I don't know, maybe in my serious moments I might be slightly curious.
Maybe this is why?

| slower metabolism and multiple orgasms. sex is death for men, life to women. lifestyles also play a role. men on average tend to take more risks (e.g. smoking, climbing mountains without a harness) and all deaths associated with those risks enter the statistical database. |

Add in men tend to work more risky jobs, more stressful jobs. |

Uh-oh.....
Pssstttt! Run for it fellas! I hear Bramble and Freaka come'n!
(Just tease'n Ladies)
My take on it? 'Cause us men can't handle see'n our better half die'n as well as the ladies can. Men probably wouldn't know what to do with themselves without their woman. Helpless as a babe.... |

Men tend to (a) do more physical jobs and (b) abuse their bodies more with alcohol and drugs.
No mystery here. |

My thinking, too. Just another defense mechanism. Absent AIDS, I'll bet we'd find, statiscally, that gay men live fully as long as women do. |

Females bleed each month, which increases production of new cells. Males lose protein and essential lipids at various rates per month, even weekly or hourly. I don't really know a nicer way to put that. Just a theory.
Females can also make milk. That probably has something to do with it. |

It's the old joke:
Why do men die before women? Because we want to. |

generally speaking, women are tougher than men and have a higher pain tolerance.
I've heard that, in a general sense, the female body is better built than a male's. |
