  1. Black men, before you type comments saying that you disagree, make sure you READ THE F**KING STUDIES ATTACHED FIRST! This is embarrassing! What are y’all doing? Lastly, you’re not disagreeing with ME, you’re disagreeing with the STATISTICS, which is absurd. Show me your research that refutes what I presented. If you can’t, just say the your FEELINGS are hurt by the studies and move on.

  2. Men who work out, eat healthy, don't smoke, don't drink all that much, and control stress tend to live longer too. There are lots of ways to live longer. And you don't have to be miserable to do it.

  3. Marriage benefits children and eventually communities. A by product would be safety and cohesion as a group. Similar to what you see in indian and asian communities.

    The lack of Marriages is a big reason for the destruction of the black community.

  4. So are you saying that black men shouldn't get married and we should just essentially end black lineage because nobody benefits like white people and just have babies out of wedlock? That seems so infantile if that's the conclusion.

  5. It's simple. Married men are simply less likely to engage in higher-mortality activities, such as motorcycles, speeding, recreational risk-taking etc. A single guy could simply choose not to participate in such activities.

  6. If divorce is around 50%, how exactly are black men supposed to benefit from the holistic aspect of the marriage to live longer? Nobody factoring that in lol. We assuming a man is married till death or at least remarries at some point!

  7. I really don't think its a black culture concept. At least not the way white people get married. I think black marriage has always been more spiritual than contract based. Plus we had more then one wife helping. One black man and woman is just going to be more stressful tryin to survive in America.

  8. The stats doesn't surprise me. Marriage was never intended to be a tool for better health. It was intended to be a stable social ecosystem for children (and identifier for whom the children belonged to). Which is why despite marriage not being beneficial for blacks health wise it is still beneficial for their children outcome wise.

    Thus any health benefits that manifest for the husband are unintentional boons caused by constant reassessments of risky behavior that might endanger the stability of the child's ecosystem. Same for the wife, due to having an increased safety net provided to the child by the pooling of two extended family resources. The wife herself benefits health wise since she is allowed to partake in those resources even in her older ages later in life.

    I suspect the extensive dependency on blue collar work by men and student debt by women exceeds the marriage's "capacity" to derive health benefits.

  9. I'm already married 20+ years… but if I have to do it again then… Filipina wife 💯🙏🏿🏆🤣. I got a homegirl who mama take the matriarch responsibility to the Max. She was tracking her husband health and wealth and ran a 4 star household

  10. I hear that bs stat(married men live longer) so much but they love to ignore the men who commit suicide when a woman initiates divorce when a man is so emotionally involved with a woman where he can't even think logically when divorce happens after he loses everything. Married men live longer statement stat is a feminist type lie statistics to get men to do something knowing damn well women use divorce as a money settlement.
