That Pook article was hilarious, but he avoided one essential dichotomy: the short game vs. the long game.
Testosterone might rule the short-game, but we live in a complex societal structure full of subtleties that have evolved way beyond the short game. Life spans are much longer now, and stable long-term relationships call for a delicate balance of Jerk/Nice that our cave-living forefathers could never comprehend. The big change that age brings is the awareness of the long game and what it takes to play at another level. Not necessarily better, but different, with its own rewards and challenges.
