A recent study measured levels of happiness in married people.

Men tend to be happier than women as they grow older.

At the age of 41 husbands are happier than their wives about their financial situation.

At age 48 men feel more overall happiness.

At age 64 men are happier with their family life.

Do you agree?

Apap's out toiling as I type, so I'll ask him when he gets home.

At 50+ I'm sure he views me as the Millstone around his neck. But I bet he'd say he is blissfully happy. That's his story and he's sticking to it since we share a bed. ;)

hehehehehe.... I'd only get one crack at it...

Apap and I have been together 13 years now. We have yet to have a 'fight'. hehehehehehe tho he'd probably love to choke the living poopoo out of me at times ;) I can do that to a man. It's one of the many talents I've acquired over the years.

MoonOwl, I am rolling in laughter with your comments. We are probably not in those statistic numbers as hubby being 45 and I just a year younger (can't seem to write those numbers..LOL) being married for 24 years, we are still one happy couple. Wait a minute, I had to go back and reread the topic as it just dawned on me, is the topic about Men just generally being happy no matter what and it's us women who have the issues? Darn YD, I can't show this to the hubby he won't let me forget it and then I'll have to buy him that new motorcycle on his wish list...LOL. I can contribute the "happiness" of our marriage to the words of my Grandparents, "never go to bed angry at each other, always work it out." Well, we may not always worked out our disagreements but we always go to sleep with a smile on our faces....LOL.

The study deals with which sex has the "majority" of greater happiness at these ages.

It seems that all of us "pinko liberal", troublemaking ner'do wells" seem to be pretty happy putting other "misguided" bloggers in their places.. The other side, with which we spar with, don't seem to be too happy some of the time.

Maybe that's the key? Be a troublemaker to RWNJ's and be happy!

It seems that our marriages make us happy and if our spouses disagree, they are obviously mistaken.

Truth be known, after 38 years I still don't have her whipped into shape. We are both happy with each of the criteria listed in the study however. I'll keep trying.

I like the part of "if our spouses disagree, they are obviously mistaken." That left me laughing. I have to admit, my hubby has developed a "look" from day one that leaves me melting and has perfected it even more so over the years. I am putty in his hands, but enjoy every minute of it...lol. Congratulations on your 38 years.

And as for the misguided bloggers, perhaps one day, we can all realize we are here to just exchange ideas, and give everyone a chance to say what's on their mind, while being respectful at the same time.

And at age 75, most men are dead and the wife is happy again. Thus complete's the great circle of life! *ROFLMAO*

Husbands die first because they want to so the study may be flawed. I do believe that women are less happy as they age since the President has inserted the adoration of everlasting beauty into our culture.

Right stang. The worst thing a wife fears is the day that the old geezer gets his viagra meds.

I know Dumbo has done a lot of really bad things Vit, but "inserted the adoration of beauty"?

Oh, I get it. You're talking about #42...he was really big on insertions into beauties.

Studies have shown that liberals are miserable for their ENTIRE lives - THAT's why they're liberals. If they WEREN'T miserable, they wouldn't have anything to b!tch about. Having nothing to b!tch about, by definition, means that one is not a liberal.

This is irrespective of age. It is a "cradle-to-grave" thing.

A textbook example is that tub-of-lard, Rosie McDonalds. Michelle "My Belle" Obama is another.

You forgot Teresa Heinz-Kerry and Mrs Dennis Kuchenich (she's gotta be miserable looking at that little weinnie, first thing every morning). How 'bout Jesse and Al? Is the "slut" happy?

RWNJ's are however, very happy.

They are anxious to believe the latest version of the daily "big lie", are content on receiving the news of the world from big, fat, windbag, hypocrite, drug addicts and blindly followed corrupt, perverted and criminal politicians to the edge of the cliff and beyond (proclaiming the evil of "liberals" the entire way).

Damn Dog...

Have you been hanging out at the gym "a lot" lately? From the looks of that avatar, I bet you have been eating a lot of that low carb "dog chow" too huh?

The pic definitely goes with your writing style, smack em’ right between the eyes.

Carrot juice and tofu, Joe.


I'm ready to rip the heads off of RWNJ BBL'ers with my bare hands.

YD I believe this 100%. The reasoning is simple really...as men age they digress to little boys and when have you EVER seen a trully unhappy little boy??

Men are more content at older ages because we just don't care anymore. Our brains are numb from the battering we have gotten all our lives.
We're happy because we know the end is getting near and soon we will be free of the torment. :)
Just messing...I am fresh from a 3 yr divorce and the wounds are still fresh and my wallet is always empty. Judges seem to have male deafness...as in they can't hear men when they speak in court and only hear the womans side of it. Oops...need to save this for my own blog..sorry YD.
Hey whats RWNJ? Really Weird New Jerseyians? Redneck White Neckcar Jerks? Looking good for someone married 38 years...lol...

Hey TA. How ' you been?

It gets back to the point that men are stupid (little boys) and women are crazy (sorry ladies). Sort of a "Mars/Venus" sort of thing, stated in a simple way (so the guys can understand).

A very good point TA. I have missed your smiling fingers.

Right Wing Nut Job, Phil. A "term of endearment" for my Bush, Rush, Falwell (rest his soul) devotees.

If not for them, our blogs would be pretty dull.

Say what you wish Phil. My ACLU card makes me a "free speech" sort of guy (Frank may disagree but you can't please everyone all of the time).

BTW. Where have you been hiding DF?

Been good YD, just got back in town from a much needed vacation, thanks for asking. :)

LOL Phil those were good definations for RWNJ. Personally I don't sit on either side of the fence so I can appreciate the humor each side tends to bring out in others >:)

"free speech" YD?? is there really such a thing?? or is it just another (de)illusion to keep the herds in line?
