It may be fun for a while, but for how long? Ask yourself: are you being ridiculous trying to groove all the time? Is it always you who picks up the tab? If you are married does your wife want to keep up with you or is your marriage at risk? And, for how long do you think you can keep up this highlife without collapse?
It goes without saying that on reaching his forties man is no longer the same specimen he was in his twenties. He may think of himself as being the same and looking the same, but in reality? Rarely. Few are.
Aping youth with its freewheeling lifestyle and late nights can be fun and if you are in the grip of M-M it is probably preferable to be out on the town, up-high and partying, rather than at home sitting with a magazine and depression. But you must recognize that if you are out with a young gang (and, most likely, keeping up with the help of drink or drugs) you are only passing for young and that others see you for what you are, a man entering his forties, on the verge of middle age. Even if you have made yourself into the fun person at the party. Only similar men struggling with M-M partying alongside you are fooled by your energy. Or men far older.
