Why Women Outlive Men By 6 Years

it is official women live 6 years longer than men in America do and that life expectancy gap between the two genders is only going to increase what is going on so you're saying instead of that movie series Grumpy Old Men it's going to be grumpy old women or happy old women depending on the situation anyway guys this is some big news because actually the life expectancy in America has dropped for the first time in several decades uh actually two years despite medical advances in technology so this sparked a ton of comments across the internet so make sure you like subscribe and turn your notifications man but one thing that while you are here that's going to make your life tasty it's smalla sauce it is shipping out right now made in America it's vegan it's high quality we're very proud of it and it tastes very very good so uh according to the National Center for Health statistics uh they're examining mortality data Andrew women have always lived longer than men in America for a century however that Gap is getting bigger maybe it was 2 years three years four years 5 years now it's all the way at 6 years and it is due to the following factors accidental injuries makes sense diabetes suicide homicide heart disease um women do less drugs or they're less likely to be heavily addicted to them uh men are more likely to be incarcerated work dangerous jobs be homeless they have a higher burden of disease and they have a difference in health behaviors women are much much much more likely statistically to seek preventative care when they see something kind of going down the wrong road with their health whereas guys usually by the time they see the doctor statistically it might be too far gone no guys really don't want to see the doctor we're just like no it's just growing but don't worry about it and then yeah and uh just the overall us life expectancy went down uh Pro probably fueled by covid and deaths of Despair which are uh factors related to Suicide drug use alcoholic liver disease uh economic hardship depression and stress so a little bit of a uh Downer but we I think the most important thing is like everybody got a weigh in on why that is cuz I don't think anybody's really like shocked by this yeah I guess I'm not really shocked but seeing how the world is and how many like substances people like to do and how much like guys are doing stupid things for the clout like there's this whole Instagram page called like men doing stupid things or something or or you always see that little comment this is why men's life expectancy rate is lower than women when you see the guys uh Wing gliding through the mountains yeah or the guys who are doing like the the the show like car things that get hit climbing buildings without any sort of wires yeah just Reckless stuff that's like in a way kind of pointless obviously guys are also productive too they work a lot of the hard jobs but they also want to just do a bunch of Reckless stuff right right right you're talking about construction jobs you're up on a crane you're up on a ladder somewhere I does it matter that a lot more men are probably in the military on the front line you know type thing I mean all those things are factored in guys I mean listen War still like in terms of on the ground combat it's still like probably 99% men as far as soldiers wise and then also uh I know that there's a stat that says women go to school more than men like go to college more than men like women are starting to outnumber men with with college degrees so right in the undergraduate I I would assume that the more you go to school maybe the less likely you're going to do reckless stuff yeah you're not going to take on those short life behaviors um I think at the end of the day my quick thought is like man the life of a man and a woman and I'm talking about in a large generalized sense I'm not talking about everybody on an individual basis your situation could be different they're pretty different even in 2023 yeah like I just always thought like a man felt like he had to go out and do things whereas the life of a woman it was almost like more incoming emails and guys you're almost always sending out outgoing emails yeah and I think in a super General sense and um women's life expectancy is 93 guys's life expectancy is 73 essentially that's what accounts for the difference you mean 79 oh no I'm sorry 79 and 73 that's the six year and um I do think in stem and Tech it's almost like the lifestyle between the men and the women does not have as big of a gap but in more like old school Fields it's almost like the woman's at home and the guy's like up on a rooftop somewhere you know what I'm saying like I'm saying in stem and Tech and Medicine it seems like the lifestyles are more standardized between a male and a female like tech software engineer yeah I guess I'd also be interested to know the life expectancy of men and women immigrants to America because I think like there are more immigrants to America than there was in the past and so I don't know if because like saying that might be skewing it a lot more men like I don't know I don't know who's more immigrant men or women maybe men because they usually come over first to work generally yeah migrants are probably mostly men if you made me guess um a lot of people and we're going to get into this Andrew they basically say it goes back to the caveman days testosterone versus estrogen testosterone leads you to just have more high-risk behaviors and highrisk behaviors lead to high-risk volatile outcomes whe whether that's a upside outcome or in this case obviously leading to the lower median average of lifespan downside outcomes yeah um the tea the testosterone pills man everybody's taking up the testosterone pills I do think Asian guys to be honest they are a little bit different in the sense that Asian guys you know I don't know Asian culture in General Andrew it is little bit less volatile in my opinion whether it's due to Buddhism or I don't even know I mean I'm sure there's like a million reasons but if you just look at the stats of Asian people in general whether that's uh you know just crime or like just certain volatile behaviors is way low yeah yeah yeah I would I would suspect that the Asian male life expectancy in America is probably past the regular proba significantly higher honestly if you made me bet we pop it up right here um I would say that other people might be like yeah but that's cuz Asian guys got lower testosterone that's why you guys are more feminine and feminine means you live longer huh Asian guys I don't know you know what for me I would say it's not really actually I don't think Asian guys have lower testosterone but I do think the oxytocin where you that leads to behaviors and how you express that testosterone with IRL behaviors is different whether it's culturally or whatever genetically just any decision or desire that's going to lead you down a path of like substance abuse or risky behavior um I think those things definitely are damaging people's life expectancy and there's a lot of substances out there it's very easy to get well I mean Andrew just look at the celebrity desk that we've seen over the past year or something like that how many we're guys right and we're going to see more celebrity desk guys you know also why because there are also more celebrities now yeah that's a good point want to hear about it more let's get into the comment section somebody said I uh saw this study that only looked at monks and nuns because they live very similar very structured repetitive days of work in prayer there was not a big significant difference in life expectancy between the men and the women when they're monks but the thing is 99.9999999% of people are not monks right right right yeah I mean it goes to show you that I think the lives are different right um in Iceland and Japan and or those are the other two countries that are very very high in Iceland the gap between men and women is only three years but the Gap in Japan is still six years even though overall Japan is higher than America so it goes to show you that there's still a difference and probably possibly it goes to the uh work culture salary men etc etc drinking sake late nights with the boss who knows the Shogun it um that you know um so people said you know statistically if you're just born into a rich country and you eat a lot of fish and you your country doesn't really allow drugs and alcohol and excess you'll just live really really really really long obviously referring to Japan and Iceland yeah yeah yeah probably um somebody said overall life expectancies going down somebody was saying well you know I just think that women have also picked up a lot of bad habits that were traditionally male now a lot of women excess smoke eat rubbish and party and fornicate do do you think that's true I I don't know I I guess I mean listen if everybody it don't sound wrong I don't know if everybody does more risky Behavior what do you think's going to happen but then somebody said yolo isn't it about the quality of life and not the length see here's the thing Andrew what is quality of life yeah yeah so this is a debate guys you let me know in the comments down below is it better to just live until you're 85 or live a crazier life until you're like 65 honestly I I mean look at the just the whole statement of YOLO I'm here for a good time not a long time more people nowadays especially our age and younger are choosing to live the more Dynamic lifestyle dopamine shorter wild core memories release a lot of dopamine oxytocin throughout your shorter life because they're just going to assume those last 15 20 years of life anyways what does it mean what are you going to do somebody said Evolution has determined since that women are the better more practical ones who contribute more positively that we should live longer survival of the better quality we don't need egos pride and vanity and domineering attitudes so evolution is now just curtailing men this was a uh you know the whole you know it this turned into a you know Pro male Pro women testosterone versus estrogen argument um somebody said uh you know I'm an older man and I realized I always wanted to live a good life really long long life but now that I'm older at 80 I'm I'm pretty much ready for this thing to be over I mean I think it matters a lot like the life that you set up for yourself right like if you're enjoying grandkids and everybody's got a good relationship together uh you know everybody's situation is so different people said that men and orw statistically really handle divorce very badly they're less likely to get remarried they separate themselves from their families they said the kids have a natural tendency to cling to Mom because obviously the kids were birthed by Mom so basically the guys uh you know sometimes it's almost like a death sentence while living wow yeah I think a lot of people would be shocked to realize that men I believe commit suicide at a higher rate a certain segment of men actually commit suicide at a higher rate than women right even the women attempt more the guys have a much higher success rate statistically I would say this man there I there certainly needs to be a uh more talk around mental health availability availability for guys and taking the stigma way because for sure um somebody said life expectancy is not just genes biology and Physiology it is biobehavioral if men are apt to engage in physically risky Behavior such as jumping off a cliff diving off Niagara Falls go on ketogenic diets for a year on very high protein to build muscles and for example that could keto is good Andrew but for certain people with like liver and kidney problems is not good like you got to like consult your doctor before you go on Hardcore keto and um basically men are also like basically isolate themselves a lot more um somebody said please everybody guys it actually goes back to diet everybody is eating horrible refined carbs in America eat a Mediterranean diet and be happy how much of it if it is like the food pyramid CU for the longest time Andrew the government in America actually had the food pyramid wrong is food getting better in America or worse like I feel like better than the 90s it's got to be better than the 90s because if you think about it all the preserved food in the 90s was probably worse than the preserved food nowadays and nowadays there's just more options but do you think that people are making the right choices it almost feels like there's more Fitness gurus than there's ever been like that are like 50 or 60 you can see these buff guys on YouTube with like six packs but then maybe the average person is making like as bad choices as they ever have there's more fast food I don't know man I don't want to blame it on the food I don't think the food's the biggest Factor man I'm not I'm not buying it I'm not buying that the that I think it's lifestyle okay well I got some more theories for you for you to give your let's go with the theories somebody said it's really the pharmaceutical companies testing everything else on us Americans man just medicine pills trying to make existing conditions worse so basically you every everybody's just taking pills for everything but nobody's really adjusting their life all this stuff is not a cure it's just designed as prolong to Keep Us Alive to you know drain Insurance of money uh and then somebody else said no no no come on don't give it as excuse you just are what you eat it all goes back to that old adage you are what you eat I mean you have choices in life I think that's the point yeah somebody said no it's because nobody's caring about men anymore and this kind of led to like a whole you know like more like a manosphere talking point being like men are very ignored and people always want to talk about the uh pay wage Gap but nobody's talking about this life expectancy Gap because men are just expected to be super masculine protect the family and then be super subservient at home nowadays and almost like it's just too much for me to handle and it's too much for guys to handle right um yeah I I don't know I mean it's just interesting right now I don't know Andrew ultimately there's so much arguing back and forth there was feminist opinions manosphere opinions of course anything nowadays with the gender it just turns into this whole thing and Andrew Tate versus whoever else is on the other side um why is it with increasing technology in healthare increasing access to healthare uh people can see more go on the internet find out pretty much any ailment people got air pryers you can cook clean proteins and vegetables from Trader Joe's as much as you want why are life expectancies going down and why is the gap widening between women and men here's my take and you give yours David I think one factor that a lot of people are not talking about is what's something that would make you want to live longer cuz sometimes your body will go if you don't care to live any longer right like you the Mind goes before the body goes yeah no I just mean like if you're old and you're just like got nothing nothing to do with your life you have no purpose you have no kids you have no nothing to live for your body's going to go but if you have a reason to live a job something you do something that drives you your body's going to your body's strong enough it'll keep going right so I think part of it and I don't know what level where this ranks on the the list of reasons why right cuz there was like 20 I think maybe people are just deciding that they don't want to live longer like they they feel like they don't have a purpose to live longer mhm so as people have less kids or no kids perhaps the life expectancy does go down because if you're uh if you got grandkids you're you're going to want to live for your grandkids you want to be part of their life but if you have no kids and no grandkids then maybe you're just be like well I saw and ate everything I did I could and I guess I'm good because I fulfilled my desires you know do you think it some of it is even being dismayed with the direction of the world and that may or may not be a realistic perception of the world cuz if you're just tuned in media it seems like the whole world is going well a lot of people are not having kids because they feel like the world is troubling and they don't want to birth a kid into the troubling World anyways guys listen kids have been born in F famines and wars and all that stuff but anyways regard previous times in history were worse than now but perception Jud I'm not judging your decisions I'm just saying that it is true if you're not driven by a purpose in life you'll probably your body will probably just give and be like all right bro you got nothing else to do you're bored just you're chilling like just go let is it interesting that families like born back during like the black plague or something like that they wanted to have like 10 kids just could so two could survive and now people are like it's not even worth it this world is too troubled I'm not even going to have one exactly that's that's I guess they would say that's Evolution so anyways guys that's my little factor that nobody talked about I would say one overlooked Factor I'm I'm going to bring it back to your YOLO point about like I just think that these short life behaviors for men are actually incentive vised because like we said if and this is a generality I'm not speaking it for every individual I'm talking about if if a lot of men's job is to send outgoing emails and women is to handle incoming emails right in like I'm not saying it's for everybody but it's in a generality sense right guys are being incentivized more and more to be like lit and Chase the big home run Grand Slam clout that is highly volatile cuz they're like I need to do it when I'm young I need to be this crazy crypto kid I need to be this crazy clout kid now because I can get so much dopamine and it could set me up for the rest of my life and I'm willing really willing to gamble at all to get that now yeah I do think chasing dopamine in your 20s and 30s whether that's if you're a man that's chasing the attention of women that's chasing substance use that's chasing Fame and Cloud substance use is driven for like oh it's going to make me a better artist and my Art's going to blow up and I'm going to become big or like it's going to put me in this mind State I just feel like I'm the J or this more charismatic I mean literally I'll get more girls if I do substances you know so there's that too so yeah man I don't know you guys let us know in the comments down below what you think are the main factors that are not being talked about because again just to sum up what they said in the beginning they were like accidental injuries diabetes suicide homicide heart disease I'm sure these are all large factors but what about the other ones that people aren't talking about men are much much much more statistically likely to own a gun but are you using it to hunt animals you're gonna use it on most likely another man or yourself all right everybody
