I agree with you in that part: the man over the years becomes more experienced, more mannered, more predictable. Thus, visible for a woman men's qualities become more pleasing to the eye and to the touch :) But this is only a shell, inside of which a kernel is. The kernel is changing for the worse. Man gets more tricky, calculating and more selfish. And the funny thing in all this is the case that very women spoil the very kernel.
And you're right. I'm regressing in personal development... but progressing in awareness of regressing in personal development:)
