The average life expectancy does not look very scary (although it's bad) - 68. If you look at males and females separately, it gives you goose bumps if you are a man - 58-59 for men (was 57.5 in 1994)! Women live about 14 years longer - 72-73 (data from around 2003).\n\nAnd even if you're wealthy, but drink and smoke as much as a normal Russian does, you won't live long!

It's not 'how long you live' it's more 'how well you live'. an example: \n\n2 guys both aged 80 die. One exercised the other did'nt.\n\nThe quality of life and health up to his death would be far better for the fit guy than the sedentary guy. He could probably play (not a super tough game) with his great grand children in the back yard\n\nThe other guy is more likely to have been in a wheelchair for some years.\n\n'Use it or lose it'

Statistics prove that married men or those that have a life long partner not only live longer, but have better health in general while doing so. For those not in a relationship, a pet can give a similar result.

We are supposed to enjoy and live our life normally and never think of how old are we and when are we going to die. Nobody knows how long he is going to live to tailor his life accordingly. Some people married after the age of 70 or 80 and they begot children and lived happily. Others died on their wedding days or some years earlier. The general rule is that a woman could be considered old if she cannot have children any more if you need them! . For the man it is the ability to practice job and sex and do whatever appropriate with to age.

Given the fact that women usually have higher metabolic rates than men therefore, women usually have a slightly higher pulse rate than men.\n\nKeep in mind that there are many other factors that have a much more significant impact on pulse rate than gender.

I have never mastered the art.\n\nThe reason women live longer than men is that they don't choke themselves with neckties.

The reason men die before women do, is because they want to.  It gives them a few years of peace before they see them again in the Great Beyond.

Clearly people are designed to live MUCH longer than they do. Trees live to be over a thousand years old. Turtles can get older than people. Our brains only use a smidgen of their overall capacity before we grow old and die......something is wrong. \n\nHumanity was originally designed and placed to enjoy living, and all the experiances, arts, sciences, work and play that goes along with that. That orignal purpose WILL be realized, once the great issue of universal sovereignty is proven and established. \n\nHow can we as imperfect human decendants of sinners even contemplate what that experience will be like after that great day? People then will not be the way they are now. They will not be bored......ever!

"Studying people who live 100 years and more leads Harvard researchers to conclude that menopause is a major determinant of the life spans of both women and men.\n\nWomen's life span depends on the balance of two forces, according to Thomas Perls, a geriatrician at Harvard Medical School. One is the evolutionary drive to pass on her genes, the other is the need to stay healthy enough to rear as many children as possible. "Menopause draws the line between the two," Perls says. It protects older women from the risks of bearing children late in life, and lets them live long enough to take care of their children and grandchildren."\n\nRead more at the source link.

Men's minds are a whole world that is probably very dangerous to go any further into. But they do tend to mentally mature at a slower rate than women do. It's all that testosterone, I bet.

It not that they get sicker than women.  I think women in general are a little tougher when it comes to dealing with sickness.  I know that men are supposed to be "stronger", at least physically but women are tougher mentally.  And that's the same reason why women can give births.  Men don't.
