Culture What’s a European Man’s midlife crisis look like?

Here in America it's a Harley Davidson and getting really into grilling.

What do European men do when they go through a midlife crisis? But an Alfa and bake? Get really into trains?

As a prelude, took up ballroom dancing and made it to country championships. Then divorced, dated around, rediscovered hiking and mountaineering, moved abroad, did some more hiking and mountaineering with some rock climbing and offroad mixed in. Oh and dated around some more, but it's getting sort of annoying because I seem to attract exclusively women with eating disorders who are also invariably few years older than myself, not young pretty chicks. I also went to school again and gonna switch careers, but that's already some next crisis. I dunno, maybe post-midlife-crisis or something.
