| Single male seeks single female, object : to shorten your life
expectancy and make you miserable. AKA marriage.
Isn't honesty refreshing :-)

Like I said in .0, there are always exceptions.
p.s. I would never consider speaking for my wife. At least I try
not to.

| 629.5 | Live longer but happier? | BIGMAC::JAROSS | | Mon Jan 04 1988 12:41 | 19 |
| My older single women friends may live longer (some are very active
and well into their 70s) but I'm not convinced that they're happier.
These women had strong careers when their friends were raising kids
and they have the respectful title of "Aunt" but many of them would
liked to have had the opportunity we now have of working and having
a family.
I don't doubt your statistics on men at all. I occasionally tell
my husband that all he really wants is a maid who f%^*s!
On a tangent, does anyone have a copy of the poem that appeared
in the very first issue of Ms. Magazine entitled "I need a wife"
-- it was written by a woman and was basically a laundry list of
all the things she needed a wife to do. It still holds true . .
. especially now that we're working mothers and don't have the time.
No wonder we're destined for shorter lives -- we're burning out!

| re .5 and women needing wives
Over the holidays I had dinner with a college roommate from years
ago...one of those friends where *nothing* ever changes regardless
of how much time passes between contacts [this is the bonding
referred to in another note...].
She is still raising a family (children age 10-20), and has never
worked outside the home, although she works plenty hard IN the home
as they have a severely handicapped child, age 17 with mental age
less than 1. I don't know how she does it; she can't understand
how I did it!
But we both agreed that I would have been far better off if she
had been there the past 20 years to "keep order in my life"...

| How the heck do you measure happiness?
Aside from that minor problem of different expectations interfering
with benchmarking "happiness quotients", I'd say women who remain
single are much less likely to have children. That alone might account
for it. No, women don't die too often in childbirth, but it is a
strain on the body. I find it hard to believe that the statistics on working
women would have become significant yet because the working population
is a relatively new phenomenon, and the women are not yet dying
off (jolly thought for all you moms!) So who knows? In this type
of study, there are so many variables that numbers are almost useless.

| re .5 (women need wives)
My eventual career goal is to work for myself, at home, specifically
so I can stay home and be a house husband, particularly when the
kid(s) is (are?) young. I have always thought men unfortunate for
missing out on this bond with their children.
Any takers? ;-)
