  1. Why Do Women Live Longer Than Men?

    Laura Blue's Answer:
    • "A more complicated possibility [for women's longevity] is that women have two X chromosomes, while men have one. (Men have an X and a Y.) When cells go through aging and damage, they have a choice in terms of genes — either on one X chromosome or the other. Consider it this way: you have a population of cells, all aging together. In some cells, the genes on one X chromosome are active; in other cells, by chance, the same set of genes, with different variations, are active on the other X chromosome. Don't forget, we all have the same genes — the reason we differ is because we express different variations of those genes, like different colors of a car. Now, if one set of variations provides a survival advantage for the cells versus another, then the cells with the advantage will persist while the other ones will die off, leaving behind more cells with the genes on the more advantageous X chromosome. So, in women, cells can perhaps be protected by a slightly better variation of a gene on the second X chromosome. Men don't have this luxury and don't get this choice."

    • I didn't graduate from any fancy school, but I can answer this with a breeze. This is the reason why women live longer than man:












     
  2. What's your answer on why women live longer than men?
     
  3. Women are magical
     
  4. ?
     

  5. Support
     
  6.  
  7. Simple really.See while a man is out taking risks and gettin' that money, women are in the kitchen making sandwiches.

    So where's my sandwich, ladies?
     
  8. U also forgot
    Women nag men to death
     
  9. Those images are frightening.
     
  10. All I'm seeing is successful business men here.
     
  11. Nailed it
     
  12. HM, because we men do all the dirty work?
     
  13. Or men married a young wine and end up dead early
     
  14. Also men tend to be more dangerous drivers, have higher numbers of successful suicides, and go to war more often than women.

    I remember reading about the chromosome thing in biology class, too. Men don't have that extra x chromosome to fall back on. More proof that God is actually a woman 
     
  15. Men more Dangerous drivers no think again you fail. God created man in his image so you also you fail. It isn't our fault women rather sit at home huddled in a corner and be wimps while men go die for our country.
     
  16. Wow so serious ?

    From esurance.com, discussing why insurance rates are higher for men, "accident and dui statistics consistently reflect that male drivers, as a whole, take more risks driving than their female counterparts". It also states that men are 10% less likely to wear seatbelts and get more speeding tickets.

    I'm not going to get into a religios argument, it was obviously a joke, and of course I appreciate the sacrifices our military makes for us. My father and both of my grandfathers served this country ️?.
     
  17. Mind if I call you a liar. Also do you believe everything you read?
     
  18. nobody cares what you have to say santana so get off your oh so high and mighty horse and go read a book, your grammar along with your stupidity is giving me a headache you narcissistic donkeyhole :--)
     
  19. Call me what you want, and no it was the first thing that popped up on Google, cause this isn't my dissertation. But have a nice day, bye!
