@adi@twtxt.net “I usually seen the opposite. Women are more interested in longevity and happy that studies show that they live more than men.” -> I probably could have been clearer: It seems to me that women are on average much less interested in life-extension (methods beyond usual health advice such as the old “exercise, eat vegetables”) than men.

Actually, maybe there’s just a variance thing here: median man cares less about his longevity than the median woman, but the variance for men is higher.
