Women are happier without children or a spouse, says happiness expert
Behavioural scientist Paul Dolan says traditional markers of success no longer apply

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyl ... ess-expert
“We do have some good longitudinal data following the same people over time, but I am going to do a massive disservice to that science and just say: if you’re a man, you should probably get married; if you’re a woman, don’t bother.”
考虑到数据来源是美国的 survey,结论可能仅限于美国群众。
Dolan’s latest book, Happy Ever After, cites evidence from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS), which compared levels of pleasure and misery in unmarried, married, divorced, separated and widowed individuals.

寿命不等于生活质量吧。

结论里说“...happier and live longer",寿命是作者衡量标准之一。

人天生基因的内在动力是繁殖,不是追求幸福。有这个本能在,好像有选择,其实没选择,幸福才这么滑不留手。

基因的内在动力也不是长寿其实。让女性更长寿是生育和养育孩子。

原话是:
Men benefited from marriage because they “calmed down”, he said. “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 said.
幸福怎么衡量不好说,寿命是硬指标。

说得对。用幸福和长寿来衡量人生,算不算”反人性“? :mrgreen:
