I was happily single until my mid-thirties and wasn't even really looking for a relationship. I realize now that getting married probably saved my life. Married men life much longer than single men because they have someone to tell them to go to the doctor.

So yeah, stay single if you want, but get a good doctor and don't skip the annual physicals.



Ironic because people here in the UK don't have "annual physicals". There is no routine preventative medicine on the NHS.


Yeah it's a pretty US centric thing. People here run to the doctor for every little thing and then complain about the price of healthcare and how it's so hard to get in to see a doctor.


There's nothing stopping you from scheduling your own (said as a 43 year old who has one every January)
