Madeline Dye, 106, of Heeley, in South Yorkshire, England, said her old age was credited to her independence and avoiding relationships, Yahoo News reported.
Dye was born in 1912 and worked as a bookbinder until she retired. However, her niece said she believed her longevity was due to “avoiding the stresses” that often come with marriage and relationships, according to Yahoo News. Dye said she has never had a boyfriend.
Dye’s niece, Diana Heaton, told the Sheffield Star her aunt did not live in a nursing home until she was 103 years old, and only after a bad fall. She said she would cook for herself when she lived on her own, and even put up her own curtains. Heaton added that her aunt still “walks freely without a stick and is very independent.”
“She does still dress herself and goes into the common room and chats with people. She has a great sense of humor still, she has never lost it,” Heaton said.

If you see her picture, you don't wonder why she stayed single. It's really, really hard not to comment on the "tooth." Her choice to stay single might not have been a choice, rather it might have been her curse.
103 years old and still single?
What a horrible life!
Yea, right.
4 other Centenarians claim the key is being married.
Try smoking, drinking excessively, and using elicit drugs for a few dozen years.
It did wonders for me.
