It seems living alone is bad for one's health,  The latest medical study states ” single men could die about eight to 17 years earlier than their married male friends, says Roelfs, citing that nearly all of the data was gleaned from studies conducted in the last 60 years. Women don't fare much better. They could die seven to 15 years earlier than their married female counterparts."   I am open to marriage proposals from any single lady our there-- consider it a win-win and that I would be saving (some years of) your life,

Does this mean polygomy makes you live longer?  I wonder if this study could be extended to the hobby ?  Say an average marriage is 10 years and one gains 10 years of life for that marriage.  Thus for every one hour encounter, and applying a fudge factor like all actuaries do, then for every hour of companionship, everyone gains about 3 minutes.  ROTFL-- LMAO.  Maybe the study can also explan premature graying and wrinkles.
