"Women get sadder" - did they survey the cougars at the rooftop at Gansevoort? They seem pretty (scarily) happy to me....

I wish my wife was a cougar. I guess I should stop going to the gym so at least she'll have something. Oh, sorry, did I say that out loud.

Off topic but, I wonder how many homeowners that housing bill is gonna help, given all the limitations (like giving up 50% of any gains after 5 years) written into the bill.

@ Finnegan

7. It will help exactly 7 homeown(ed)ers.

"...the study that is to be published in the Journal of Happiness Studies."

Really you don't say? THE journal of happiness studies? I guess they couldn't name it Coke and Hookers Monthly

@14:

Ha... my guess exactly, give or take 7. I am thinking Fannie and Freddie will just end up holding sacks of really bad weed.

And in other news KKR going public.

#7: Yea the Craigslist rebuttal said it all. With age men get more desirable (richer) and women get less desirable (less attractive). I'd put the inflection point at 30-35, not 48 like the article.
