AT WHICH POINT...:

Men are at their most romantic at age 53 (Chris Irvine, 14 Oct 2008, Daily Telegraph)

More than three quarters of those aged 51 to 55 believe saying "I love you" every day is the most romantic gesture of all, a poll of 2,000 men aged 18 to 65 found.

The research showed the majority of men do not embrace romance until they are well into their fifties, despite dating from their early teens.

Men in their fifties are also more likely to appreciate a bit of romance in their lives and tend to surprise their wives or partners more often than their younger counterparts.

...no one loves them but the family dog.
