From the moment a male is born statistics show that, on average, he will live a shorter life span than his female counterpart by about 5 years. Why? Males have higher rates in 12 of the 15 leading causes of death. Forget the old joke that a married man wants to die. According to a new study of roughly 1,000 middle-age men who graduated from Wisconsin high schools in 1957 presented at a meeting of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco, the reason he dies first is because of the "ideals" of masculinity. The more manly he feels, the less likely he is to seek preventative medical care. Then oops it’s too late.

A manly man sucks up the pain and will not go into a doctor’s office where he might be unable to hide his fear.
