I want to write in defense of guys in their 40s who want "to enjoy their freedom." It isn't necessarily about only wanting to pursue the physical part (although I'm sure that is it for some guys). Personally, I find my freedom enchanting. However, I only want to invest so much of myself in a relationship. But I truly enjoy going out on romantic dates, talking and getting to know all about someone new, and shamelessly flirting in person, on the phone, and over text. It's just that I also want the relationship to end.
