"Women with PCOS may have infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods or excess male hormone (androgen) levels. "
"Some women with PCOS need lifelong treatment as they are at a high risk for adverse cardiac events and the metabolic syndrome. "

Leading causes of death= Ischaemic heart disease n' stroke. So that and also they don't work hard and never had.
Unlike men, they don't put the hours and also have children, which prevents them from working. Not to mention that they retire earlier.

Think of it this way, it's like IQ. On one side, it's mainly biological. Then it's the environment which prevents a woman from ever having to work hard in her life.

Wars used to drag down the mean. We have to wait until the generations that fought in wars, die out (happening much sooner in Europe, so eyes on them). Also, depending on the country women were allowed to work freely only in the 70s. I suppose mining coal shortens your life more than being a housewife. So let's also wait until the people who are dying grew up in an emancipated world. If women still live longer then, there must be something less easy to explain.

Meta studies show that Women do not actually have the capability to process long term loss.
No, I'm not being sexist.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widowhood_effect

Women have stronger short-term feelings than men, but they subside very quickly, which is why women rarely fret over exes in an emotionally attached way; instead the feelings they have are more about competitive status.

While women are stereotyped as being the more attached of the sexes, in reality, their strong attachments only exist when they are in front of them.
This may have something to do with women having more white matter and men having more grey matter.

Men on other hand have poor short-term close attachments, but have very strong long term attachments, which can cause extreme stress over time.

So men die earlier.

Detoxing ability. Certain metals within the body and other stuff in the body that accumulates damages 5he cells ability to retain absolute, or at least stagnate and not deteriorate as quickly over time.

Both man and women have the ability to detox which also diminishes over time, only difference is during the first 45 years of their lives women can detox better then men thus accumulating less waste and toxins minimizing cell damage.

This is directly linked to menstruation

Long ago somewhere in the the east there was an experiment done using gold the only ones that were able to expel it via detox were women in the age of active menstruation!

Why did more women survive the titanic if there were more men on board than women?

Because, they let the women and children first.

Why? Because they believed that women and children were weaker at the time and so women needed more protection.

This isn't even wrong. Except in a war scenario where many men have been killed, women have higher reproductive value than men. 10 women to 1 man does a much better job of keeping the tribe alive than the reverse.

If given the choice, and assuming men aren't dangerously scarce, women are the right choice for protecting in a population that wants to survive. This is the cold reality of nature and cultural practices are just a post hoc COPE.

men's life expectancy gets dragged down by the greater danger associated with masculinity, among other factors.

By the way, when they say that life expectancy used to be 30-something years for cavemen, that had a lot of infant mortality in it. That statistic doesn't say that adults were usually dying at age 30-something.

When my sister or my girl friends get an ingrown nail, they see a specialist or use a nail clipper kit to fix it before it gets unsightly. When I get an ingrown, I deal with it until I can't and then I pry it out with a knife and a bottle of booze.
When my girl friends have dinner by themselves and a night in, that means a hot meal, pajamas, upwards of 15 dollars in creams, masks, scrubs, soaps, a bath, Netflix, a purring cat, and maybe some red wine.
When I do the same thing as a bachelor, that means I'm going to dunk sliced bread in my top ramen, drink a douchey energy drink, go without bathing, eat cereal with my hands on the couch, piss in a beer bottle, and pass out at 4 AM still in my jeans.
A woman will see the doctor routinely when she gets pregnant. Men will avoid even prostate exams later in life.
If my sister nearly cut off her finger with a knife, she would go to the hospital, and they would reattach it in a sterile environment. I would re-set the finger with one bloody hand and krazy-glue it back together in my friend's bathroom, but I'd smoke weed first to calm my nerves and dull the pain of having my bone exposed, and then I'd go to Denny's and bleed everywhere while snorting hydrocodone.
When my sister got her wisdom teeth out, they told her not to smoke or suck through a straw, so she avoided hookah for a few days. When I got mine out, I chain-smoked and drank Slurpees, I put a cotton-ball in my mouth, and then I made myself bleed just so I could put a new clot in the hole.
When my sister gets a bug bite, she finds some over-the-counter shit to treat it. I put out a cigarette on it.
When my sister gets a piece of fruit, she washes and cuts it. I rub it on my filthy jacket and chomp.

There is a large correlation between short people and longer life expectancy.

there are lots of hypothesis for this. One is that large people have more cells which increases the chance of one becoming mutated and turning into cancer or something else that puts their average life expectancy lower than that of short people.

Women are on average shorter than men and Japanese people are some of the shortest and thinnest people in the world meaning they have some of the fewest cells in their bodies causing them to have a very high life expectancy average.

A supporting factor for this is that the Dutch (tallest people on the planet) have a high life expectancy but their gap between male and female life expectancy is extraordinarily high while the gap between male and female height is also bigger than in other countries. Their life expectancy is still high because while they are tall they have a relative low BMI average compared to other nations.

Basically scientists think the less cells you have the longer you'll live so short skinny people live the longest which on average are asian females.

Nah seems like you didn't look well enough. A lot of people sadly blindly believe, just like you that there are more male idiots/'geniuses' then female ones, that the female is more closer to the average 100. This is false though. The studies who came out with these results tested it on boys and girls during their puberty. Biased studies. Did this on purpose to show women and men are not that different XD. If you look at adult ages or tested again in later life you see that you are believing in the wrong thing.
