I was recently watching that "How long will you live?" show on RTE (I had nothing better to do). And it got me thinking about the life span difference between men and women. The gap is now at a staggering 15 years. Men are dying in their 70's, while women are getting into their 80's before they pop their clogs.
Men are more likely to suffer from heart attacks, strokes, ulcers, and liver failure. Men are like 3 times more likely to die in an accident.
Men are more likely to carry STD's (Which they then give to their unsuspecting wives/girlfriends), As it ages the male mind shrinks at a faster rate than a womans, and a guys major body systems- like the respiratory, circulatory, digestive and excretory systems- all break down before a girls would. Men can't give birth, and now with sperm banks and artificial insemination and adoption, they're involvement is minimal. And then it's a proven fact that men are 4 times more likely to commit sucicide, and the young males are the most likely to kill themselves in Ireland.
And then girls do better then lads at school, with girls getting the higher leaving cert results.
So from all of that, all I can say is thank God I have 2 x chromosomes!:L
(P.s. Sorry for all this bad news to my xy chromosomed friends...:P;))
