See you in heaven...

in about 5 years!


In 2004, a study was done to determine the live-span of men versus women. Women, on average, lived 5.2 years longer than men. This can be for a number of reasons.


1. If a man has a heart attack or any other cardiovascular disease, he usually develops it in his 50s or 60s. Women, on the other hand, due to an iron-deficiency, on average do not develop these problems until their 70s or 80s!


2. Men are more likely to participate in dangerous, risky, and violent behavior. Men are in car accidents more often and more homicides involve men.


3. According to a TIME magazine article, men smoke more, have diets that lead to high cholesterol, and are worse at dealing with stress.


4. Women also have an evolutionary drive to pass on their genes. Also in this, women are more likely to have a need to stay healthier to bear children.




Whatever the reason is, women live longer than men. Sorry guys, but women are not only better at things now, but they will be for years after you pass on.



Women: 10
