I wonder what the data looks like if you regress happiness onto age for single women.
I have no difficulty believing single, childless women are very happy in their 20s and 30s. I wonder though if that rapidly changes past 40.
I would hypothesize the same effect happens for men as well.
- yocheckitdawg 6y agoYea, dont get me wrong I think that being a childless woman in your 40s is particularly rough but I don't think it is easy for men either. Loneliness really starts to set in by that age.
- d1zzy 6y agoChildless != lonely, or not having plenty of social contacts. Having kids tend to force one to deal with a certain number of issues which requires socializing of some form, so it may help for those that aren't naturally outgoing and sociable people but beyond that not so much IMO.
