It is a fact that women, in general, outlive men. It's just how our bodies were created. Although women are physically weaker in terms of muscles, our bodies can survive longer than men's. I think one factor is the fat distribution in our bodies. I once learned in Discovery Channel that it is more deadly for men to get fat than women because their fats get stored first in their internal organs, whereas women's fats are usually stored first in the skin only. So it is actually ironic how women are the ones who are obsessed with getting slim when it is men who should really be watching their weight.

I would have to guess that women end to take better care of themselves. Most men do not make doctor appointment unless there is a problem. Men are hiding any ailments as well. They have been taught to basically not to be a wimp or other name calling when something is hurting. Men have a tendency to bear more responsibility of caring for families back in the day earn two family incomes was unheard of like now. So I would have to say that society and lack of self care contributes to the demise of more men than women. Statistics are probably going to change now.

Yes, this is a very interesting thing in fact... Boys are being born more than what girls are, but boys die younger than what girls do. It is the same as older too, so the women are alone, and the guys are in hell or heaven (if they even exist)

I've noticed the trend too, but of course it's not always the case. This may be due to the fact that men have more vices than women. Men are more prone to smoking, drinking, overeating. Women on the other hand are more health conscious. They take care of themselves more than men do.

It's because of emotions. Guys tend to be secretive of their emotions than girls are. Negative emotions have a great negative impact on our bodies. Just think, when you're very sad, you don't feel well at all right? That's an example of how this explanation works. The more you hold back emotions, the greater the chance of your body getting sick. the chances of hypertension is greater.

I think that guys have a stubborn personality. Girls knows how to control their selves in health matters unlike guys. Most of us guys thinks that we should do it while we still alive. An example will be when eating fatty foods. We don't control much like girls do right? Another thing will be stress. Guys do most of the heavy things that girls don't do coz we don't like our girls be in vain while we have the strength to do it right? But it is just my opinion :D
