I  totally  agree cause  some men  tend  to  let  their health   go   when  they  are  sick  while  women go to the  doctors  as  soon , As  they  feel sick , Not all men   do this  but  most  tend  to

I believe that women lives much longer than men, because men don't take care of themselves when they feel sick. They think they are indestructable, nothing can take them down. trying to talk to them and get them to go to a doctor, is like pulling teeth.

I'm not sure if this is the article you are referring to, but I know for a fact in our family this is certainly true.

 

I recently went to a new doctor and noticed he was located in something called the Professional Building. I felt better right away.

Seems pretty feasible to me and I think there could be an element of truth in what Capricorn had to say.

If there is an occupation that is difficult, dirty or dangerous, who does it? Men. Coal miners, soldiers, construction workers, farmers, policemen, etc. If a job is outside in the elements of heat, wind and cold, over 90% of the time a man is doing it. Have you seen the show dirty jobs? Not good for your health and the stress and exposure would definitely make them more vulnerable to disease. Also, men are not supposed to show emotion or cry or show weakness; hold it all in, which is very unhealthy. Then there is the fact that guys just simply refuse to see a doctor most of the time. Add it all up and its easy to see why men are more prone to illness.

I also think it comes down to the men feel like they have to take care of their family. They don't want to take time to go to the doctors, nor do they want a doctor to tell them what they should be doing.
