The idea that women live longer than men is a common topic for memes, often used humorously to highlight various stereotypical differences between the sexes. Here’s a fun meme-style “tale” about it:

The Tale of Why Women Live Longer Than Men
Once upon a time, in a land full of curious creatures called Humans, there were two species: Men and Women. They lived in the same world, but with wildly different approaches to life.
Women, naturally, were experts at self-care. They drank water, got enough sleep, and did yoga on Sundays. Meanwhile, Men were busy taking on the world like it was a video game—pressing every button, ignoring warning signs, and occasionally jumping off the roof just because it “seemed fun.”
One day, the wise old Owl (who, by the way, had seen it all) asked them, “Why do you think women live longer than men?”
A Woman answered, “Well, I meditate, exercise, and take care of myself.”
A Man, who had just tripped over a rock while trying to jump over a puddle, replied, “I think it’s because women are too busy telling us what to do, and we keep ignoring them.”
The Owl, rolling his eyes, decided to conduct a test. He told them both to climb to the top of a mountain. Women carefully packed their bags with snacks, water, and a first-aid kit, while Men, of course, just grabbed their phone, a half-eaten sandwich, and set off without a plan.
When the test was over, the Owl found that Women had made it to the top with no injuries, while Men had ended up lost, covered in mud, and complaining about their “life choices.”
The Owl declared, “Ah, now we see. Women live longer because they plan ahead, take care of themselves, and don’t try to wrestle a bear for fun.”
And so, the moral of the story was clear: While Men may have the adventure, Women have the wisdom (and, apparently, the longevity).

This meme tale plays on the humorous differences between the sexes, poking fun at the sometimes reckless behavior of men and the cautious, prepared nature of women. It’s a lighthearted take on a real scientific observation that women tend to live longer than men, though the reasons are much more complex and rooted in biology, lifestyle, and societal factors.
