Remember the scientist who said single women were happier than married women? He had to do the moon walk.

Every one of my wife’s single friends want to be married. They don’t want to be single at all.
I never believed that study lol
Edit: Just on Saturday one of them said “I need a boo so I can go on the next vacation with y’all.”
We did a couples trip to Jamaica and Cancun in 2022 so they ready to join the gang
I mean some women like being in relationships during the winter while it’s cold and the spring/summer they back dressing nasty thotting it up

A couple on this board used this study as their fall back. I kept wondering how the study was conducted yet never got an answer. We now know.
Hoes all over my timeline were sharing this study when it came out.

A lot of academics are so eager to have their theories validated, that they take egregious shortcuts to get the answers they want.

Many books aren’t fact-checked, and we’re increasingly realizing they’re full of errors.
Women should be wary of marriage — because while married women say they’re happy, they’re lying. According to behavioral scientist Paul Dolan, promoting his recently released book Happy Every After, they’ll be much happier if they steer clear of marriage and children entirely.
“Married people are happier than other population subgroups, but only when their spouse is in the room when they’re asked how happy they are. When the spouse is not present: f***ing miserable,” Dolan said, citing the American Time Use Survey, a national survey available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and used for academic research on how Americans live their lives.
The problem? That finding is the result of a grievous misunderstanding on Dolan’s part of how the American Time Use Survey works. The people conducting the survey didn’t ask married people how happy they were, shoo their spouses out of the room, and then ask again. Dolan had misinterpreted one of the categories in the survey, “spouse absent,” which refers to married people whose partner is no longer living in their household, as meaning the spouse stepped out of the room.
Oops.
The error was caught by Gray Kimbrough, an economist at American University’s School of Public Affairs, who uses the survey data — and realized that Dolan must have gotten it wrong. “I’ve done a lot with time-use data,” Kimbrough told me. “It’s a phone survey.” The survey didn’t even ask if a respondent’s spouse was in the room.

A new book says married women are miserable. Don’t believe it.

Doesn’t tell us why it just says they’re miserable. Correlation isn’t causation.
It’s women who are more motivated to get married or to pursue long term relationships not men. Men tend to want casual sex not relationships

All this shyt is based on self reports. Who knows what's really going on. People in relationships naturally will defend their choices and claim to be happy otherwise they have to explain why they're still with the motherfukker they chose. What I want to know is why people care so much about other people's relationship status. shyt is weird. If you're happy why would you be obsessed with what the next man or woman is doing with their life? Somebody is lying.
This really doesn't apply to BW though. BW divorce rate is 3 times the marriage rate. The strong desire for many BW to get married isn't translating to fairytales and sunshine for BW.

My wife has a few unmarried friends and you should see the dead look in some of their eyes. Decades of accumulating baggage has taken its toll. And these are women who could have gotten married but wanted to hold out for that unicorn man that never came.Every one of my wife’s single friends want to be married. They don’t want to be single at all.

Yep. Hate to say it but I know one who does the same. She’s holding out for a unicorn but that’ll never happen
