Just for fun:
Have you ever wondered why women live longer than men?
Is it biological? Or, is it just because men do stupid
stuff and get themselves killed a little more often?
Presented here for your enjoyment are 9 photos showing
how men often shorten their own lifespans.
Why Women Live Longer Than Men
Whoa.....
Whoa.....
Married men don’t really live longer that single men, it just seems that way.
Women live longer because it always takes them longer to get anything done.
Thanks for the laugh!
Married men die first because its the only way to get away from their wives’ “Things To Do” lists. (He says and then ducks.)
More seriously, men do the dirty, dangerous jobs that women don’t. Men fill their lungs with coal dust working the mines, drive trucks on icy roads, splice electrical cable in ice storms to restore power, and do the combat duties that women aren’t suitable for.
we need to do foolish things so we can get AWAY from them!!!
All them are great examples of male creativity.
A woman looks at a gas can and matches and sees a gas can and matches. A guy looks at the same thing and sees a world of possibilities.
When I was an electrician, we called that "working it hot with a ground rod up your butt".
Thank you so much! The man was a genius in his field!
Women are as a group inherently less prone to taking risks. Women also have an advantage in longevity due to the health advantages of genetic redundancy with two X chromosomes, whereas men have an X and a Y.
On the upside for men, incidence of genius is much, much higher due to wider genetic variation. On the downside and possibly feeding into shortened longevity on average, incidence of absolute stump stupid is much higher as well due to the same wider genetic variation, all thanks to the influence of the Y chromosome.
