    Wasn’t there a study done on this? That women are happier being single and widows don’t try to find another husband.

      There have been a few of these studies. One had an author misrepresenting data. But single women are shown to be happier than single men across age groups iirc. Older single men are happier than younger single men. Married men and single women I think compare on happiness with some having single women happier. Oh and married men live longer.

      May you always have plenty of your preferred analgesic on hand and a nice cool washcloth for your eyes 🙏

        A cool washcloth on your eyes hits so good after a long day at work.

        Especially if it’s right after a nice hot shower.

          Lay in a hot bath with a cold compress on your eyes.

          (why, yes, I’m short and keep a stool in the kitchen so I can reach the snacks my boyfriend keeps above the cabinet.)

    Exhibit A that homosexuality is not a choice. A lot of women would definitely swear off men if they could just “decide” to not be attracted to them.

      Fuck, I’d swear off women if I had the choice. Most of my hobbies and my job are male-dominated, plus, the amount of women I click with is just lower than the amount of men.

        I have the opposite problem. I’m a male and I “click” with mostly women. I’m married and all my other female relationships are purely platonic, given my wife and I are traditionally exclusive to each other, but I don’t really “get” most men.

        I’m also autistic as fuck, so maybe that’s why.

      How many straight people would choose to instantly double the pool of potential mates, if they could make the same choice?
