Wrong, at least partly. I am in my fifties but I am in excellent health,
far better than many in their thirties. I am what is often referred to
as a "Gym Junkie" and am obsessive about diet and nutrition. As is my
wife who is more than a decade younger than I.

Not in my experience, nor in any statistics that I have read. Most seem
to spend quite a while before committing to another relationship. They
certainly are swamped with available ladies, and might well sample a
few, but committing to a marriage takes time.

More nonsense. You are full of unsubstantiated opinion aren't you?

Absolute nonsense. Whatever your personal experience might be, it is not
a template for all others. Many, many people are very happy in long term
but not married relationships.

I'll just bet you do.
