Speaking to The Guardian, Paul Dolan, a professor of behavioral science at the London School of Economics, claimed the latest evidence he gathered suggested that traditional markers of success do not actually correlate to happiness, particularly when it comes to marriage and raising children.
quote:

“You take less risks, you earn more money at work, and you live a little longer. She, on the other hand, has to put up with that, and dies sooner than if she never married. The healthiest and happiest population subgroup are women who never married or had children,” he added.

Or a dude fighting to avoid committing to a monogamous relationship.

“See, honey, my research proves you’ll be happier if we never get married!”

Like I always say, the only thing worse than being single is being in a shitty relationship.

Can't imagine throwing kids into that equation

I agree from 18 to 25, then they start having panic attacks about their ticking baby making clock.

The Guardian wants to make sure everyone is miserable and woke.

I'm happier with no kids.

I just bought I bunch of studio equipment recently. I'd have rather spent it on cool selfish shite than on clothes that will be outgrown or jr high class rings, etc.

So I understand that self centered thinking just means you being able to get the cool shite you want.

Some years ago there were articles about research showing that people are happier if they:

1. Are married

2. Live in a small town

3. Have a pet

4. Do not watch or read the news
