Ackshually, that assertion has been known to be existentially false for decades now.
The quickest way for an American man to give up the ghost is for him to be SINGLE with NO WOMAN IN HIS LIFE.
Married men live vastly statistically longer than do single men.
Men can't cope with loneliness; without women in their lives, yuge portions of a ll men will quickly curl up in a psychogical fetal position and call it quits.
It's the quitting which destroys you.
So long as you're still fighting the Good Fight, you'll be okay.
But when call it quits, then all bets are off, and you can head straight to an early grave.
tl;dr == !!! NEVER QUIT !!!
!!! NEVER GIVE UP !!!
