Until the XXth Century, women died first. One of the great advances in public health of the last century was the huge increase in female longevity. No more money should be spent to research cures for female diseases like breast cancer until men have the same life expectancy as women.
We die first bcause we WANT to.
But, things are changing. It is now very pc to have Mom work and Dad plays “Mom”. So Dad will have less stress and Mom will die sooner. REAL men will still die sooner though.
I thought the increase in female longevity was due to the decrease in the maternal death rate.
I am expecting and have a condition that would have meant certain death for me and the baby 100 years ago. I *heart* ultrasounds!!
Right up there with my favorite Ad commercial...”Why is a good man so hard to find?” Woman responds, “Because he’s so small!”
I love it when the story behind someone's screen name is easy to understand.
Why do men die first?
LOL, after reading this email.....maybe because they are whiners? :-)
Everything is a race.
Women live longer than men because they don’t live with women.
Reminds me of this classic stand up routine by Alan King, “Survived by his wife.”

Actually women have always lived longer ,, IF they don’t die in childbirth.
My father is convinced that the neck tie is to blame for this sad statistic. Men are choking off the supply of blood to their brains for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.
Harpy gene
You may reach for the boobs but those claws are OUCH!
I heard it was because they WANT to...
Ditto to all of it, DogByte6RER!
Someone could just as easily write one of those about women. “If you’re a traditional housewife, you’re unfulfilled and/or a lazy leech and probably sit around watching Oprah all day. If you have a career, you’re an evil feminazi who doesn’t care about her kids. If you make yourself look sexy and feminine, you’re a bimbo or a slut. If you go for comfort and not much makeup, you’re a ‘dog’ or a lesbian. If a man is assertive, ambitious and tough, it’s a good thing. If a woman is, she’s the ‘B’ word.” Etc., etc....
Probably true.
To me, I think it all boils down that most of the things about women I find charming have a shelf-life of about 20-30 years. The things I find annoying about them live on the rest of their lives.
Cuz GOD loves men most!...
