Continuing to work is probably good for a man's health if he has no (physical) activities he enjoys and no or very few friends. I agree with this.
That men end up in such a situation is probably due to the fact that too many of us focus obsessively on a single relationship to one person and then give up in the process their social life, their activities and hobbies.
And when the relationship ends for whatever reason you'll have nothing left in your life. That seems dangerous to me.
Instead I try hard to keep my social network alive and meet new people just as hard as I try to keep my relationship alive.
I believe this is what most women are doing anyways. It's also telling that this article is only about men. It's as if men are following subconsciously some kind of misguided role model that will get them to a point where it is most likely even better to continue working into their 70ties or 80ties than retiring.
