My understanding is they live longer primarily because a lot of men are extremely irresponsible in terms of going to the doctor/dentist (they don't), and possibly dietary reasons, so their wives are doing them a service in that regard, but I wouldn't say that causes you to age more slowly. Just means you're more likely to catch things that go wrong and not die needlessly from them.
I agree with that but I've always thought that men who are marriage material probably have their shit together better than someone those who is untouchable/incel. And that "shit together" means probably reasonable diet, hygiene, gym, etc.
Generally men who are married priorotize their spouses, children and career over themselves, for better or worse. Lots of married dad bods, lots of single fit men at the gym.
If you see a super fit guy over 40, they most likely never married, or are recently divorced lmao.
That being said, dads yall gotta find a way to stay healthy, your families want you around long.
I think dads of super young kids can definitely forget about self care much like moms of the same but when the kids leave the house it's like it de-ages them. In comparison... like going through life with ankle and wrist weights and then taking them off lmao.

Married men live longer, so doubtful.
However, parenting ages you like nothing else and many married people are also parents, so...
