Why do girlies live longer than blokeys ?
« on: 29/09/2004 13:14:05 »
Hi Everybody,

I have it on good authority than I'm a bloke....and as a bloke I like to live,living is good for my health.... but my wife (who is a girly) is probably going to live longer than me...why ?...is it biological or is it a social thing ? or is it a combo of the two ?..the fact that more women are now present in the ' workplace ' could that have an effect on lifespan ? or is just genetically sound that females live longer than males ?

Please keep your answers brief...I don't know how long I've got.

Thanks

one reason for this is the level of activity after retirement.  when most men retire, that is the end of all physical activity.  when most women retire, the physical activity continues in the form of housework.  there are probably other factors involved and i don't know how big an influence the physical aspect is.

Men are built for strength, women for endurance.  I suppose that's why we live longer.

Men doth live shorter as comeuppance for all the infidelities. Satisfying many women takes it's toll.

Dear God,

Your idea of killing men off sooner to exact a toll for their infidelities doth satisfy the women, in and of itself.  Thanks.
