – This guy will usually have a sensible haircut and love wearing a pastel polo shirt, bone coloured chinos and comfortable brown loafers. He will shop at Country Road or Rodd and Gunn, but always keep his eye on the Gazman catalogue for a check shirt bargain. He will have a family car that is fuel efficient. He will eat sensibly (probably kale), and most likely monitor his heart rate and kilojoules count. This guy listens to radio station Mix 102.3 and loves Coldplay and Fleetwood Mac. This guy’s idea of a big night out is a movie with his wife, and coffee afterwards. Usually found reading a paper or self help guide. Google is his best friend and is most likely a tight ass.
4.Mr Bogan – this guy will be wearing a blue shearers singlet or Bintang singlet and will strut around with elbows out and puffed up chest. He will be sporting an 80’s mullet and will be wearing thongs. Every conversation will revolve around beer, boobs or sport. His favourite music is Jimmy Barnes, Chisel or The Living End. Often spotted at a BBQ with beer in hand with the latest stubby holder.This guy is a creature of habit, most likely lives in northern or southern suburbs and will always dream of his next holiday to Kuta,Bali. Most likely to know a gal called “Shazza”, swear a lot, and be proud to live in ‘Straya’.
5.Mr Surfer Dude – This guy can be found anywhere down the coast with t-shirt, board shorts and thongs and if it is really hot… a singlet, board shorts and thongs. He will be tanned and have scruffy hair and use the word ‘man’ a lot. He will probably have realised by now that surfing is a way of life and has switched his diet to an organic one, wears a wide brimmed straw hat, and has multiple boards. He would have upgraded his car to a 4wd or van and be surrounded by likeminded dudes. Upgraded trips to exotic surfing destinations are now the call of the day after years of surfing the mid coast as a grommet.
6.Mr Flashy -This guy has multiple of everything..especially boy toys. He will have several cars, usually a 4wd and a sports car(A Harley is also likely) a holiday house down the coast and a boat will be standard. If he is a musician he will have over 3 guitars and at least 2 amps. This guy collects status symbols and will always have the latest version/model and price is irrelevant. He lives in the eastern suburbs and is socially active, well connected and can be found at all the parties of his professional mates. His partner will most likely be blonde & attractive and have had ‘work done’. He will be wearing Polo Ralph Lauren shirts and shorts with Italian leather sandals. He wears fine cotton jumpers tied around his neck and expensive high end sunglasses. Loves flashing the cash, and most likely to have his teeth whitened.
7.Mr Sloth – this guy is most happy at home in front of the box. He tunes out to just about everything except the cricket score or latest footy stat. He is notorious for holding long conversations with his wife using minimal words. Eg “yes dear”. When she tests if he is listening by saying ” what did I just say?” He has the most annoying ability to be able to rewind the conversation and replay it word perfectly. He will do whatever it takes to get some peace and quiet, and usually have a sarcastic nature. He will most likely be overweight enjoy a beer, and love his trackies. Another thong or bare feet guy who resides in either the lounge, bathroom or shed.
