Did they also have a desire to buy a lot of shoes after the operation?

You know why the husband is always the first to die? Because he is ready!

findings show male hormones shorten life expectancy So Obama is going to live to be 100 and Clinton died 10 years ago?

Because they want to.
If a married Jewish man is alone in the woods and expresses his opinion, is he still wrong?

Its been known for years that neutered dogs live longer than dogs who aren’t, so I guess this would make sense with other mammals, even human ones.

I remember a story several years ago about the death of an aged Chinese man who was a eunuch. His parents had him castrated thinking he would be able to have a good career in the imperial palace, but soon afterwards the last emperor was ousted...so no career opportunities.
Eunuchs were important officials in the later Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire--and were generally hated. Ammianus Marcellinus, writing about the 390s, mentions one eunuch he says was a good man, but comments that no one will believe him if he says that there was a good eunuch...they wouldn't even believe such testimony if it came from Socrates. Apparently they were seen as corrupt and nasty individuals.

The researchers believe the findings show male hormones shorten life expectancy.It ain't the hormones. It is the crazy things which the hormones drive men to do.
Good men learn how to control the hormones. Good women learn how to control the men who learn how to control their hormones.

Wrong conclusion from true facts. Ball-less men have no need for women so their life shortening harping,complaining,spending and generalized b@tching are taken out of the equation.
It has nothing to do with the testosterone in a man’s life and wholly to do with the estrogen in his life.
