If the Daily Iowan can be trusted (never a guarantee), then it's bad news for all the loners out there: being single can be bad for your health.

One quote in particular stands out:

"'Single people feel less supported and, therefore, less likely to take care of themselves.'"[University of Iowa psychology researcher] added that spouses or partners also provide tangible assistance - advising someone not to pick up a cigarette or to schedule an appointment with the doctor."

Thanks, but I'll stick with picking up my own laundry and dying at 50. For now.
