- Men are more serious about taking their own life than a woman is. Women have got things like her children to consider when she decides to kill herself and men are more serious in a relationship and can burn their bridges with a woman. Men are tougher than women emotionally and they can bring themselves to a matter of fact state that suicide is a relief.
- In the U.S. a male or female takes their life every 18 minutes and with the attempted suicides combined the actual completion of men is four times higher than women.

Why do women tend to choose less aggressive suicide methods?
It can be related to a number of factors. There is simply a lack of a macho drive here. Women don't feel this need to prove themselves as much by using a violent suicide method to prove a sense of worth. Women by their very natures are less aggressive to an extent, unless pushed into certain situations, and then there may be overkill. That is why police departments may train female officers harder than men. That way, any inner feelings of vulnerability won't cause her to immediately use her firearm when a male officer would use less than lethal means to control a situation. They don't want female officers over-compensating for a lack of upper body strength. Also, social pressures and how women are encouraged to be more courteous play a role here. A guy doesn't think that someone will have to clean up after his suicide, or just doesn't care. There is no thought about whether it will be "messy" or not. A woman getting ready to commit suicide may be more likely to tidy up the place, choose a method of suicide that is easier to clean up after, and dress up nice before doing it, and try to stage it as a nap. However, the roles in this are sometimes reversed as teens, where girls may be more impulsive in how they choose suicide, while the teen boy might be more thoughtful and more prepared. This just goes to show that tendencies aren't always reliable to go by. Of course, there are women who want to defy stereotypes, nature, and perceptions when they take this exit. So they may try a more aggressive method to try to make a political statement about suicide.

This is usually due to the fact that men choose more violent suicides, including shooting or hanging themselves. Women tend to elect more "soft" suicide options like wrist-cutting and pill overdoses, which have more hope of resuscitation if discovered early. Below is a pdf from the Australian Government. In conclusion- Men are 4x more likely to die from deliberate self-injurious behaviour than women.
