The comment about the ego being served by the companionship of pretty younger women was based mostly on observation. An awful lot of older men, especially where I live, do tend to look at a younger consort the way they would look at a fancy car; a decorative object to be displayed to the envious masses. In my own very limited experience, extremely attractive women tend to have a deep-seated feeling that all they have to do to please is exist. This has, for me at least, a rather transient appeal, which has occasionally created some problems in the household. If a man wants to be fussed over, he's a lot more likely to get that kind of attention from someone who does not have fantastic good looks (there is of course a huge middle between gorgeous and ugly). Not a subject on which I'm particularly objective, but I suppose that's true of most of us. Steve

"the ego boost from being seen with a woman who fits the mass perception of what a woman ought to be, physically at least," Them's Trophy Wives. The very term suggests that it is a male way of flaunting success. Like the jock mentality you described. I think it's natural for successful men to think in such competitive terms. We evolved to view competition as the greatest test of ability/worthiness to survive. I imagine most women see/do it differently.
