Pretty Sure This Is Why Women Live Longer

It's a fact that women live longer than men, regardless of location. Surprisingly, this is only the case in today's time and age. The data from rich countries show that in the 19th century, women didn't have this advantage. So, how do women live much longer than men today, and how does this advantage increase over the years? Many factors affect the lifespan of a person. And according to scientific research, biological, behavioral, and also environmental factors all contribute to the fact that women live longer than men.
Well, so we know who is favored by God here. We know that humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one of those deciding the gender. Those are the X and Y chromosomes, also known as the sex chromosomes, determine the biological sex of an individual: females inherit an X chromosome from the father for a XX genotype, while males inherit a Y chromosome from the father for an XY genotype (mothers only pass on X chromosomes). In humans, the X chromosome contains more genes than the Y. So individuals having a XX genotype are genetically healthier.

The guy on behind had quite a talent, I guess. How could he sit like that without falling off the bike when riding at a high speed? Have to admit that this's quite a new and thrilling way to enjoy a ride. However, I consider this is the fastest way to break your jaw bones and get your face ground on the road.

A man will never give up. They will only walk forwards, even when the path ahead is a dead end. Looking at this picture, you'll see clearly what it means when saying: "there's no going back." Hope he found his way out when he's done. If not, I don't know what the scene would be like. A man sticking his butt out from a hole in the wall screaming for help?

That's about the biological aspect. The ratio of baby boys and girls born each year has little difference. But, the situation starts changing when they reach 16. The number of men and women starts to show a gap, and it gets wider at the higher ages. Apparently, behavioral and environmental factors are responsible for this change. Men are more reckless in their teenage years. They also live not so healthily with a high ratio of alcohol abuse and smoking. Lifestyle is a slow but surefire way that determines how long you will last.
Ah yes, what's more, men usually don't care too much about what we call safety. They are born to be the men in this world, fear nothing, and never step back. But the reality tells us that they're still humans, from flesh and bones. And if they take the risk and fail, the cost is probably their lives. Do they see that it's dangerous? Yes, perhaps. So why do they still do it? Hard to tell. Maybe that's how they do? Men often (un)intentionally put themselves in such nerve-racking, dangerous situations doing completely normal stuff. If only there was another way to get that thing done without risking your life, man. Well, pretty sure this is why women live longer than men. This is it. Period.
