females grow old so soon?

Question

like i was just analysing that females grow old so soon compared to men.once they are past their menopause and their body starts to wither and for men if they maintain themselves they can remain young till late.is it or its just my wrong observation?

Answer 1

We all grow old at the same rate. Time doesn't slow down or stop altogether. Time doesn't discriminate. Time doesn't care about your gender. Time just *is*.



So yes, your "observation" is a only a figment of your imagination. Its what you want to belive.



As men age, their testosterone levels decline. They undergo a "male menopause" (called andropause): http://www.medicinenet.com/male_menopause/article.htm

Answer 2

I'm afraid it is your wrong observation. I'm in my 50's and everyone I know, male and female, are in their 40's to 60's. Everyone goes grey, has weight struggles, loses muscle mass, gets wrinkles, and develops physical problems at about the same rate. I've seen men go bald in their 40's. Unless your genetics are superior you'll age right along with everyone else. Menopause is just a milestone women have that men don't.

Answer 3

I believe you are mistaken. This is one of the biological disadvantages of being male - you do become less able bodied and die earlier. I work with the elderly who cannot manage alone and find that the majority of my clients are widowed ladies, that men begin to need help in their late 70s and early 80s while women are more often late 80s and 90s before they do. My mother is 69 and just did a half marathon.

Answer 4

Since they live longer,

women grow old slower than men.

Answer 5

That only applies to women who don't take care of themselves.

My aunt is 60 something and she acts like a teenager and looks like she's in her 30's

I <3 my auntie

Answer 6
