Married men have lower testosterone

I don't know if this is old news here but it's interesting. "Even though high T people are very social, they can also be more irritable and confrontational. "On the average, high-testosterone individuals are tougher, and low-testosterone individuals are friendlier," says Dabbs. This difference may have evolutionary advantages in how we reproduce and raise children. Higher testosterone may be important in securing a mate, but lower testosterone may be better for being a good parent and caregiver. Dabbs, in fact, found that married men are lower in testosterone than single men and that testosterone levels dropped when men get married and go up when they get divorced. He also found that men have higher levels of prolactin and lower levels of testosterone immediately after they become fathers. "Perhaps these hormonal changes set them up for the gentler activities of parenthood," Dabbs concludes." Testosterone: The Magic Molecule That Can Make Us a Hero, a Rogue or a Lover | Jed Diamond
