Those are all just stereotypes so I don't think it dictates how long people live.

All I have to say is that guys and girls are different.

I deffinatly agree with the first one in my high school guys really don't exspress themselves. I know i always do. why not be excited?? the second one is true also I've never seen a guy show emotions some do but not many. I don't agree with the third one on vices. Lately it's been pretty equal. To have an affair there's normally a girl involved and i know a lot of people who've done drugs guys and girls equally. I can agree with most of it just not the end.

because its part of your culture to have men more publicly ***** than women.

Also, men act more on instinct and have more medical problems. But the more vices one can be true for the overall picture. But not for individuals.

Being that everyone is different, that is not necessarily true. And though the majority of a certain race, culture or nation might do certain things one way, doesn't mean that the majority of men on earth behaves this way.

I think the first 2 are good reasons but the last one is kinda questionable. Maybe in the past drinking, drugs, etc. was more common in men but these days it's about equal, and when it comes to cigarrettes, the average smoker in the U.S is a middle-aged white woman. Sexual affairs? I doubt that really has anything to w/ dying unless you get a life-threatening STD.

i think that men, in their elderly years tend to be miserable where as women tend to be more upbeat. They enjoy the simple things in life. Cooking, gardening, and then of course their family and grandchildren. Men tend to sit in a chair and feel sorry for themsleves and think there is nothing left for them but FOOD. Therefore their bad outlook on life i think does them in, ultimately.

I'm not totally sure on this one, in particular I think substance abuse is about equal but don't quote me on that; I do no that women who attend group therapy session for substance abuse are far more less likely to relapse then men. As for the sex part, hate to break it to you but sex alone doesn't cause earlier deaths, in fact it’s quite the opposite. If anything you are installing personal ethical values not empirically tested data with the part about sex. Also a interesting note is that the amount of women in the United States who engage in affairs is getting extremely close to the amount of men(I believe it was Newsweek who published something about this about 2 months ago), so how do you take that into consideration into your theory?
If anything I would say the two main reasons why men die younger then women is number 1 we don't have identical chromosomes which leads to problems with diseases and number 2 higher levels of chemical stress I.E. high levels of testosterone. And lets face men are a lot more expendable then women. Biologically we are only needed at one point for offspring to be conceived, while as women are needed for an extended period of time. So it seems perfectly logical that women would live longer because it necessary for the survival of the species.
