FYS or Fall Yellowjacket Syndrome is a pattern of behavior associated with an identity crisis in older
single men, who become bitter, hyper competitive, misogynistic, and narcissistic trying to assert their worth to others when faced with the realization that they will die alone.
Just like a yellowjacket
wasp is more likely to become aggressive and sting in the fall, the male with FYS is prone to lash out, engage in maladaptive coping strategies such a heavy drinking/ drugging, take a renewed interest in youthful hobbies to prove he'
s "still got it", and repeatedly act absolutely
nasty towards younger / more fulfilled
people than himself whom he is envious of.
