Sure, we all could.
My entire point was that there’s some data behind the theory that being alone is not good for your health & longevity. YMMV, and I think your last sentence summarizes it well. IMHO, not too many people view being alone as pure heaven.
My point is that men's preference for younger women is not socio cultural. It is not something that can be changed via political will. It is deeply ingrained in men's brains to prefer what they prefer through millions of years of evolution. Men have always preferred younger women and they always will just as women have always preferred higher status males with more resources and always will.

I’m not bitter at all. I love being married
LOL!
There are always outliers, and what works for one may not work for another. My entire point was a generalization, backed by humanity’s desire for an interconnectedness.
If the hermit life works for you, then so be it.
We deserve to be considered by Muslims.
So then don’t s*** on other people that say marriage is a waste.
Yes, and one “fine” day, there will be the devil to pay - in some cases, quite literally :-(
Their spouse becomes their horse? :-0
Oh, the poor children, they surely must look odd, to say the least... ;-)
Sorry, Sir, but I could not resist that (avovedly lame) pun :-)
Furthermore, as a man with Asperger’s, I often tend to overlook the figurative meaning in any given sentence, taking it in the literal sense instead...
Yup, indeed we are.
Hah, I easily fit that bill, 37, and fairly fit, but I have way better options than a used up 45 year old woman.
