So /pol/ why haven't you abandoned your toxic masculinity yet? ;)
pic related be a good goy and go to Dr. Himmelstein
This goes for both genders. Except women think about it in the sense of "If I don't go to the doctor's, nothing will be wrong with me"

Actually it's because doctors are scam artist kikes.

You can't make that shit up
>live longer so you can pay me more shekels goy!
>go to the expensive dr as often as you can!
Translated that for ya.
>>69331062
if you go to the doctor you'll end up like your image
Men aren't supposed to live longer they're genetically expendable.
>>69331062
So fucking what?
Dying in your own piss, being fed dogfood in a nursing home is how women choose to die.
Stop fucking nagging us to die the same. I wanna die drinking an bottle of vodka, chain smoking as I thrash the fuck outta a V8 on a mountainside.
Fuck you bitches
>>69331790
and yeah, this
Bigger bodies typically means lower life expectancy, and men have more muscle, bone density, etc. Men are high performance machines built to sink or swim, women are built more safely and to protect their babymaking capacity to mate with the men that manage to swim.
>>69331062
Equating masculinity to avoiding doctors is retarded. And peddling it as one giant umbrella term for inferiority is what femminists would do.
>>69331062
>willingly going to the butcher's office for him to see how much money he can pocket from medicine you don't need
Unlike women I don't have other people paying for my shit, be it the government or the beta cucк I lied to about only sleeping with 50 niggers. I actually value my time and money, I wouldn't expect them to understand.

>Mary Himmelstein and Diana Sanchez
Women telling men what to do. I bet that will be neutral and factual.
> men who "tough out" minor health problems
Or women who are "embarrassed" to go to the doc for big health problems.
See it makes so much sense when it fits the narrative, but it gets inconvenient when your own gender fucks up don't it? Then it's time for "nuance" to fight sexism.
> One could say that masculinity potentially plays a role in men's higher mortality
One could also say "ideologically motivated study finds conclusions that fit the narrative".

There are only 14 million jews in the world. HOW THE FUCK ARE THEY EVERYWHERE?

>Or women who are "embarrassed" to go to the doc for big health problems.
My mother had to literally ask both my father and I whether or not she should get a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
I flatly told her to get rid of any part of her body that was trying to kill her. But the thought of her appearance being altered actually affected her to the point where she considered death as an option.
And I thought men were fucked up.
>>69331940
yeah
>>69332334
If gladly be killed by wildlife than die of old age, pissing in a bag, dementia, weak as piss, a burden to family.
This is not how men are meant to die.
We all know this.
It why we love confrontation love places like here.
>>69331062
Testosterone is a drug worth the price.
Praise Adam. a curse be upon Eve and all her daughters.
>>69332469
>>69332283
Lol my mother is the same. She's literally shitting blood in agony but doesn't want to go to the doc because it's embarrassing.
>>69331062
Actually it's testosterone that makes us age faster.
Besides the life expectancy difference is like 2 years?
Do you really care that you'll die at 78 instead of 80, if it worth being a little bitch your whole life so that you can rot in a elderly home for 24 months longer?
>>69331062
>Himmelstein
I rather just live a life I like for 10 more years than a shitty one for more 60-70 years
>>69331252
can confirm, my mom is a doctor and whenever she visits another doctor she doesn't let them know.
Often they charge on stuff they never did and try to jew the insurance as hard as they can
>>69332296
>Only.
>>69331062
I don't go to the hospital because our health care is shit.
>>69331940
dying in your grandmother's basement more like it edgelord
>>69331062
If men are dying earlier it's because they are doing harder jobs instead of white collar service jobs you fucking cunts.
90% work related death you buffoon. Women are living longer because men are dying at work because the job needs to get done
>>69331062

Fuck yeah cunt

So because you're going to age horribley and have a shit life, we all will?
My great grandparents all lived until over 90, and my great grandma made it to 99 -- none of them with mental health problems and all living with family.
My mother's side grandpa and grandma are in their eightiea, still go pn trips with us and swim every morning. I still smoke up with them during vacations when I have a break from work...
A few more years, hell a few more months, when you're spending them with loved ones and not in excruciating pain can be quite wonderful, but hey,
maybe you just have shit genes and are cursed to be miserable. so go have some fun killing urself
>>69331062
I don't go to hospitals because I'm not listening to some fucker tell me how broken I am like he's hot shit.
>>69331062

The only thing that actually matters is leaving your mark in history.
If you're past your time to do that it's better to die.
