You might as well start wearing dresses, and carry a purse. Oh, you
already did that!

Girly men live longer, because they do nothing which might be
manly - like taking risks.

It says nothing of the kind. You apparently didn't bother to read it before posting, just repeated
something that some other ass had written.

Here's what it *really* concludes:

"the prudent, persistent, planful people ... that was the strongest individual difference, or
personality predictor, of long life."

Wrong. I never once did any of that.

I was once told by a “gun safety” advocate back in the Nineties
that he favored total civilian firearms confiscation.
Only the military and police should have weapons he averred and what did I think about that?

I began to give him a reasoned answer and he
cut me off with an abrupt, “Give me the short answer.”

I thought for a moment and said, “If you try to take our firearms we will kill you.”"

One of the disadvantages of long life that no one talks about is that
you spend more time being old.

"Prudent, persistent, planful people"...sounds like they got old early.

David

As our graduate students looked over the initial statistical findings on
personality and long life, they gasped and laughed as they read the
results: "Howard, that sounds like you!" The findings clearly revealed
that the best childhood personality predictor of longevity was
conscientiousness – the qualities of a prudent, persistent,
well-organized person, like a scientist-professor – somewhat obsessive
and not at all carefree.

It was not cheerfulness and it was not having a sociable personality
that predicted long life across the ensuing many decades. Certain other
factors were also relevant, but the prudent, dependable children lived
the longest. The strength of this finding was unexpected, but it proved
to be a very important and enduring one.

I wouldn't know - totally outside my fund of knowledge or area of
concern.
But that not the same as avoiding the manly arts.

To me, it sounds like they got *wise* early.

If wise means living so carefully that you do nothing memorable, I
prefer the memories I have of imprudence.

It looks like maybe three people arguing in this thread actually read
the article.

There is a joke about this:
Guy visits the doctor.
Doctor tells him to quit smoking, drinking, and chasing women.
Guy asks the doctor, "If I quit those things, will I live longer?"
Doctor says, "No, but it will seem like it."

It doesn't mean that. While the consequences of imprudence are frequently quite memorable,
the two are not synonymous. Dangerous experiences are memorable -- we're hard-wired that
way for self-preservation -- but the converse is not so. One need not place oneself, or others,
in danger to have memorable experiences.

Nope, I joined the thread after it had been dropped. Care to share it so
I can catch up on the fun?
