Do males live longer? If not in the future will we?
We exercise more (WAAAAAAAAAAY more, females are just a tub of lard) After all we males are bigger stronger! (flexes for the camera)
We are better at expressing and handling our emotions (females just cry 24/7)
We get sick less, don't have disabilities as much, AND we tolerate pain more
If forgot to mention anything let me know ^3^

A lot of men for some reason are stupid enough to try and hide any sign of weakness. For example i go to my doctor once every 6-7 months, i see him when i'm sick, i see him when i think there's an abnormality and if it's important i see any doctor i can get ahold of at work (the hospital). For the fear of seeing a doctor, men die sooner because they go undiagnosed. More men survive thier first heart attack though. They come earlier in life than they do for women. Men are targeted to die first

No one can tell for certain what can happen in the future. However, I can tell you that some women are better than men at all these things, or are equal with them, but of course some men are better at women at exercising, etc. It just depends on the person. So, I can tell that you, will not live longer than any female because of your arrogance and stupidity.

Everyone is living longer because of medical advancements. 50 years ago the average age was between 65 and 70 now it's 72 to 80. Women used to live longer than men but the gap is closing because women are living a lifestyle closer to men. It seems that stress plays a major part. You can extend your life expectancy by eating healthy and exercising.

Sorry to tell you this, but men tend to die younger than women. Although women often suffer with viruses, usually around menstruation time, we generally visit our Doctors when we believe that we're ill. Ie getting lumps checked by a Specialist, rather than many men, who tend to ignore signs of cancer etc.
If men learn to share their worries, then perhaps they will suffer less mental health problems. Men are living longer, but not quite as long as women. Female hormones do protect women from some illnesses.

Yes, they are living longer because it's easy for doctors to recognize their problems since they are allowed to speak up about it while women have to remain silent.

No and no. The issue is not fitness, but the lifespan of cells being shorten by testosterone. If a man castrates himself however then he has a very good chance of living longer than women.

We are actually favoured to die earlier the women, that's because we have jobs that put our lives in danger, while women chose a more safe route.

In the U.S., men do not live as long as women on average.
Women do work out, they just tend to do things like aerobics, palates, yoga, etc. more than weight lifting.
In addition to biological differences: Men do most of the dangerous work, over 90% of workplace fatalities being male. It's predominantly men who are sent to fight and die in combat. We have a department of women's health, but no department of men's health. We have laws like VAWA specifically to look after women's safety, while male victims are typically denied such help. Men are murdered at 4 times the rate of women. We spend more money fighting women's cancers, than men's cancers. Men subsidize women's health care. Insurance, by law must provide many women-specific coverages for free, but not so with any male specific coverages.
It really should come as no surprise to anyone women outlive men.

Oh yeah, you forgot to provide any evidence to support your claims. You forget to mention that men do more risky behavior, get involved in more serious car accidents, are more violent, aggressive, and can't handle pain as well as women. Men are more likely to have poor eating habits, and drink too much.
Females have always outlived men and will continue to do so. In the USA the life expectancy of a male is 76 and for a female it is 81. So females live 5 years longer than males in the USA. Overall throughout the world women life 6 years longer than males.
