O/T Married vs Single

It's been said many times, and probably proven by statistics, that married men live longer than single men.

However---this past weekend, I accompanied my wife to her high school class' 50th reunion. There was one male member of the class who could easily have passed for 15 years younger than the rest of the class.

Yep, the only guy in the class who never married.
 
Maybe it just seems longer...........Nah, we just passed 42 years; sure doesn't seem like 42 years.
 
How many women looked 15 years younger than their actual age? And a follow-up, how many of their husbands looked like they were auditioning for Dawn of the Dead?
 
Married men don't live longer because their married. Who would marry a guy whose rotting away prior to marrage. Circus (single)
 
I don't know quite why it is, but I've been around a lot of old people who seem to think I am being foolish to stay single and I am only 24. It seriously seems to bother them. They think I should have a girlfriend and constantly pester me about it. They keep telling me I am marraige material, LOL!.
 
WELL having been married for going on 55 years,next month. And never regretted a minute, I can say I found a KEEPER. Met her in the Hollywood USO and knew when I saw her I wanted to marry her. She was beautiful inside and out. Nuff said CC
 
My wife said to me once, "I am just a life support system for my *agina"

I thought Hmmm.........You finally figured that out after 11 years of marriage.
 
Misery loves company, and the women to not want the truth to get out about men being single.
 
Married men may truly "exist" longer than single men, but the question is whether they have really "lived" all those years. Like a lot of other things in life, quality rates more than quantity. But what do I know, I"ve only been married a little more than 40 years.
 
I"ve got a buddy that has a saying.....You can"t live with them , Pass another beer...I"ve been married for almost 30 yrs..To an Arab-Hillbilly.. The hillbilly part isn"t too bad, But when that Arab part kicks in.....Look Out!!!!
 
I dont know about that statistic but I"m a 40 year old guy that said for years I"LL NEVER GET MARRIED. Then I went and got married 7 months ago after knowing the lady for only two weeks. Since getting married I"ve gained nearly 15 lbs but I"ve taken my belt up a notch. That"s right, gained weight but decreased my waist size. If I shaved my moustache I"d easily pass for 10 or so years younger but I"ve always been told I looked younger than I am anyways. As a twentysomething I had several "exotic dancers" at my beck and call and back then thought I"d never say NO but now where others complain about not getting enough I"ve got more than I can handle and then some from one lady....and when I"ve got the energy left over and don"t have to say no it"s always GOOD. All that aside I can say that there were perks to being single and having a girlfriend, lots of toys, etc but when there was no one around it could get awful lonely at times. It"s so nice to know when I get home there"s someone there that loves me and cares about me. When I get ready for bed I know there"s someone there to snuggle up with. When I have a problem I know there"s someone that I can share it with....The list of perks goes on and on. The main thing I"ve found is that as long as a husband and wife can be open, honest, and communicate then married life is pretty good. If you start hiding your feelings, lying, and stop communicating then your looking at he11 on earth for sure. All I know right now is that I"m happier than I"ve ever been and looking forward to a long life together with my beautiful wife.

Having a long happy life as a married man/woman only takes finding the right woman/man and having a willing state of mind to admit that while you may be right or you may be wrong someone needs to compromise.
Most young men/woman today are not willing to put in the time or the effort to do that and if they do take the time they want to run the first time everything does not go their way.
Simple upbringing because we now live in a throw away society.

My wife and I have been married for 25 years and 7 days now. Would not go back and change anything; even the bad times because it only made us stronger as a couple.
 
Lust or pity is why most women get married. I just can't figure out why they STAY married once they really see what they got. How many guys would put up with a woman that chewed smelly rotten leaves and spit all over the side of the car/truck? One that had a pony tail of sweaty stinky hair sticking out from each arm pit and flaunted it? A beer gut and a plumbers crack that won't seem to stay covered? Hair that has all slid off the head and down to the back? A hairy picky face that he is the only one that thinks is cool? We're damn lucky any of them will even give our gender a second look. So if you are lucky enough to have one lower herself enough to marry you and put up with the "male animal" then thank her every day because if you find yourself single again after 40 , you might as well move in with the proverbial "Rosie Thumb and her four daughters". Met my wife when she was 15 and I 18 in 1969 , married in 1971 and still am. Both virgins to each other and always will be. You younger people probably wouldn't know anything about that though. Oh by the way , no STD,s to worry about either!
 
Mother and Dad married Jan 1, 1942...Dad left this world June 10, 2009....He was 88, Mom is 89...Women long ago married for life, now MOST marry just to try it out.......


MAY GOD BLESS THE USA
