Men who never get married and have children are many things—and not all of them are as sad and lonely as Uncle Rob . Despite plenty of studies that show how parenthood and marriage benefit men, a growing body of research reveals that it’s more of a mixed-bag for bachelors than scientists previously thought. There are plenty of upsides (and some downsides) to staying alone forever. Here’s what science has to say about being that guy.

1; Single Men Make Less Money…
Men who stay unmarried make anywhere from 10 to 40 percent less than married men, studies show. There’s evidence that fathers make up to 21 percent more than men without children, and studies suggest men with wives and kids work longer hours and put up with more workplace bullshit than single men. Now, this does not mean marriage and parenthood cause financial success (anecdotally, that sure doesn’t sound right). Indeed, other research argues that men are simply more likely to get married and have kids when their income is already rising. Either way, your unmarried, childless friends are probably making less money than you are.

2…But They Also Have More Friends
They may not work very hard, but single men know how to spend their down time. Studies suggest they are significantly more likely than the average adult man to have several close friends. Since friendships help people live longer lives , stave off cognitive decline , and increase general well-being, close friends are precious public health commodities. Yet one in eight men report not having any friends at all. A lot of these men are married with kids.

3;Single Men Commit More Crimes…
Marriage reduces the likelihood that men will commit crimes, studies suggest, and data indicates that becoming a father quells criminal impulses even further. In societies with a disproportionate number of men who cannot marry or have children, either as a result of polygamy or uneven sex ratios, we tend to see higher crime rates, higher rates of extremism, and more time at war across the board.

DANGOTE is single!

DANGOTE is single!

The daughter just married the other day

My anecdotal evidence says:

1. Single men are more relaxed.
They don’t have females breathing down their necks and steadily confusing their decision making processes.
They however, have one or two females who always stay around, hoping he’ll make them a Mrs one day.

2. They make less money.
Yes. One man of course spends less compared to a family.

3. They have a lot of younger friends.
The responsibility which comes with marriage will naturally wear down any man’s idea of fun.
Since most of their former friends are already married and doing the me-and-you [wife]-always-in-everything life they have no option but to befriend younger males who think on the same wave length.

4. They commit less to zero crimes after age thirty six.
Science says testosterone production drops at the age so there’s zero point in taking risks.

5. They are sexier.
They have more time to engage in hobbies and take care of themselves. This reflects outwardly in form of confidence and presentation.
