I know a guy who is alone, obese, smokes and is an alcoholic. Eek.

probably explains why spouses that were together for many many years and one of them finally dies, the other passes shortly thereafter....well, actually, i think that applies more to men, i think the women get along fine quite nicely afterward.

I think that it's probably a natural selection kind of thing.

If you're alone, you're not protecting anyone and you're not procreating, so what do you need to live for?

I'm not good when I live by myself. ESPECIALLY if I'm not working. I basically become a vampire.
