I think men are more apt to go through a midlife crisis, more because of the implied decrease in virility, whereas women naturally have a mefashift in hormones that lasts for years...and we've always had to deal with periodic(lol) hormone shifts anyway. What women experience in menopause is categorized as menopausal, while men don't HAVE a set period or marker for their loss of virility, it happens every year over time. The crisis is more about when they realize they've lost it and just how much, that they start a desperate grab for remasculinization. Usually in the form of faster, beefier, or flashier cars, younger women, and younger clothes or look. Men's makeover aren't supposed to be noticed though like a woman's. The guy just thinks their makeover(dye, toupe, new cut, etc etc) is just going to erase everyone's memory of what they looked like last week and last year lol.
