I wonder if it’s not diet related.
I suspect men living alone are more prone to eating fast food than are women living alone.
I’m pretty good at cooking. My typical meal when alone is a meat cooked in an air fryer and a microwave green vegetable.
You’re probably right about dietary differences, single vs. married. It has long been known that married men live longer than single or divorced men, and the happier the marriage, the greater the difference. This seems to make sense. It’s part of a man’s nature to be responsible for his mate and the offspring she bears him, to be the protector and provider. Even if it’s not always unicorns and rainbows, it satisfies something in a man’s nature, gives him a reason to haul himself out of bed and off to work each day, and home again each night. Smart women know this. Really smart women use this knowledge to fashion a happy home.
Good post.
Very good theory.
