Quote by Elizabeth Taylor

I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get, the younger their new wives get.

I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid

Summary

This quote suggests that some men resist maturing and seek younger partners as they age. It insinuates that the fear of growing old prompts them to pursue relationships with much younger women. The notion is that older men try to recapture their youth or avoid the responsibilities of adulthood by forming romantic relationships with women who are significantly younger than them. The quote implies a pattern where the age disparity between men and their wives tends to increase with time, seemingly driven by a reluctance to embrace the realities of aging.
