Single Men Die Younger Than Married Men….WTF?

[Joey CusackParticipant 1044]

(Apologies if this topic has been already discussed)

Every now and then I come across an article that states that single men tend to die quite a bit younger than their married brothers due to health related issues. As someone who does not want a marriage listed on my resume as well as being an exercise and health nut since my teens, stuff like this gets my attention.

Here are 2 articles addressing this:

http://www.nbcnews.com/id/44122528/ns/health-behavior/t/single-people-may-die-younger-new-study-finds/#.WHajOVMrJEY

And:

http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletter_article/marriage-and-mens-health

What do you guys think about all this? I have a difficult time with articles like these because being single is truly where I want to be and I have been in enough relationships to know without a doubt that being single is healthier for me in every possible way.

On the other hand I can see how a person who WANTS to be married, who does not do well when alone – this person may be severely depressed and as a result not address his mental, physical and spiritual health. This might be the person the articles are talking about.

Are all us MGTOW destined to check out early?

There was an article on a thread months back that woman and nagging causes strokes in men and heart attacks. I don’t buy the research for one second. I know from speaking to a neurologist that they see it a lot, guys end up having strokes because of a nagging entitled wife.

Research like that can be easily skewed to get the result they want.

On the flip side of that you have your 50% plus divorce rate with 60% plus being initiated by the women these guys get divorced raped reduced to living in a basement charges sometimes for things they do and some of these men commit suicide I don’t see that on the article anywhere. Those links above are feminized even if it was true quality over quantity of life for me. I’ll never go that road again it’s another trick to bring you back to the plantation.

Aloha means family you don't leave family behind. Who will be the next Draconarius for MGTOW? MGTOW = brothers = acceptance = belonging

F~~~ the stats, I’ll take my chances. I was in a depressed state for about five years or so, until I filed divorce papers to unc~~~ and reclaimed my life back. Another story…before my father-in-law divorced my mother-in-law, I thought he was going to die any second. Almost 7 years later (post divorce), he looks 10 years younger and is happier and doing s~~~ he could not have done in his previous condition. I see with my own eyes.

Even if it were true, SINGLE MEN DIE HAPPIER!

Feminist propaganda bulls~~~! Married men plump up like their landwhale wives then race each other to the finish flat line!

I look at it as a statistic myth. How do you statically compare the entire life of a single and a married man.

My personal experience was that the time I would put into the gym decreased when I was married, my personal time to relax had decreased, my free time was put into back breaking work of building a house, landscaping, digging fence holes, when there was debt to pay down I ate s~~~ food (noodles and canned food), while the woman continued to eat healthy. (I found I also drank more hard liquor to drown out the noise when I got home) Clearly not healthy choices…

Now I am single and I have a routine to go to the gym, eat healthy, do what I want to do with my free time and spend my money where I want to spend it. (Personally I have decided to attend church again more so for the connection to others and ability to self center.)

Agreed.

To quote my father: Married men don’t live longer son, it just f~~~ing feels that way.

Yes, and indoor cats live longer than outdoor cats but….

If I had married I would already be dead.

Married men actually die before single men.

What you see walking around with an old wife is a propped up zombie that keeps repeating “yes dear.” The guy has not actually been really alive for many years.

[Mr.KraftParticipant 236]

I’ll tell you why single men die before married man. They die from happiness. From all the sluts and stds. From all the cocaine. From broken bungees. From snake bites in amazon. From a wound in a war. From an invention blowing up in their face.

They die honorably and happy. Not like f~~~ing married dogs.

Tower nailed it.
Is it quantity or Quality.

Live your life. I hear that all the time at work. Single men are 3500 times more likely to die sooner than married men.

But who has lived Life?

[Heave-Ho MgtowParticipant 1797]

I would rather hit the exit sign a few years early and be happy. Two years with and ungrateful c~~~ would feel like 5 anyway.

Gained three right there!

skip the cavernous vag and go your own way

Seconded,

If it weren’t for my boys, I’d be single now for sure. Last time I really had a zest for life was when I was single or in the honeymoon stage of this relationship.

Your life span is largely determined on how you care for yourself. No amount of propaganda changes that.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

[CataphractParticipant 2656]

Also in many of these stats, they often classed divorced and widowed men as “single men” which skewers the data.

Marriage: About as appealing as wood-chipper diving.

[DarkRyuParticipant 2354]

I truly, truly believe this for one simple reason. It has been proven time and time again that loneliness and unhappiness is more unhealthy for you than obesity and diabetes. These men don’t die sooner because they’re not married. They die sooner because they’re LONELY and UNHAPPY because they THINK that they need a woman to be happy and have social interaction. These are probably men that remain unmarried because they’re not rich/good looking enough to snag a wife. They didn’t choose to be single and they’re miserable because of it. But don’t worry men. This does NOT apply to MGTOW because we CHOOSE to be single and we find our own happiness and social interactions.

[uchibenkeiParticipant 7965]

Correlation does not prove causation. Married men live longer is the wrong conclusion. Think Darwin. Women choose healthy, wealthy men for marriage. These men live longer than unhealthy, poor men. They can afford healthcare and already take care of themselves. Females choosing healthy providers is common in all species, as Darwin has taught us. There is no magic a woman provides that extends your life. Also, men who commit suicide after divorce are counted among single men but they shouldn’t be for this discussion. Clearly marriage shortened their lives. Feminist arguments tend to be specious. Watch out for them.

I bathe in the tears of single moms.
