Quoted from swampfire:Eh, I call it a midlife adjustment. You realize that you're not going to rule the world, and young women now think of you as fatherly. Of all the ways to adjust to this new reality, pinball is probably the most benign. Nobody takes their pin up to 120mph to "see what she'll do", or loses a wife because he posted about his nubile new pin on Facebook.
Exactly. Midlife crisis is more about behavior that's destructive. What OP is doing is healthy IMO.
