Well duh, any time a man hears the words marriage, children or LTR, its a no brainer that his cortisol levels see a sharp rise....

All the while his t levels drop (and his hair falls out).

Quite tragic

I find it interesting how women once married prefer their man to not want sex anymore.

If testosterone is tied to aggression and risky behavior, I can see why humans may have evolved that way for the benefit of their offspring. Also, if a decrease in testosterone means a lower sex drive, that may be to prevent him from impregnating his mate too quickly after she gives birth. Breastfeeding does the same thing for women; it's more difficult for many women to conceive while they are breastfeeding, because their bodies "know" that they can't sustain a fetus yet.

Sounds about right. The lower testosterone would have a "domesticating" effect on the man. Make him more patient with the energy his wife has to expend taking care of the newborn, and it would render him more tender and nurturing towards his newborn offspring. Perhaps more accessible to the baby.

Not surprised, what do you think happens when a man surrenders? Oops, I mean, settles.

Guess that would explain men driving mini-vans.

Well, a testosterone derivative is often responsible for male baldness. If anything, there could be an argument that lowering levels my thwart a bit of hair loss.
