The problem is that youth comes at the wrong end of life.

One solution to this is for young men to marry rich older women. That
way the man has the money he needs to do fun stuff, and the woman is
romanced by a young man. Then when the woman passes on, the older man
marries a younger woman, who....well, you get the idea.

Don't tell my wife I said any of this, OK?
