The gender paradox in suicide
Men are dying 2 to 5 times more than women from suicide.
While women are attempting suicide 3 times more.
Women choose method that can be stopped because they don't want to kill themselves in most case, they seek attention.
Common reasons for male suicide are
Some of the most common risk factors for female suicide are very contradictory from what they want:
Living in the urban area (Even though they all like urban more than rural areas)
Post abortion depression (They fight and cry when they are not allowed to abort)
Postpartum depression (Because they get responsibility and they get less attention)
Domestic violence (They get married to bad boys then kill themselves to punish him because he doesn't care)
Mental illness (OK)
My conclusion, no one cares for male problems, everyone care for attention whoring females. I read through dozens articles and they all repeat the same thing, blame men for not seeking help but call them weak when they do. They try to portrait female suicide attempts as serious as male suicide attempts even though they are easily fixed with few bandages and throwing up.
Men are dying 2 to 5 times more than women from suicide.

Many people claim this is the result of gender roles. Women much more seek hospitalization and help for suicidal thoughts.Suicide statistics reveal that women are roughly three times more likely to attempt suicide, though men are two to four times more likely to die by suicide.
Compared to their male counterparts, women show higher rates of suicidal thinking, non-fatal suicidal behavior, and suicide attempts.
The differences in attempts and completed suicides in women have erroneously led many people to believe that suicide attempts in women are often a method of getting attention rather than a serious risk.
The gender stereotype of men being "tough" and "strong" does not allow for failure, perhaps causing men to select a more violent and lethal method of suicide.
Men are choosing methods that can't fail because they really want to kill themselvesWomen, who are allowed (in social acceptance terms) the option to express vulnerability and to ask for help, may use suicide attempts as a means of expressing their need for help
Women choose method that can be stopped because they don't want to kill themselves in most case, they seek attention.
