Many parents enroll their children in sports to build character and self-esteem.
But it is often overlooked that middle-aged divorced men suffer from some of poorest senses of self-worth of anyone in our society, and that can undermine how valuable and competent we feel.
The interactions middle age men have with former soulmates, lawyers, liquor store clerks, parole officers, and even strangers can shape how we feel about ourselves.
Critical periods for boosting or reducing self-esteem occur soon after divorce and other formerly marrieds can provide important role models for these survivors.
Additionally, participation in sports can positively or negatively affect a middle age man’s self-esteem.
A Home for Those Guys–Coma’s assisted living facility for recently divorced men–is aiming to help enhance the self-esteem of these vulnerable members of our society. In March, AHTG plans to launch “Gladiator: Coma,” which will pit their residents against under developed teens in a series of tests of speed, agility, and strength.
Although your average middle age guy has the physical prowess of a pregnant yak, they have more than even odds to prevail against the collection of Latin Club members, math Olympians , and budding robot engineers slated to compete during G:C.
And isn’t pounding the snot out of a weaker male really what self-esteem is made out of?
It is for these guys.
So thank you, AHTGs, for stepping up and reminding everyone in town why you continue to be such a valued member of the Coma community. And remember, my dear readers, to come check me hand out some Nitro-sized beatdowns in March!
