A man in his prime - something like this can be called a representative of the stronger sex, who barely exceeded thirty. Indeed, this is no longer a young man who secretly facilitates his father’s stash, and is not yet a person who is popularly called the “old man”. Energy is in full swing, there is at least some life experience, and most people already earn money. It would seem - live and rejoice, but no. The impending midlife crisis makes it difficult to sleep at night and work normally during the day, and ultimately affects the behavior of the individual. It is reflected in different ways, but the general pattern can still be traced, so your attention is a selection of the most striking types of men of "Balzac" age.
Peacock
Not a single noisy party is complete without it. Moreover, the time spent in the company is not used for relaxation, but for public relations of his person. He likes to brag of expensive watches (that they cost two hundred rubles on the Cherkizovsky market, is modestly silent), or to tell how successful his business is going in (it does not matter at all that he is repairing cranes for lonely neighbors). If he arrives on the Oka from Soviet times, it’s only because the Jaguar is under repair, and the climate control works poorly in the Mercedes. Unmarried representatives of this species prey on women who have seen little in life, and are ready to believe in a hastily composed fairy tale. Married also hunt for them, but less actively, because if the wife suspects something, then the feathers in the tail will noticeably decrease.
Bear
No, it’s not dangerous (although, who knows what’s in the head of men). Belonging to the species is determined by thoughtfulness and leisurely. Usually the rule is working brain + money, or golden hands + money - that is, either by mental or physical labor, but he will ensure a comfortable life. He does not like to talk about achievements, to complain too. Most often, he is married and has a couple of children. It educates, but does not remember, when they interfere with watching the Italy-Russia match. She doesn’t flirt openly, reacts calmly and with dignity to a refusal to close acquaintance. He does not go to his mistress to the detriment of the family, but takes into account her interests.
Mouse
To justify the species, it is dressed in gray. Or in black. Or in dark blue. In general, trying to be invisible. He lives with his mother and for some reason loves cats. Yes, and dogs, too, so regularly makes them leftovers in the yard. It is impossible to condemn him for this - after all, he does a good deed. But you can scold for something. If you take it to heart, you will complain to your mother and you can’t avoid a conversation with her. He speaks very quietly, so he prefers to get acquainted in the library. Among the girls who ran to look through the Cosmopolitan, they are looking for fans of Dostoevsky, Shakespeare and Remarque. In case of success, he tells her about the weather for a long time, and marries closer to 40 years - a description of the synoptic situation in each of the points of the vast country, as you know, is not a quick matter.
Everything written above, of course, is a joke. But there is some truth in it, and you, it seems, can easily recognize your acquaintances in these portraits. Or even yourself - why the hell is not joking!
