Men's life crises at age 25 (bah!)

TO qualify for a mid-life crisis, a man used to have to be at least 40-something.Today, he is succumbing to the classic self-doubt and anxiety as young as 25.
A study has found one in 10 men are racked by worry.
This peaks at one in seven among those between 25 and 44, showing that the mid-life crisis is more like an "early-life crisis" these days.
Only one man in four considers himself "carefree" with no worries.
Experts say the worriers fret over their jobs, pressure on their time and how to pay for the lifestyles they aspire to.
"The key problem is their over-ambitious aspirations for themselves and their families,' said Angela Hughes, from UK research company Mintel which did the study.
"Over the next few years, this group wants it all -- a better job, better home, more holidays, more time for themselves -- and they hope to achieve all this while reducing their debt levels as well," she said.
"Adopting more realistic ambitions would result in many men feeling happier and less stressed."
One in three men were bogged down with what was called "health woes".
"These men seem to be pre-occupied with concerns of their own personal health and that of others around them," said Ms Hughes.
"While this group is prevalent in those aged 65 and over, well over a third of men aged 20 to 44 also feel this way."
Another 16 per cent were suffering "provision apprehensions" worrying about having enough for retirement and being able to pay for children's education.
"The role of men in society has been the subject of much debate over the past three decades," Ms Hughes said.
"It is clear that many of the changes taking place, particularly in family and working life, have challenged traditional male roles, which seems to have left many feeling that they lack direction.
"This will of course contribute to their levels of stress and anxiety."

There's one huge problem with this article: (Now don't jump to any conclusions about what I'm about to say. Please hear me out.) They are asking the opinion of a woman. (At that, not even a behavioral specialist, but a research analyst.) Men and women are inherently different. They think different, they're built different, and they desire different things (for the most part). At least I can admit that if I wrote an article about "why women... whatever ", it would be full of crap.
"The key problem is their over-ambitious aspirations for themselves and their families" or "Adopting more realistic ambitions would result in many men feeling happier and less stressed." What message are you sending? Life's hard. Give up now. Men don't think that way. We see something we want, and we figure out a way to go get it. We are hunters. We will always be going after something bigger and better for ourselves and our families. We encounter unhappiness when something we desire is out of reach. So, we figure out how to reach it. Few things that are easy are worth doing. Men are stressed because we have to keep stretching to new hieghts, under the pressure of the radical feminist agenda (run by a vast minority of loud mouths) to completely emasculate each and every one of us. This is one tiger that won't be tamed.
