According to this page, single men have a 250% higher mortality rate than married men. Not sure about the accuracy of that statistic, though.

Married Men Live Longer

Side note: But commit suicide much more often (joke)

No, but ironically unmarried women tend to live longer than married women. Conclusion? Men need women more than women need men.

Here is a random link:

"This study finds that: 1) remaining constantly in married status results in longer life expectancy than the never-married, ever divorced, and widowed for both sexes "

This is from the early 90s.

I should think so... 🙂

But then again, they say sex 3 times per week makes you very healthy... But what married man gets sex 3 times a week !?? BAZING!!!!

I will take my chances staying single...

Factor in that half of them will end up single due to divorce.

i wonder if there are more heart attacks while having sex with a woman or furiously mastering your baiting skills

I read a study on that at some point that said they do not. Something to do with horrible health habits of most bachelors.

 

[jadinolf]

NO, it just seems longer🙂

I think it goes--

Why do married men die before single men?

Because they want to.

 

[thegimp03]

haha...makes sense that married men live longer. they're probably happier at least.

Married men may have better immune systems as well, either from support or from nagging to monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, etc... and may be at less risk to catch colds (Cohen et al, 1997)

the "nagging" is what I am talking about. you know when you can't get a woman off your back. 😉
