They look after themselves better healthwise (diet, getting healthcare in an appropriate time scale, etc), men do not tend to visit doctors until things are very bad. Also males engage in a lot of risk taking behaviour that women do not engage in, this leads to a lot of younger men dying accidental deaths.

War is a major contributor as well as occupational hazards. Lack of testosterone. Let's not forget, too, that women are a leading factor in driving men to an untimely death. Some scientists say the life expectancy gap between the sexes is narrowing and soon men may outlive women.

This is an 'average' statement, and on 'average' men do more physical jobs in society than women (do you have any idea how hard it is for a woman to become a construction worker in my country?).
-
Because women are better at some stuff, one of which is living longer - on average - than men.

there has been a great amount of research going on regarding this. Considering both to be average here are some reasons: 1. Stress: A major contributor. Man usually are more stressed out at work (remember even in these modern days man is still considered more important bread winner). 2. emotions: women tend to be more emotive and vent out their emotions, griefs, sorrows. This helps to relieve stress. Whereas man tends to brood and hold his emotions to himself. this is another stress contributor 3. life style: woman tend to eat 'healthier' than man who usually prefer junk food or dont care much other than to 'grab a bite' 4. Some medical researches point out to better genetic composition which gives them a little stronger resistance and capability against chronic diseases 5. household factors: in many countries women still are housewives and tend to look after house, children and pets. This activities may be tiring but are great stress busters (although not all women would feel the same).

not to be stereotypical, but most women are very concerned about their health and how to maintain a good body weight. we also tend to make doctor's appointments regularly. in another sense, i don't think we're as daring as men come off to be.

ever spent much time with a women? i'm surprised us men just don't kill ourselves

We nag them to death lol.

The will to live dissapates

Because they always have to have the last word lol..
-
Men get bored of the constant nagging and decide to go to bed early.
-
Most likely because of mens psycology. Women are more likely to seek out medical advice than men and so therefore get better treatment sooner. Men are less comfortable to seek help.
-
Less stress, they take better care of themselves, men usually work in more dangerous occupations. But I think men are catching up in life expectance since more women are working now and smoking as much as men do.
-
healthier lifestyles. More cautious behavior (e.g. in driving). Less risky jobs. Lower suicide rates.
-
They say the real reason is that men do not WANT to live any longer......

hopefully this will change. I think that masturbating on a regular basis prolongs lift. On average I feel more men masturbate more frequently than women but I'm at about 2500 orgasms (age 20) including masturbating/sex, and plan to keep this going until i kick the bucket. more orgasms = less stress also less chance for prostate cancer
