Seems not getting married favors the men in a relationship more than the women

Not really, no. Married men live longer than unmarried ones on average and widows live longer than widowers.

Then again, that's just the average and every marriage is different from others. Except those of Larry King. Those were same.

Who is thinking that long term? Oooh, I want to get married because when I’m old and senile with brittle bones and no longer have my independence, I’ll get to sit in misery in the nursing home four extra years. Yeah, that argument doesn’t work.

In the short term, men on average have more income and are more likely to spend it on Instant gratification. I can see how it would look tempting.

I mean if life span is the only metric you look at ... Sure, I guess.
