I tend to think marriage is an effect as well as a cause. People who get married & stay married tend to be socially/emotionally smarter than people who don't marry and/or divorce. And being emotionally smart has positve effects on other things like income, health, and wealth.
It sounds to me like you twisted the study so that you're seeing only what you wanna see.
Men who stay single, in general, are not happier than married men. They tend to be prone to depression, etc, especially as they get older.
Where do you get this stuff? Are you a psychiatrist, and therefore privy to personal workings of the inner mind in a wide variety of relationships?
If not, you have no more basis than any of the rest of us for such sweeping statements than your own personal experience. And given the personal detail you have revealed, you obviously have zero experience in marriage to a woman.
I can tell you unequivocally that my experience is the polar opposite of what you are contending.
Wouldn't make a bit of difference if he was....as statistical poll data of this nature does not correlate to expectation for any other given individual.

Wow, I had no idea and usually I'm on top of the background information of frequent posters.
Either way, I just felt the need to post a news clip that your exchange reminded me of.
As bright as you are and you got an iphone? Tsk tsk tsk. I had you figured for android, cant believe you drank the cool-aid....
I love my iphone! The screen is bigger and I liked that. The droid doesn't have the apps, at least according the sales people at the verizon store. Granted, I had my heart set on an iphone to begin with, but I heavily use apps (traffic, girly calendars, nutrition, maps, love my star gazer, high graphics weather app [weather and traffic addiction lol]) to name just a few. Plus, my company supports iphone. If I can just figure out how to get my work calendar into my phone, I'll be all set.
And it's very pretty! This is the white phone I have with blue case.
...And it's pretty lol.
That's probably what my gay friend would say about it too. But he's in love with all things apple.

That reminds me of something.
