New Useless Study.

Coincidentally, not ironically. Also, disregarding the accuracy of the study, I don't find it to be completely useless. If anything, the hidden message to unmarried men is "don't get married," but I would bet a lot of money that it was intended to get couples to try to work out their problems.

Problem here is that I think "lifespan" is a horrible metric.

Would you rather live to 95 or 100... with a wife that is constantly nagging, and having spent the majority of your most productive years slaving away until say age 70 working endless hours every week scrabbling to earn enough money to pay off the massive debts acquired to provide a "suitable home" and extras for a family, but knowing that a significant portion of what you do manage to earn (at least above the debt-slavery) is effectively squandered away by an irresponsible (and virtually never satisfied) woman.
Or would you rather work for a decade or two, be debt free and cash positive by say age 40 (or 50 at the latest) and then be able to "retire" (or at least pull back to some occasional management/consulting role) for a subsequent pleasurable decade or two, and -- instead of living a tortured existence until age 90 -- pass away quietly in your mid 70's.

I'd rather have the latter.

EDIT: In fact, let's put it in even simpler terms, we often hear it said that "Life is a Journey" -- OK then would you rather:

A. Take a 90 day trip on a cruise ship -- the "SS Wedded Bliss" -- that has some exciting & dramatic "activity" pre-planned for nearly all hours of every-single-one of those 90 days... but also as part of the deal, during 1/2 or even just 1/3 of that trip you will suffer from massively burdensome bouts of dysentery, dry heaves, and sea sickness; possibly even contracting malaria, yellow fever, etc.; you'll survive the trip, but only by being rolled down the gangway in a wheelchair hooked up to several IV's.

Or...
Take a shorter, let's say 70 day trip -- on the "SS MGTOW" -- where you, have the occasional option for a self-guided "on shore" expedition, but otherwise just comfortably relax on deck, read a book, go for a swim... and yet remain healthy and happy for all 70 days of the trip (ok, we'll concede maybe a day or two of "seasickness" during the first week); and you can comfortably exit the ship at the end, walking off into the proverbial sunset.

Duh.

we need a study comparing never married men to all other men (married plus divorced). Average life span, average net worth, etc. I think including the divorced men in the single men group is why the stats are skewed. Divorced men should be included in the married men group or they should be separated out as their own group

Unless I'm misunderstanding the methodology, there are some serious issues when looking at those numbers. 1. Every teen who dies in a car accident is "single" 2. Hypergamy dictates that homeless men will be "single" 3. Gay men until very recently were all in the "single" bucket which would truncate life expectancy greatly during the height of the AIDS crisis 4. Divorced men die "single"

None of the traditional reasons for a man to be single apply to MGTOW.

What Bill Maher had to say on the topic

So what if I live 5 to 10 fewer years compared to the simps who lived 45 - 50 years of their lives being miserable in married life?

many trips in an elevator which come equipped with little infomercial screens

Sounded dystopian already...then the bullshit 'infomercial' confirmed it. Am damn glad I don't work in an environment like that.

Bet widowed men are in the 'married' category.

I see those 70 year olds all the time here in AZ, why in the fuck would I want to be around that long? Those dudes can barely see, have trouble making it to the toilet to piss and their dick doesn't work.

So, you basically a blind child that pisses on himself and can't bone the nurses you end up having to live with
