Nope, you've got your info backwards. Statistically married men actually do live longer. Regardless of supposed stress levels there is a inborn stress reducer in marriage/patnerships. Besides sex, it's the fact that married/partnered men have someone else who cares for their well being that helps them to live longer. It's also that they have more of a reason to care for themselves to live longer.

married men live longer than single men and single women live longer than married women, yes I've heared that it's true. I put it on google and there were thousands of links saying the same thing. It also said that married men live longer but are more willing to die, lol. It also says that married men are more likely to earn more.

according to my sociology teacher this is the order in which married men and women die, number 1 being the group to die first:
1. Married women
2. Single men
3. Single women
4. Married men

Married men live, on average, ten years longer than single men. And I think married women live around 4-5 years longer than their single counterparts. See:

Dude, I don't know where you are fetching your information from but it's looking a little ludicrous.
Thinking about the woes married life can cause - versus the recklessness single life can cause - I'm supposing it's a fair balance.
If you have concrete proof - maybe I can be convinced that one is better than the other - otherwise - I highly doubt your statement has merit.
Cheers,

In my case, i'm surprised i've survived this long!

I should say it depends on the wife!!! Sometimes, you may think it'll prolong your lifetime to be single...
