They say that certain singles activities, if done too often, can make you go blind.

I hope not, I have been for toooo dang long...

Yeah...I agree...otherwise I could be declared dead!

If being single is unhealthy I must be on my last breath. SOMBODY QUICK, COME GIVE ME MOUTH TO MOUTH.

Me too

Married men live longer then single men, but single women generally live longer then married women.

There's a statistic somewhere for that, I can't remember off the top of my head where I had seen it.

Of course, it's all a matter of personal will and how one responds to being in a relationship vs not.

Single men have been known to be five times as likely to suffer IUSDDS than married Women.

IUSDDS is Instantaneous Unearned Spontaneous Decapitation Death Syndrome.

What's the difference? The FBI gets people declared dead who are healthy and alive. Single or married, doesn't matter.

To be declared dead is no longer the stigma that it once used to be in the dating world. In the radio carbon-dating world.

nope.

a relationship is only as functional and mature as the people in it.

being single allows one time to become the kind of person who would be up to the task.

I think it depends on the person. Some are better than others dealing with loneliness.

It does say in the Bible that it is not good for man to be alone. I do find I'm healthier and happier when I'm in a good relationship.

I agree...I don't think though that being single is unhealthy, but like Lex said being with someone can be unhealthy, (if that someone obviously doesn't work out)...
I like being alone, I don't feel unhealthy, or sad...

No, but McDonalds is.

I KNOW NOTHING ELSE..............

I've been single 9 years, and i'm definately sad and lonely. I was ok upto about 6 years then after that I started to feel sadder. Now i'm so depressed and feel like there must be something wrong with me, other than the fact that I look 60 years old in my face. I've not had sex, or even kissed a girl in 9 years. No girl has even shown interest in me. Its definately done serious psychological damage to me, being single this long.

I've not even got a single friend that cares either. All my mates do drugs, and meeting in my town is near impossible. Girls all just look at me weird as if to say "what are you talking to me for?", and lads dont wanna know either, so making new mates is near impossible, cos no-one gives a **** about anyone else here. All I ever do is sit at home on my own listening to movie soundtracks and trying to chat on the net, saying simply "hello" to people and getting about 1 answer in every 200 messages I send.

So, yeah being single can be devastatingly unhealthy after a certain amount of time.

You are asking if being single is unhealthy? Nope you get less headaches and are a lot happier LOL

Is it unhealthy being single? I think like many things it differs from person to person. Also it depends on the person you are with.

True dat!

There are many reasons married people tend to be healthier, not the least of which is they tend to be wealthier. Published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, a 2006 study found that, compared with married people, people who are widowed are 40 percent more likely to die, people who are divorced or separated are 27 percent more likely to die, and people who have never married were 58 percent more likely to die. Authors believe that social isolation in never-married people may play a role in increasing their relative risk. However big these differences in death risk sound, they are actually quite small compared with some other more important factors. For example, people in their 50s are more than 1,500 percent more likely to die compared with people in their early 20s.
