If you’re not married, no one else will notice.

Yes they will, unless you are hermit and live in a cave.

A 2019 study from America found that unmarried people had “significantly higher odds of developing dementia over the study period than their married counterparts”.


This second paragraph utterly contradicts the headline premise. Which is it? Married or unmarried?

The people I’ve known developed the problem after a spouse died.

An agenda-driven “study” that seems only too happy to report that marriage makes you weak-minded.

I think you may be the only poster here so far who actually read the article. The second paragraph does indeed contradict the headline.

The men in my family typically die before their wives do. Why? Because they want to.

I personally doubt this, because it seems to me the more you have to learn to adjust to new situations they healthier your brain is. If this were true, than studying anything should cause dementia because you’re having to learn something new.

And an anecdotal sample size of 1 is so definitive.

Also from wiki...

The song’s lyrics have been the matter of debate, often interpreted as an attack on U.S. politics (especially the draft). Cummings, who composed the lyrics, said in 2013 that they had nothing to do with politics. “What was on my mind was that girls in the States seemed to get older quicker than our girls and that made them, well, dangerous. When I said ‘American woman, stay away from me,’ I really meant ‘Canadian woman, I prefer you.’ It was all a happy accident.”

A further reading gives evidence of a newer study than 2019, which forms the basis for headline premise. I may read slowly, but I don’t read far enough.
