This makes sense. Single,
unattached men supposedly have higher average testosterone levels than married, attached men do. In a natural,
biological environment, older males tend to get the females and younger males tend to go stag for a few years.
Older males provide more stable leadership in social groups, so their decision-making is more reasoned and
dependable (which says a great deal about all the young Bush-bashers, but I digress).
The military has an old
saying: You need young men to take ground and old men to hold it.
That is, younger men are more willing to take
insane risks, whereas older men are more capable of fighting off insane young men.
