[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - you do not have much in terms of solid data to support your position that men are happier being married.

First, our society treats men who complain much worse than women. You only have to look at how words like “wimp” and “whiner” are strongly used to apply to men.

Men commit suicide at higher rates than women, and married men commit suicide at higher rates than married women. While divorced men commit suicide at higher rates than married men, most studies indicate that men losing access to their children is a much more devastating factor than losing access to their spouse.

Bottom line: Your female friends complain more about being unhappily married, but their husbands are much more likely to take drastic action regarding their unhappiness. [/quote]

men losing access to their children is a much more devastating factor than losing access to their spouse - I'm personally curious how many of these men see their wives and children as a means of pleasure versus the other way around as protectors and carers of them.[/quote]

I don't think the men married to women posting here are viewing them "as a means of pleasure"....[/quote]

+1. That's weird and creepy. [/quote]
