Do women live longer than men? Why?

Research studies indicate that women all over the world outlive men- - -even in some of the poorest countries. Why is it so?
There could be several reasons for this amazing phenomenon. Primarily it could stem from women’s biological, physiological and psychological make-up. Since times immemorial, women have been noted for their strength of endurance and tolerance.
Have you not come across, many outstanding women who have risen above men in times of family and community crisis? Perhaps, it is this “inner” strength which makes women distinctive while adding to their longevity factor. Or is it specifically their genes? What do you think?

@hostessman That sure is a funny reason. But perhaps it may be true to a certain degree.

It is written in the genes.Also, I think that men let their medical issues go and are less apt to take care of their health. I think also that women are care givers in nature and this gives them a feeling of accomplishment and so they feel good about themselves. Where men feel responsible and work at trying and unfulfilling jobs a lot of the time. Physiologically men are usually stronger and put more stress and strain on their bodies.

Yes generally women live far longer then men, very few men in my family have gotten past late 70's, but women often make it to 90's

@chrissbergstrom Its up to each man to avoid making this phenomenon a rule.
In my next discussion, I'll try to tackle this problem. Most important: Think Positive!

I think women, in general, are more concerned about health.
