Men don't go to the doctors for simple things like a check-up. Unless they are on death's door, they won't to the doctor. This can led to hidden dangers to their health. Women, however, do the counteraction of going to the doctor no matter what.

Men do not go due to a foolish old belief that no matter what we do not show weakness. I believe this is an idea we as men receive from many sources like our fathers, movies ect..

This question is interesting because of the point you make that men do not usually show up for medical treatment but females do and show up regularly. you must draw the conclusion that men are paying for the females who think their ill or just want attention. men's insurance premium are about the same as females but if you do not use your health insurance your premiums should go down. and on the other hand female premiums should be doubled to pay for excessive use . also the system punishes people who keep themselves healthy .

Men probably don't get as sick as often as women! Seriously, men usually let things pass for a while before they seek an opinion. Sometimes their minor ailments go away and things go back to normal. Women by nature are a more worried bunch and seek help whenever they feel something wrong somewhere.

Many women, including this one, also don't go to doctors unless they're bleeding to death or in cardiac arrest. Expense is one consideration, busy lives, thinking the situation will improve on its own, many reasons. But you're right, it can and does lead to hidden dangers to our health.

because they are stubborn and as you said, won't go unless they absolutely have to. beats me why not... i'd rather go and be treated than be sick and miserable...
perhaps women have alot more (in some respects) to be checked regularly and are more concerned about their health in general.
go figure....
