109-Year-Old Woman Said Secret To Long Life Is Avoiding Men

On Jan. 2, Scotland resident Jessie Gallan reportedly celebrated her 109th birthday.

Her reason for living so long?

“My secret to a long life has been staying away from men,” “They’re just more trouble than they’re worth.”

“I also made sure that I got plenty of exercise, eat a nice warm bowl of porridge every morning, and have never gotten married,” she continued.

So basically, the key to living a long, healthy, and happy life is to avoid men forever and never get married.

Thanks for the invaluable advice, Jessie. Happy birthday!

UPDATE: Gallan died in a nursing home in March 2015.
