Gender gap in longevity: 47% of men would like to live to 150 years old, compared to only 27% of women.

Recent survey data reveals a significant gender gap regarding the desire for extreme longevity, with 47 percent of men expressing a wish to live to 150 years old compared to only 27 percent of women. While the prospect of living well beyond normal human lifespans may seem universally appealing or unsettling at first glance, stark differences emerge when individuals are asked about the measures they would be willing to take to prolong their lives.

The findings highlight diverging attitudes between genders toward radical life extension technologies and the physical or lifestyle commitments required to achieve them. This disparity underscores how perceptions of aging, future possibilities, and mortality are not shared uniformly across demographics.
