Why Do Most Men Die In Families And Marriages? by Santinho: 4:34am On Nov 22, 2019 |
I have been thinking about this for sometime now and decided to create this topic to seek your opinions and contributions. I have realised that in most marriages and families, you will discover that the husband/father die leaving the wife or wives and children in the hands of the woman or women. This is very common among our religious places, environment, among peers and even our places of work. I know that some women die also thereby leaving their families behind, but the ratio is very low compare to the men. It is never the intention of any man or father to die and leave his family and responsibilities yet, we have high rate of death among men in marriages and even boyfriend/girlfriend relationships. Moreover, this is not limited to only Africans alone, because I have also discovered this among my social media friends too. WHY THIS? Cc Lalasticla Mynd44 Ubunja |

They die earlier because 1. Health seeking behaviour- they avoid hospitals and Drs as much as possible till it's late, unlike women who also take their children to hospital quickly. Women tend to over estimate risks while men tend to underestimate 2. They take bigger risks like drive like maniacs disobeying traffic rules and causing accidents, drink driving after 10 bottles of alcohol and still getting on the wheels ( road safety will confirm this, and the ratio of their offenders favour males) 3. they are more violent eg like stabbing bottles on themselves over woman matter, fighting with cutlass over land matter. Thanks to testosterone, I guess 4. When they are tired of life, they actually are successful with suicide and will just do it like Nike swoosh, unlike women who are more attention seeking and would just hurt themselves but not kill themselves 5. Men have a higher risk for cardiovascular diseases like hypertension, heart attacks because estrogen in women confers some protection, while good ol' testosterone increases the levels of bad cholesterol in the body 6. They take up riskier jobs like military, construction, armed robbery, kidnapping, cultism etc. 7. Etc Those are proven stats up there, and not some beer parlour gists of men working so hard to cater for their family hence die earlier. Women do more and still live longer. 27 Likes 7 Shares |

Men engage in more strenuous and dangerous activities.Men are adventurous That's why male mortality rate is higher than female. Yet we are insulted, slapped, disrespected, unappreciated by women we love, care for and protect. 2 Likes |

Simply because we put ourselves more in harm's way. Fighting wars, protecting the family. Engaging in risky behaviours like trying to satisfy multiple women sexually so we can prove our sexual prowess. Being adventurous, doing more of manual labour etc. Unfortunately most men want to do what other men do without factoring our own individual health status. Some have weak hearts but still want to do marathon sex and drink gallons of beer. Women have the easier part of the stick, yet still keep demanding equality. If things are to actually be shared equally, the life span of women will be 21 years... ![]() 5 Likes |

This might not be a common opinion but I actually think it's better this way. Don't think for a second that a woman's life is rosy after the death of her husband. If she's widowed when the kids are young, she is forced to juggle the responsibilities of both mum and dad - working hard to provide while still being a nurture. If she's much older and LUCKY, her children might try their best to give her a comfortable life at the very least. However, this will not erase the issue of loneliness especially if she's past her prime and unable to get another spouse - notice that, in most cases of mother in law drama, the mother in law is usually without a husband and is therefore fighting the daughter in law for the attention of the remaining male figure in her life (her son). Bottom line is everybody dies eventually - whether male or female. The point is to ensure you live a life of quality while at it - which is more honorable than existing in misery and loneliness in old age. 10 Likes |

Men often marry women younger than them. All things being equal, the older person typically dies first. 20 Likes |

OP Dis is a simple sturvs na. The load wey we dey carry no be here oh. The other day someone created a thread requesting what men offer...... Kindly refer to that thread and see for yourself the very many things men offer - in the home, relationship, family etc. In a bid to meet up, the man most times end accumulating so much stress that adversely affects his health; developing sicknesses ranging from hypertension to cancer, which eventually ends his life. Shout out to all men in the house! God bless and be with us. |

Marrying younger women might attribute for the men dying earlier but in most cases, women generally have a longer life span because women are more reserved, do less stressful work and take better care of their health. 3 Likes |

Our African parents made it look like marital abuse is better than divorce and that’s why our generation need to correct that and make our girl child know that when her marriage is tough and rough and beyond saving, our house is always opened 2 Likes |

yeyeosoronga: You agree with what you are arguing against in your number 6. ]They take up riskier jobs like military, construction, armed robbery, kidnapping, cultism etc Men take up riskier jobs to provide. It is not the only reason they take up riskier jobs but it's a factor. If you want to know if the necessity to provide can be a strong factor in people people deciding to take up risky jobs, go to a whorehouse and ask how many of them became prostitutes after becoming single mothers. 1 Like |

WORLDPEACE: I inserted some sarcasm in there. I didn't want to say men are more criminally minded, hence they have shorter lifespans. Armed robbery, kidnapping, cultism are vices that should probably carry the death sentence sef, and are not seen as jobs. You cannot cause tears and sadness in people's lives and expect happiness and joy in yours all under the guise of "providing". I didn't list my points in order of their relevance, but I'm very certain that the leading causes of death in men in Nigeria has nothing to do with their desire or hustling to provide for their family. 2 Likes 1 Share |
