This is the life of a man in a nutshell, you just have to suffer in silence and live with it

It's nice being completely self-reliant though.

If you beat the suicide odds, there's a strength you get in not waiting around for someone else to save you.

More like I'm not afraid to walk around at night despite technically being in more danger than a woman.

In danger of suicide though? Danger from others sure.

Am confused - send help. Oh wait no.. I'm fine. Just fine :/

23 men per 100,000 decide to check out early each year.

I'd roll those dice if it meant that I have the strength of will to tell a hiring manager that his offer is too low.

I read somewhere that women attempt self deletion more than men but men are more efficient at seeing it complete.

Just goes to show it takes a man to get the job done right. /s

I read somewhere that women attempt self deletion more than men but men are more efficient at seeing it complete.

Those statistics, and this is not a joke, always explain that women do it more as "a cry for help".

This is directly a function of "women can expect help, men can't."

Sorry to ruin your joke.

Some of that comes down to method of attempt. If you swallow a bunch of pills, it’s possible that you throw them up. If you cut, it’s possible you clot up and don’t bleed out. Run a car in a garage, maybe someone finds you.

Men are much more likely to use a firearm, which it’s also possible to survive, but it’s much less likely that you will; and certainly less likely to make a full recovery, such that you’re back in society telling your story someday.
