75 Years In The Making: Harvard Just Released Its Epic Study On What Men Need To Live A Happy Life

In 1938 Harvard University began following 268 male undergraduate students and kicked off the longest-running longitudinal studies of human development in history.  The study’s goal was to determine as best as possible what factors contribute most strongly to human flourishing.  The astonishing range of psychological, anthropological, and physical traits — ranging from personality type to IQ to drinking habits to family relationships to “hanging length of his scrotum” — indicates just how exhaustive and quantifiable the research data has become.  

One of the most fascinating discoveries is that aging liberals have way more sex.  Political ideology had no bearing on overall life satisfaction, but the most conservative men on average shut down their sex lives around age 68, while the most liberal men had healthy sex lives well into their 80s.

Many of us "mature" mongers are righties. and hpygolky, just take a look at the P&R board.  The lefties are the angry ones over there.  Yes, small sample size but take a look at JD and I, always polite, no name calling.  Ha

Btw, I know several old men who yell at kids in my neighborhood all the time, they're lefties  

But, I don't read too much into this.  Individuals in our little world are all over the political spectrum.  

And, I do my part to lift the economic status of millennial women, frequently   LOL

First of all I doubt the findings
Harvard, being one of the most liberal areas in the country, doesn't even know any conservatives
But if liberals live longer I'm not surprised: we conservatives have had to do their work and pay for everything for decades

Conservatives are more generous to charity. Liberals much less so. I'd wager if there was a poll of escorts they'd affirm this fact. Just look at all the liberals whining here. Its what they do best.

Certainly explains why aging conservatives tend to be crankier than us liberals.

...is at the top of the food chain in his job?  He's got his feet up on the desk and smoking a cigar while all the little pissants (Dems) are working hard to make him mo' money.   That's why he has so much time to post here - at least that's what he'll want you to believe.

you may want to read it first. Just because you hate God and are a cheap bastard doesn't make it right.

And I "Hate God", I don't even know him/her (that's to piss you off) but I can see that you have a "relationship" with him. So it's cool, now go hug your bible.

...Take the Koch Bros. for example:

Liberals give to charity to be charitable.  David Geffen donated $200 million to UCLA for the medical center.  He also gave $100 million to build a school for 6-12th grade children of UCLA staff in order to keep good staff at UCLA:

Geffen also gave $100 million to Avery Fisher Hall, $25 million to AMPAS, $10 million to the Westwood Playhouse and $7.5 million to MOCA.

...thumping righty.  He stands in judgment of others claiming they hate God when he is bitch-slapping God and the Bible with his 137 reviews:

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 ESV  

"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral...nor adulterers...nor the greedy...nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."

You and USG should practice what you preach.  "greedy," "swindlers" - no more OTC for you!

I've never seen such a robust advertising budget. Or does Network and Cable give all that advertising time for free? Seems like a small consortium of businesses have created quite a money machine out of sympathetic, patriotic American's donated money. Did they advertise during the Superbowl?

Do you have any proof of anything you ever say?

Lots of liberals don't write off what they give to charity.....which is about the only reason Righties donate.  
   
 Also, I saw some idiot ask in a different thread, "Are there any atheist charities?"  
   
 Actually, there are quite a few.  
   
 Unlike Thumpers, they don't feel the need to brag about helping others.

I guess I'm just crabby today.

I'm a veteran and served in Vietnam and for several years after.  
I have 3 kids, 2 are sons.
Both served several tours in Iraq and that hell hole Afghanistan.  One is sound of mind and body, one has a sound mind but a badly broken body thanks to an IUD in Kandahar.  

The Wounded Warrior Project was and still is a major source of assistance to my wounded son.  They modified his home to be handicap accessible and helped him with counseling.  Wounded Warrior wives supported his wife and my grand kids in so many way,  financially, emotionally and just being there to help solve problems.

Instead of linking to news sites about the Charity Navigators ratings, maybe everybody should read Charity Navigators ACTUAL rating report, it's in the link.  Oh, what a novel idea, real facts.
The fact is that Charity Navigator rates Wounded Warrior Project at 3 out 4 stars and an overall score of 84.52 out of 100.  It's actually a good rating.  Not a scam in anyway.  Scores 96% on transparency and accountability.  It takes money to raise the kind of money they do.  They spend that money generously on wounded vets and their families all over this nation

Some of you who post about this should get your faces out of the news sites and go volunteer at a veterans center instead of posting worthless rants on a fuck board.  PM me and I'll give you some opportunities in your area

There are a couple of very effective programs in Vegas.  It might be helpful to get out from behind your computer and actually DO SOMETHING about the plight of another human being who sacrificed much so you could sit in your apartment and post all day.  

You probaly don't have PM so just let me know right here and I'll send a list of programs with events this weekend. They can always use a volunteer, even if you"re still in a wheelchair, many of them are too.

I'll be checking in to see.....

posting in general (lies, nonsense, dishonest distortion, temper tantrums, making things up etc. etc) I do not believe him that he knows someone who worked for WWP. He just likes to stir up shit for no reason.

Regarding WWP, while it has been reported that there have been some lavish outings said to be training sessions and said to spend a lot on ads, there is no doubt that WWP does a tremendous amount of good for Vets.  

My best to your son

Thank you
