SEX! Now that I have your attention...
As a former advertising maven, this was usually the starting place from which creative ideas would flow. When Detroit automakers tried to become politically correct, they lost a lot of buyers who just wanted to buy a car that made them feel cool and sexy, myself included. (See midlife crisis cars.)
I think most people object to the hypocrisy more than anything. Men like cars. Men like women. Men love sex. Cars = Sex. It's easy to draw a simple, logical conclusion. Why pretend?
Over at I Would Do That Sorta Thing, this sassy blogger has the guts to challenge the latest "sex addict" celebrety confession. In his words, "Men. Enjoy. Sex." Sex may not be a total cure for a midlife crisis, but I don't think it'll hurt. A sense of humor helps too.
Since I've eliminated a number of "blog orphans" lately, I'm happy to feature entertaining, well-written and insightful blogs that speak to the male psyche with a distinctive voice. IWouldDoThatSortaThing fills a void that Manly Geek and others left.
And spread the word. Sex = Good
