The average life expectancy for a man is 79, where women are expected to live to 82.
The reason for women outliving men is genetics, according to Medical Daily. Women have two X chromosomes, which provides them with a backup if a mutation occurs. However, men do not have that luxury — they only have one X chromosome to express all their genes.
Lifestyle factors can also impact how long a person will live.
Here are six ways a man can boost his life expectancy.

1. Stare at boobs
It may seem like an inconvenience or an invasion of privacy to many women, but staring at boobs creates a positive mindset in men.

A 2012 study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, looked at the effects positive thinking had on men’s health. . .

2. Have lots of sexBut how can you be sure you've had enough? Always time for more, right?
What every man wants to hear, but there is a good reason for it.
A study in the BMJ found that sex could decrease a man’s mortality rate by as much as 50 percent.
It is all down to sex promoting physical well-being, as well as being a stress reliever — which can help reduce the likeliness of illness.
After that, they get a little more serious and go all Jordan Peterson on us:
3. Get married . . .So 3 out of 5 ain't too bad . . .
4. Have kids . . .
5. Be responsible . . .
