- qwerta 12y agoCorrection: married men must earn more & non-divorced men live longer :-)
- Danieru 12y agoSorry, which study did you cite for this correction? Or are you just proposing a potential confounding variable?
- jbuss 12y agoI didn't read these but the headlines don't surprise me at all. Men who are most productive in their jobs possess characteristics that would seem to make them better "catches" and are more likely to be married. Likewise, men who will live longer are often in better shape and more attractive making them more likely to get married. Nothing about "being married" causes either of these things in my opinion.
