My first girlfriend ended her life at age 21. But, i have had four or five men I know, end their lives. Women have an advantage over men, socially. Far fewer women are trouble loners. Men also need women , far more than women need men. I went to singles dances for ten years, from age 46, to age 56. I cannot count the number of divorced women, who said, they are finished with men, who need them? I have met many in church, and 12 step groups, who echo the same sentiments. I have know loner men, who i believe died form lonliness and lack of love and connection. I struggle with that, too, accutely. I heard a commercial for a womens conference. " What do women want? More choices"! No freakin nation int earth history, has ever offered women more choices than America, in the past 50 years. However, the stresses of being breadwinner, mom, wife, etc, is taking a bit toll on women, too.
