Why are suicide rates higher for men in every country on earth?

[jennifer_bloom]

Sometimes it’s 13x higher for men.

I always thought men had more reason to be happy because they are judged by fewer standards than women and have less complex social functions in the world.

because men are less mentally prepared for long-term stress... it's evolution... they were hunters and warriors... so their stress peaks were strong, but after some time, they could rest and recover...

current life is a constant stress... constant thoughts... constant sensory overload... if someone is not taught how to rest and relax... yeah... sometimes the ultimate solution is the most tempting

bc of the lack of help for men with mental health issues. as a society they get told not to cry (mostly like 50 years ago) but some still think its how it should be. so they dont look for help or they dont recieve it.

It is great being a guy but sometimes it can really suck.

You would probably find in countries women generally attempt but fail suicide more then men but men succeed more at suicide

[Opinion Owner]

That’s why suicide rates look higher because men just succeed more.
In suicide stats books or websites they generally don’t show attempted but failed suicide attempts statistics. If they did show attempted but fail statistics I reckon you would probably find this is higher in women than men
Women probably think about suicide as much as men it’s just that men succeed more.
