#3 Macho men, unlike Stef Shuster (pronoun: their), are likely to pass their genes to the next generation.

#5 In other words, Macho men got married. Maybe a few times. To Women. After the divorce(s) they had financial problems and became hermits. How did the ex-wives of Macho men make out?

#7 Conclusion

Physical sports will lead to 'a host of health and social issues' in advanced age. Exercise and use of muscles may result in early death.

If you 'subscribe to the ideals' of facing hard work, responsibility and a little danger with courage and a smile, rather than flock to you people will desert you.

Not whining about everything, not consulting every opinionated acquaintance over every little event in your life will make you a nervous old wreck.

Those who seek 'outside help', chiefly psychiatrists and other 'experts', rather than introspect and evaluate themselves in solitude, are healthier for it.

Your spouse dying is almost the same level of mental stress as moving house. In fact according to the expert, for all your 'stoic posturing' you're no better'n a dang piddly poodle ! So start acting like it and make the expert some money goddamnit !

#9 I had, in my youth, idly wondered just what Cousin It looked like with a summer haircut. It we hardly knew you, old man, but the gibberish, that gave you away!

#10 Well, yeah, statistically there are a lot of old women out there than there are old men. A hundred years ago it wasn't the same. Seems the patriarchal medical establishment spent a lot of time working on that to invert the mortality curve. Started about the same time women got the vote. Just saying. Something about without social security, medicare, et al, you needed a lot of kids living to adulthood to provide 'honoring thy father and mother' in their elder age. That meant a lot of births, to also cover loses in childhood mortality of the time. A lot of wear and tear on the body doing that.

#11 I'd like to see the numbers for toxic feminists. That doesn't seem to matter these days.

#12 /\ Hasn't mattered in decades. They're simply another entitlement category. Drug free, white heterosexual males w/o bun.... not so much.

#13 Indeed, male boomers ‐ those born between 1940 and the mid-1960s ‐ are increasingly struggling to maintain and forge friendships as they retire, which is, in turn, exacerbated by relocating homes or their partner dying.

Sorry soy buy, but this cat's experiencing the exact opposite at age 55. Just yesterday I pulled in not one, but two new corporate clients. These people were all great and we came together not only on a professional level but because we personally like each other. It's therefore very likely I now have two more clients who will be clients for a long, long time. Professionally it may have been my best day ever, but this simpering twit asserts otherwise, with zero evidence. 'Struggling', my ass - it's more like thriving.

Also, one more thing - for all the nuance the left claims to understand, anyone else notice there's only one type of masculinity with these clowns, and that's naturally the bad kind? Not terribly clever, guys (who will never be toxic)!

#14 Raj, what's the over:under for new tax breaks on virus 'related' illness prevention expenses?

Upgrading personal, vehicle and home ventilation systems with microbiome filters?

#15  at age 55

Raj, I think you are Gen X, so of course you can be as hypermasculine as you like, without repercussions. It’s only male Boomers who are punished for it, according to the good professor, who carefully limited his study to older men and women lest he be forced to draw conclusions he didn’t like.

#16 You give me the conclusion, and I'll give you the study.

#18 "Ye sons o' Bill, daughters of Rodham,
Beware of the onset of autumn!"
"Yo, Boomer, don't blather:
As rosebuds we gather,
A robot be wiping our bottom."

"As we binge-watch literally totally re-imagined massively interactive holographic non re-runs of the best. anime. ever."
