Naisten jahtaaminen käy hengen päälle

Miksi miehet kuolevat naisia nuorempina?
Research shows men are naturally programmed to check out early at least sooner than women. What's so hazardous about being male? Researchers believe it ultimately has to do with early programming and the other sex, or, rather, pursuit of them.

Theories suggest that evolution designed men to expend more energy on fighting other males than fighting disease. This may have placed them at higher risk, but winning more females may have been a worthwhile tradeoff. All in all, the numbers suggest that evolutionary behavior doesn't always work well for men in modern times and that, argues Kruger, merits some attention. "There has been a big push in the last decade for women's health," he says. "Maybe it's time now to push for men's health issues too."

Whenever a missing person becomes a continuing news story, she is almost certain to be an attractive white girl or young woman: "It´s all about sex," said Clark, vice president of the Poynter Institute for Media Studies in St. Petersburg, Fla.

"Stefan Bechtel, coauthor of a book on men and sex, collected data from over two thousand women before writing on women and sex. When asked what surprised him most in his research, Bechtel answered, "Rage." "Lots of women feel rage toward men. It was a revelation to me that you may the nicest guy in the world and the women you encounter may have had bad experiences with men, and that will affect their dealings with you." In his earlier research on men, Bechtel had found "virtually no rage in the men"s responses."
