Marriage - A Better Deal for Men?

Amanda Hess makes a strong case

"Married men make more money and get more promotions than single guys. They live longer, have less heart disease, drink less, smoke less weed, and experience less stress. Meanwhile, married women have less fulfilling sex lives and less free time than their husbands. They also have smaller paychecks. (They do get to keep smoking the same amount of weed). These factors help explain why women are less into marriage than men are."

STTA
  • One assumes there's nothing really that surprising here; why then are we surprised to hear it stated so bluntly?
  • Hess also has some interesting observations on marriage and weight gain. Do they match your expectations?
