Every time some normgoroid tells you that men in marriages are happier, healthier, etc, just remember divorce rates for retiree's are triple what they are for younger couples. Marriages work when husbands and wives never spend any time with each other. They're just codependent financial arrangements. Husbands and wives HATE each other. The grass isn't greener
>>83688970The healthier angle is also just because the wife tells them to go to the doctor and stuff. Literally that's it. If you just take care of yourself it doesnt make a difference.
>>83688988>If you just take care of yourselfWhere do you think you are?
>>83688988>If you just take care of yourself it doesnt make a difference.to be fair I am infinitely more likely to do something gay like a colonoscopy if I have a wife or kids
>>83688988I'm paraphrasing Dr K. and you're going to hate me for it, but studies have shown that men in long-term relationships, marriage or not have lower cortisol levels then men who are alone. It's not as simple as go to the doctor, it's more about the chemical release that your body gets when you are "in love" and get physical interaction with another human being.No i'm not going to find a source, fuck you.
>>83688970>Every time some normgoroid tells you that men in marriages are happier, healthier, etcI've never actually heard this stuff. Pretty much all men I've ever met see marriage as some sort of prison, either in their future or present. My married normalfag coworkers talk about their wives as an annoyance, like they've been fooled into marrying them and now they're stuck. They want me to find a gf and marry her so I can go through the same misery they are going through. I think good marriages exist, but they are as rare as good women. The average marriage seems to be all about a dead bedroom, debt, annoying kids ruining any chance of sex, lots of chores and childcare. Basically two wageslaving housemates who no longer have an intimate relationship and exist solely to raise kids, retire in their late 60s and then live a boring life till death.
>>83689011Being blackpilled doesnt mean never scrubbing your feet. That being said, I know the majority of normies simply are like that. >>83689013Yeah, and it's also the whole concept of accountability buddies. It does help, but it is not some secret magic that keeps you alive.
>>83689017Yeah because they have someone to take care of stuff so workload gets spread. You might argue that being loved helps with oxytocin etc but how many people are super duper lovey dovey.The majority is going to the doctor, and then a stressfree life. Not wife magic.
>>83689017I call bullshit, mainly because a lot of married couples have kids. Having kids pretty much destroys your financial situation, sleep schedule and freedom. I would be stressed as fuck living paycheck-to-paycheck with debt and knowing that if I lose my job I'm likely gonna get divorce raped and lose my house. This stuff also makes marriedfags more likely to not leave abusive jobs, which only further raises their stress levels.
>>83689017>>83689035If you allow me an unsourced claim as well, divorced men have lower life expectancy than both married and single men
>>83689020Statistically married men have more money, live longer and report being happy more, because as much as being chained to some annoying twat that watches property brothers all day might be, having an extra income makes life less stressful and being alone literally saps your will to live. and those statistics get thrown around a lot by lifegem normalfags online a lot. HOWEVER what is rarely brought up is how quickly marriages deteriorate when husbands and wives spend excessive time with each other. Covid caused a megalithic spike in divorces too, the same way retirement does.
>>83689062I dunno dude, I live with my parents and will never buy a house. I'm already on track to retire early.Most married normalfags my age have mortgages and live paycheck-to-paycheck. And part of that poverty is the fact their wives buy a lot of slop and demand yearly travels. But also buying a house and the paying it off for 30yrs is fucking retarded if you ask me. You end up paying like twice, not counting inflation.If I was going to marry and buy a house, I'd be in the same shit these normalfags are. I'd get scammed with interest and I'd have to care about cost of living BS. As it is, I live on 30% of my wage, without even trying.
