    I am a middle aged male and since passing 50, I have decided to completely change my appearance. I have let my hair grow very long and I got my ears pierced - more piercings to follow! I wear tight jeans and boots and dress mostly in denim and leather. Am I in the middle of a mid-life crisis?

    Don't wear your hair in a pony-tail (except for work reasons) unless you have a full head of hair (i.e. you are not bald on top).

    At 50+, denim jeans and a leather jacket can look well. Leather jeans and a denim jacket, on the other hand, are difficult to carry off (unless you are onstage with a wireless microphone and your personal assistant is waiting off-stage with a towel and a tray of your favourite stimulant.

    Fair play on thinking about having more piercings - do a lot of research before getting a PA though!

    Not your ornery onager

    Sadly, I feel you may be somewhat past the 'mid-life crisis' stage by now. Average male life expectancy in Ireland is around 77, meaning that your 'middle' age was around age 38 :eek:

    Still, I wouldn't let that stop me enjoying myself and flaunting my individuality - age is just a number :pac: These are your golden years, so make the most of them.

    When I was in my late 40's I got my first tattoo. On my 50th birthday I bought a humungous great motorbike. Crisis what crisis?

    My ex told me to grow up, I told her I was having far too much fun to do something that silly.

    Be a man and act the child is my motto.
