Not For Wimps: Men and the Ageing Game

All the evidence indicates that the decade between 65 and 75 is the happiest and most relaxed period of a man’s life. Yet what happens when you realise that your own picture of yourself – mature yet distinguished, virile even – doesn’t quite tally with the stooping, rotund pensioner that others see?
